control flatness in sand casting?
control flatness in sand casting?
(OP)
We've got some 356 aluminum plates we sand cast that I'd like to get flatter. The foundry does some straightening on it but they do a very inconsistent job. I thought I could add or subtract some material from one side or the other. Would adding material to the convex side reduce the bending? The plate is about 8" x 8" x .56" with bosses.

Your bosses are probably interfering with that operation.
