An Example in Ductile Iron Casting  Axle Housing for Skid-Steer Loader

Features #3 and #4  --Interior Cylinder

Feature #3 -- The axle shaft hole does not require a machining operation; so casting does not provide a near-net shape advantage here.

Feature #4 -- With a casting, the wall thickness of the lower cylinder section can be contoured, saving weight and metal costs.

The inner diameter geometry is produced by using a sand core in the mold to form the interior cavity of the cylinder.
