There are a lot of advantages associated with gravity die casting, including:
- The process is used to create typically high-quality castings, characterized by good surface finish, good repeatability, and fair-to-good dimensional precision.
- It consistently yields components of good quality, when the process is reliably and consistently executed and parameters and alloys remain stable.
- It delivers a cost-efficient approach for manufacturing on a moderate scale (250 to 50,000 per annum) and is more cost-efficient than pressure die-casting at lower volumes.
- Gravity die-casting results in less scrap compared to other (non-die) casting methods, delivering repeatable castings with minimal defects and porosity, once operational protocols are established.
- It can work with an extensive array of materials, encompassing aluminum, brass, bronze, zinc, magnesium, and copper, and a wide array of their alloys.
