Metal Casting Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent years in metal casting, and the work at [Company Name] aligns with what I do day-to-day. In my last role I helped stabilise pour quality across a dozen sand mould lines, reducing defects by about 15 percent after adjusting core setting and refractory coatings. I’m comfortable handling molten metal safely, reading pour dynamics, and keeping a line moving without compromising safety or quality. My strengths span pattern making for moulds, sand box setup, and controlling current to regulate heat in the forge. I’m used to selecting metal stock to meet specification, heating and forging with precision, and applying surface finishes that stand up to wear. I’m keen to bring hands-on knowledge of finishing and polishing metals, along with practical experience in core setting and coating applications. In a typical week I’d fill sand boxes, place patterns, and pour into moulds while monitoring temperatures and furnace controls. I’ve seen how a small adjustment to refractory coating or a cleaner sand mix can significantly improve mould life and surface finish. At [Previous Company], a run of higher alloy components benefited from tighter control of pouring temperature and a revised quenching sequence, improving overall surface integrity. I’m looking forward to discussing how I can contribute to your team. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can join a site visit if helpful. Kind regards, [Your Name]
