Shell Mould Casting
Fine Finish, High Repeatability
Sharper detail and tighter tolerances than conventional sand casting. Magnus Sourcing has access to India's shell-moulding foundries, forming resin-coated sand shells around heated patterns to produce accurate, smooth iron, steel and aluminium parts in volume - delivered reliably to your facility, wherever you operate.
Shell-mould
Process
Pattern Heating
A reusable metal pattern is heated to the right temperature - the key to forming a clean, consistent shell every cycle.
Shell Forming
The hot pattern is coated with resin-coated sand; the heat cures a thin, hard shell that precisely captures the pattern's shape.
Shell Curing & Removal
The shell is fully cured in an oven, then stripped from the pattern as two matching half-shells.
Shell Assembly
The two halves are clamped together with any cores in place and set into a flask with backing support, ready for pouring.
Metal Pouring
Molten iron, steel or aluminium is poured into the assembled shell mould, filling every detail cleanly.
Shakeout & Finishing
The shell is broken away, the casting is removed, gates are cut off, then it's cleaned, blasted and inspected before dispatch.
Why Engineers Choose
Shell Mould Casting?
Superior Finish & Accuracy
Fine resin-coated sand reproduces sharp detail and smooth surfaces, with tighter dimensional accuracy than conventional green-sand casting.
High Volume, High Repeatability
Reusable patterns and fast shell-forming make it ideal for medium-to-large production runs with consistent part-to-part quality.
Less Machining Needed
Near-net shapes and tight tolerances mean reduced secondary machining - lower cost and faster delivery per part.
