There are many ways for making metal materials into required products, such as casting, forging, extrusion, and so on. Among them, casting is the most basic, common, and widespread process.
The molten metal is injected into the hollow castings made of high-temperature resistant materials and condensed to obtain the desired shape of the product, a process called casting, and the resulting product is casting.
Casting can be divided into ferrous metal casting and non-ferrous metal casting according to the material. Non-ferrous precision casting factory specializes in non-ferrous metal casting, focusing on aluminum alloy and zinc alloy casting. The precision casting factory is well-versed in the casting process and designs and manufactures casting molds.
Casting is divided into gravity casting and pressure casting according to the pouring process of molten metal.
The molten aluminum for gravity casting is generally manually poured into the gate, and the cavity(such as gravity wheel mold) is filled by the weight of the molten metal, exhausted, cooled, and the mold is opened until the sample is obtained.
The only force which fills the mold cavity is gravity; The fill can be controlled by tilting the die. The gravity die casting process produces what is known as castings, where solidification is promoted in a specific portion of the metal casting mold.
Gravity casting and die casting manufacturing processes are the most commonly used in metal casting and are also available at reasonable prices.
● There are few pores inside the aluminum casting, which ensures the production of heat-treatable gravity castings with minimal porosity.
● Gravity dies casting employs cast iron or steel molds which allow aluminum and zinc castings to be produced more accurately.
● Gravity casting is cheaper than sand casting while making gravity die casting parts with better surface finish and better mechanical properties.
● Lower mold cost and long mold life, bringing economic benefits.
● Tooling costs of gravity casting are a fraction of those needed for pressure die casting, while rapid chilling provides excellent mechanical properties.
● The process is simple and suitable for mass production.
● Special aluminum alloy with low fluidity can be used.
● The materials can be used in a wide range.
