Limitations of Gravity Casting
Mold Cost and Complexity Permanent Mold Casting: High initial cost for metal molds (e.g., steel or iron), making it uneconomical for small production runs. Sand Casting: Lower mold costs but limited reusability, requiring frequent mold replacement for large batches. Production Speed Slower cycle times compared to high-pressure die casting (HPDC) due to reliance on gravity […]
Different Types of Die Casting
Hot Chamber Die Casting Hot chamber die casting is ideal for metals with low melting points, such as zinc, magnesium, and some low-temperature aluminum alloys. The process involves a furnace that is part of the casting machine, with a piston that forces the molten metal into the die. Its main advantage is the quick cycle […]
