Aluminum gravity casting, also known as permanent mold casting, is a metal casting process that utilizes gravity to fill a permanent mold with molten aluminum. This method is known for producing high-quality components with excellent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.
The casting capacity of WELLE manufacturers including process, material, weight and size is listed as follows:
✧ Casting Process: Vacuum Casting, Investment Casting, Sand Casting, Centrifugal casting, Lost Foam Casting, Die Casting, NDT (Non-Destructive testing), Heat-treatment, Welding,CNC Machining.
✧ Casting Material: Nickel-Base Alloys, Alloy Steel, Inconel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Copper, Bronze, Aluminum Series, Cast Iron, SG Iron, other materials are available upon request.
✧ Casting Weight: 0.02kg – 2,000kg
✧ Size: 5mm – 3000mm
Process:
- Mold Preparation: A durable mold, typically made of steel or iron, is preheated and coated with a release agent.
- Metal Pouring: Molten aluminum is poured into the mold using the force of gravity.
- Solidification: The metal cools and solidifies, taking the shape of the mold.
- Part Removal: Once solidified, the cast part is removed from the mold, and excess material is trimmed.
- Finishing: Additional machining and finishing processes may be applied to achieve the desired specifications.
Applications: Aluminum gravity casting is employed for manufacturing components that require a balance of strength, durability, and precision. Common applications include automotive parts, household appliances, industrial equipment, and various structural components.
Industries:
- Automotive: Engine components, transmission parts, wheels.
- Appliances: Housings for appliances like refrigerators and washing machines.
- Industrial Equipment: Pump and valve components, gear housings.
- Structural Components: Frameworks and parts for construction and infrastructure.
Market Trends: Anticipated trends in the aluminum gravity casting market post-2024 involve an increased focus on sustainability, process automation, and the development of advanced alloys for enhanced performance. The demand for lightweight materials in automotive and aerospace industries is expected to drive continuous innovation and adoption of aluminum gravity casting in various applications.
