Gravity Die Casting

Gravity Die casting involves a process of pouring liquid metal into metallic moulds sansapplication of any exterior pressure. The liquid mental is poured into the cavity by

gravity. Gravity die casting is very different from High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC). InHPDC casting the liquid metal is poured into the metal mould under tremendous pressure

for production of thin walled smaller castings with improved dimensional precision andsurface finish.

Gravity die casting is basically a manufacturing process for manufacturing accuratelydimensioned, well defined, level surface metal parts. It is achieved by pouring molten

metal into reusable metal dies under the force of gravity.

Benefits ofGravity Die Casting

The main advantage of gravity die casting is its speedy production. The reusable dietooling helps produce hundreds of castings in a day. Interestingly, high definition parts

cuts down the machining costs and better surface finish brings down the finishing costs.

Although die-castings are cheaper than sand castings, die tooling is more expensive vis-a-vis sand tooling so the focus should be on maximizing the number of castings so as to

make it cost effective in the long run.

The process is suitable for mass production with superior reproduction; dimensional

precision and surface finish than conventional sand castings. Castings can be done from

few grams to 100 kgs of Aluminum Alloy. Also, there are reports of some foundries

manufacturing cylinder blocks of 300 Kgs by Gravity Die Casting. However, as theconstituent size and difficulty increases the process becomes even more expensive.

It also causes difficulty in handling the die and extracting the casting from the die withdecline in the dimensional accuracy and soundness of the casting.

Gravity Die casting process is good for achieving 20% higher mechanical properties thansand casting. In fact the process can be automated which will help produce semi-gravity

die-castings utilizing sand or plaster of paris for production of interior details.
