Ferrous Casting Processes

Shell Casting

Seglian’s shell casting process is engineered for components that demand exceptional precision, smooth surface finishes, and consistent dimensional accuracy. By utilizing a hardened shell mold made from fine resin sand, this method is ideal for producing complex ferrous and non-ferrous parts with thin walls, tight tolerances, and reduced draft angles. While shell molding requires thoughtful mold design to account for potential shrinkage, the benefits are significant: reduced material usage, improved casting consistency, and lower overall production costs—making it a smart, efficient solution for high-performance applications.

Greater complexity, Tighter tolerance, and Less 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
  • Ferrous and non-ferrous applications (Iron, steel, aluminum)

  • Parts are near to net shape requiring less machining

  • Components for emissions systems, energy, automotive, and industrial OEMs
