Why Use Sand Casting or Permanent Mold Casting for Lamp Bases?


We specialize in the production of cast aluminum components tailored for decorative lamp bases and street lighting fixture parts. Our services encompass sand casting and permanent mold casting techniques, specifically optimized for crafting aluminum decorative lamp bases and street lighting fixtures. Additionally, we offer die casting services for manufacturing LED lighting housing.

One of the primary advantages of utilizing aluminum in our casting processes is its cost-effectiveness. Aluminum parts are notably more economical compared to components produced through alternative manufacturing methods. Functionally, aluminum cast parts typically weigh approximately one-third less than their steel counterparts while maintaining the requisite strength and durability essential for any lighting fixture. This combination of cost efficiency and lightweight durability makes aluminum an ideal material choice for our specialized casting applications in the lighting industry.



What are the advantages of using sand casting and permanent mold casting for making lamp bases?

Sand casting and permanent mold casting offer several advantages for making lamp bases:

  1. Cost-Effectiveness: Both sand casting and permanent mold casting are relatively economical methods of casting compared to other processes like investment casting or die casting. This makes them suitable for producing lamp bases in large quantities without significantly increasing production costs.

  2. Versatility: Sand casting and permanent mold casting can accommodate a wide range of lamp base designs, including intricate and decorative shapes. This versatility allows for creative freedom in design while still maintaining the structural integrity of the lamp base.

  3. Suitability for Large Parts: Lamp bases can vary in size, and both sand casting and permanent mold casting are capable of producing relatively large components. This makes them suitable for casting lamp bases of various dimensions without sacrificing quality or detail.

  4. Material Options: Sand casting and permanent mold casting can be used with a variety of materials, including aluminum, brass, and bronze, among others. This allows for flexibility in material selection based on factors such as cost, appearance, and durability.

  5. Surface Finish: While sand casting may produce a rougher surface finish compared to other methods like die casting, both sand casting and permanent mold casting can achieve acceptable surface finishes for lamp bases with proper finishing techniques such as grinding, polishing, or painting.


  6. Process Control: Both sand casting and permanent mold casting offer good process control, allowing for consistent and repeatable results. This is important for ensuring that each lamp base meets quality standards and specifications.

Overall, the advantages of sand casting and permanent mold casting make them well-suited for producing lamp bases that are cost-effective, versatile, and of high quality.
