Ferrous Casting Processes

Shell Casting

Seglian offers shell casting services designed for components that demand tighter tolerances, smoother finishes, and consistent dimensional accuracy. Using a hardened shell mold and fine sand, this process is ideal for complex ferrous or non-ferrous parts where performance, quality, and repeatability matter.

Fine detail, durable molds, and minimal machining

Shell casting—also known as shell mold casting—uses a thermoset resin-coated sand to form precise molds capable of producing fine features and excellent surface finishes. It’s a highly efficient option for mid- to high-volume production of metal parts that require consistency, low porosity, and tight dimensional control.

  • Thin-walled, intricate castings with tight tolerances
  • Medium-to-high volume runs with fast cycle times
  • Ferrous and non-ferrous applications (steel, stainless, aluminum)
  • Parts requiring reduced machining and better finish quality
  • Components for emissions systems, energy, automotive, and industrial OEMs
