Diecasting-Mould.Com - Casting Processes Explained - braveheart - 24/08/2025 Casting is the backbone of complex metal part production: pour molten metal into a mold, control solidification, and you get near-net shapes that often need minimal machining. From automotive housings and pistons to aerospace brackets and appliance components, the right process choice balances cost, geometry, mechanical properties, and finish. A quick tour of the landscape: Sand casting shines for very large parts and flexible gating/risers, though surface finish is rougher. Gravity die casting uses permanent molds (steel/graphite) for improved accuracy and life, ideal for aluminum, zinc, and magnesium. Pressure die casting splits into high-pressure (HPDC) for thin-walled, intricate, high-volume parts and low-pressure (LPDC) for larger, simpler geometries with good integrity. Investment casting (lost-wax) delivers superb detail and thin sections at higher cost and cycle time, while plaster casting adds accuracy for thin cross-sections but dislikes high-temperature ferrous alloys. OEM aluminum die casting: thin walls, sharp definition, and strong repeatability for high-volume programs. Centrifugal casting (true, semi-, vertical) leverages rotation to form cylindrical shapes—liners, rings—with low porosity. Lost foam casting replaces wax with foam patterns and suits complex cavities in steels. Vacuum casting reduces air entrapment and helps with structural chassis parts. Squeeze casting merges permanent mold with forging pressure for dense, low-porosity aluminum knuckles and joints. Continuous casting creates constant-section billets and bars for downstream rolling, and shell molding uses resin-coated fine sand for cleaner surfaces and better dimensional control on items like gearbox housings and con-rods. Selecting among them depends on a few levers: Geometry and wall thickness: HPDC excels at thin, intricate walls; investment for ultra-fine detail; squeeze casting for robust, safety-critical sections. Alloy family: Aluminum (LM/ADC series), zinc, magnesium are common in die casting; steels favor investment/lost foam/sand; copper-base alloys need tailored gating and cooling. Volume and tooling: Permanent molds (gravity/HPDC/LPDC/squeeze) amortize tooling at scale; sand/investment fit lower volumes or frequent design changes. Integrity requirements: Vacuum/HPDC with good venting for porosity control; squeeze for highest density; X-ray and leak testing verify outcomes. Finish and post-processing: Shot-blast, machining, coatings (powder, plating) align with cosmetic and tolerance targets.
