The ultimate success of the casting design depends on the communication between the designer and foundry engineers. When the foundry is properly informed of part requirements, there is usually a compromise of specifications that will allow for maximum compliance to print specifications and finish part design.

1 Standard Linear Tolerance(mm)

As-cast tolerances of angles is mainly a function of the part design and their ocation in casting. They range from +/- 1/2 degree (considered minimum) for well supported positions to +/- 2 degree where existing distortion could be expected. Inclusion of gussets and ribs normally minimizes distortion and many sections can be mechanically straightened.

2 Flatness, Strengteness and Roundness

Section Thickness	Possible Thickness Section Sink per Face of Casting
	Normal	Premium
Up to 25	0.20	0.10
25 to 50	0.40	0.20
50 to 100	0.60	0.30
100 to 150	0.80	0.40

Straightening adds cost, but sometimes cannot be avoided. The actual straightening costs are often dependent on the tightness of the tolerance specified, so do not specify tighter flatness, straightness, roundness, or other requirements than you actually require. (WOTECH typically straightens parts using die sets that will be included in your tooling price.)

3 Size and Weight Range
Size and Weight. Part size and weight are the most critical factors in determining part cost because mold capacity is limited by both size and weight. The more pieces that can run on a mold, the lower the part cost. Unnecessary mass should always be removed by correct engineering practices to reduce part weight.

Items	Size	Premium
Outline Dimention	1000×620×380	up to 100
Weight(kgs)	0.001-60	0.10 to 1.50
Min. Wall Thickness	0.50	5 to 105 Surface Roughness

80 to 120 RMS are average.

4 Hole Length

Making a good hole in a casting is dependent on the integrity of the shell. The ratio of holediameter to length is important in determining what can be offered. Blind holes must have aradius at the top and the bottom of the hole to insure that a strong core is built for castingpurposes and to insure the best possible casting.

5 Heat Treatment
Heat treatments are used to control hardness, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and surface treatments. Unless otherwise indicated, all alloy steels are quoted with a normalize or anneal. All 300 series stainless steels and 17-4PH are quoted with a solution anneal.
