Gravity Permanent Mold Casting Process
Gravity permanent mold casting process overview
Gravity casting uses gravity to pour molten metal into a pre-prepared metal model, and forms a casting after cooling and solidification. Gravity casting is suitable for producing castings with high precision and simple structure, and has the characteristics of low cost and easy operation.
1. Mold preparation
Gravity casting molds are made of sand molds, metal or ceramic materials.
The design process of the mold needs to consider factors such as the fluidity of the metal, the cooling rate and the complex shape of the casting.
2. Melting metal materials
The metal material is heated to above its melting point in a high-temperature furnace to completely melt the metal material.
3. Pouring
During the pouring process, the molten metal flows from the metal molten pool into the runner system of the mold by gravity, enters the mold cavity through the gate, fills the mold cavity and forms the shape of the desired casting.
4. Cooling and solidification
After entering the mold cavity, the molten metal begins to cool and solidify, gradually forming a casting.
5. Gravity permanent mold castings demolding
After the casting is completely cooled, disassemble or destroy the mold and remove the casting from the mold.
6. Castings cleaning
The casting removed from the mold is cleaned, the excess gates, risers and other accessories on the surface are removed, and further processing or inspection is performed.
7. Post-processing and testing
After demoulding and cleaning, the casting needs to go through post-processing steps such as heat treatment and machining to improve the performance of the casting and meet the customer's design requirements.
8. Quality Inspection
Comprehensive measurement is carried out through surface quality inspection, dimension inspection, mechanical property test and other quality inspection methods to ensure that permanent mold castings meet the requirements of design drawings.
