What isGravity Die Casting?

Inthis process, we pour molten metal from a ladle or vessel to the mold. (Themold cavity doesn’t have force besides gravity, so we perform filling bytilting the die.)  We use sand cores toincorporate undercuts and cavities to the component form.

Anexcellent surface finish is the result of gravity die casting that’s betterthan sand casting. (The mechanical properties die casting is also better thansand casting. The reason for this is rapid solidification.)

Unlikesand casting, gravity die casting requires less fettling and finishing. Weoffer you high-quality products due to die casting. Also, the gravity diescasting method is less costly than sand casting.

Takenote: gravitydie casting offers a higher casting rate than sand casting. But the metal moldsare a little costly than sand.

OurGravity Die Casting Process

Alright,gravity die casting is a manual method using a ladle. But other high-volumeapplications use an automated ladle in pouring the molten metal. We control thefilling effectively by tilting the die.

Takenote that the gravity die casting process is similar to sand casting and hasfour steps, such as the following:

  1. We heat the die then sprayed with refractory coating, and we closeit.  The coating controls the temperatureof the die effectively. Also, the coating helps in removing the castingseffectively.
  2. Next, we pour molten metal into the die. (In certain cases, a machineis used to do this process) to solidify the metal.
  3. Now, we open the die, and we remove the cast parts by hand. (In someconditions, we use ejector pins to opening the die and removing the castparts.)
  4. Last, we remove the scrap, runners, flash, and sprues from thecastings. Then, we process the castings to remove any sharp edge and extramaterial. If required, we clear the blast.
