FAQs
Everything You Need to Know
What Makes Sand Castings Different?
plus-icon

We specialise in highly complex, gravity-fed air set sand castings. This process is cost-effective, agile, and produces strong mechanical properties. By using multiple sand mediums such as silica, chromite, alumina and zircon, combined with coatings and chill placement, we achieve consistently high casting integrity.

How Does Gravity Casting Support Next-Generation Vehicles?
plus-icon

Advances in vehicle and engine design demand lighter, more powerful solutions. Our gravity aluminium castings deliver on these needs, making them ideal for low-carbon vehicle technologies and future mobility platforms.

Do You Offer Automated Aluminium Casting for Higher Volumes?
plus-icon

Yes. Our series foundries combine precision sand casting flexibility with economies of scale for pre-production and Tier 1 supply.

 

We typically produce engine blocks, cylinder heads and EV castings, with annual volumes between 1,000–10,000 units and capacity for up to 90,000 castings.

Can You Provide an Engineering Through to Assembly Solution?
plus-icon

Absolutely. Beyond casting, we offer engineering, machining, validation, sub-assembly and final assembly, delivering fully validated components ready for engine or vehicle build.

What Are the Benefits of Your Gigacasting Process?
plus-icon

Gigacasting improves structural integrity, reduces weight and cost, and streamlines assembly. Using advanced sand casting and 3D-printed cores, we offer rapid design changes, faster lead times and reduced tooling costs, all while reclaiming sand to support sustainability.

What Experience Do You Have in Powertrain and Transmission Programs?
plus-icon

With decades of championship-winning engine and transmission programs, we offer unparalleled expertise. Using CT scanning, casting simulation and the Cosworth Rollover Casting process, we deliver high-integrity, lightweight castings for the world’s most demanding motorsport applications.

What Makes Your Castings So Reliable?
plus-icon

We follow the golden rules of casting: minimising defects from melting, controlling oxide formation, avoiding gas porosity, and ensuring correct temperature gradients and feeding. These practices, refined over the years, underpin our reputation for producing globally renowned, reliable castings.

 

We are the world’s leading experts in sand casting, trusted globally for producing the highest-quality aluminium castings.

 

Whether for motorsport, automotive, aerospace or industrial markets, we deliver the “Grainger & Worrall difference”: expertise, innovation and reliability.
