Gravity Casting vs. Low-Pressure Casting: Features and Advantages
Gravity Casting (Primarily Metal Mold Casting)
Gravity casting relies on molten metal filling a steel mold under its own weight. After cooling, the mold is opened to remove the casting.
Core Features and Advantages:
High Density:
- Natural solidification without external disturbances results in excellent mechanical properties.
- Tensile strength improves by 10%-15%, making it ideal for load-bearing components like aluminum/zinc alloy wheels and engine cylinder heads.
Long Mold Lifespan:
- Steel molds can be reused over 10,000 times, significantly reducing per-piece costs.
- Suitable for medium-volume production of 10,000-100,000 units annually.
Fast Production:
- Cooling rate is 3-5 times faster than sand casting, with production cycles reduced to 3-10 minutes per piece.
Superior Surface Quality:
- Surface roughness: Ra 12.5-25μm.
- Dimensional tolerance: ±0.3mm, reducing machining requirements by 30%.
