INTRODUCTION OF GRAVITY DIE CASTING

With our latest technological know-how and years of experience, we are among the manufacturers of high quality gravity die casting parts. And our gravity die casting parts are very popular among our customers Gravity Die-Casting process is used to develop exactly dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth or textured-surface metal parts. Gravity Die Casting is done by gently pouring molten metal into re-usable metal dies under the force of gravity. Gravity Die Casting products include auto (automotive, automobile, car, vehicle) & motorcycle parts, manifold, bracket, caliper, water and oil pump housing, oil pan, air drive tool, machined parts, and so on. Our company offers high quality Gravity Die Casting at market competitive price suitable to customers’ budget.

PROCESS

Gravity die casting is a process wherein the liquid metal is poured into metallic moulds without application of any external pressure. The liquid metal enters the cavity by gravity. Gravity die casting (GDC) is different from High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), where the liquid metal is injected into the metal mould under very high pressures for production of thin walled smaller castings with better dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Gravity die casting is a manufacturing process for producing accurately dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth or textured-surface metal parts. It is accomplished by gently pouring molten metal into reusable metal dies under the force of gravity. The term, "die casting," is also used to describe the finished part.

To begin the process, a cast iron mould capable of producing tens of thousands of castings must be made in at least two sections to permit removal of castings. These sections are mounted securely to a solid base and are arranged so that one is stationary (fixed die half) while the other is moveable (ejector die half).

To begin the casting cycle, the die caster clamps the two die halves tightly together. Molten metal is poured into the die cavity where it solidifies quickly. The die halves are drawn apart and the casting is ejected. Die casting dies can be simple or complex, having moveable slides, cores, or other sections depending on the complexity of the casting.

The main advantage of gravity die casting over sand casting is the high speed of production. The reusable die tooling allows for many hundreds of castings to be produced in a day. High definition parts reduce machining costs and superior surface finish reduces finishing costs.

Although die-castings are in most cases cheaper than sand castings, die tooling is considerably more expensive than sand tooling so an optimum number of castings need to be produced to make the process cost effective in the long run.

ADVANTAGE

	Lower tooling costs than for pressure die casting.
	A higher casting rate than for sand casting.
	Low gas porosity is possible.
	Gravity die casting can obtain fine grain sizes.
	Fine surface finish, e.g. 3-6 mm
	Highest quality castings can be produced by gravity die casting.
	Gravity die casting requires less finishing and polishing than for sand casting.
	Gravity die casting is suitable for mass production and for fully mechanized castings.

APPLICATION OF GRAVITY DIE CASTING

Gravity die casting (GDC) processes can be used to produce complicated high integrity components, such as wheels, cylinder heads, and engine blocks and break calipers, at lower cost than most other casting methods. Aluminum gravity die casting is suitable for mass production and for fully mechanized casting.
