ABOUT GRAVITY DIE CASTING

It is referred to as Permanent Mould, GDC is a repeatable casting process used for non-ferrous alloy parts, typically Aluminum, Zinc and Copper Base Alloys.

The process differs from HPDC in that Gravity- rather than high pressure- is used to fill the mould with the liquid alloy.

There are three key stages in the process.

1. The heated mould [Die or Tool] is coated with a die release agent. The release agent spray also has a secondary function in that it aids cooling of the mould face after the previous part has been removed from the die.

2. Molten metal is poured into channels in the tool to allow the material to fill all the extremities of the mould cavity. The metal is either hand poured using steel ladles or dosed using mechanical methods. 

3. Once the part has cooled sufficiently, the die is opened, either manually or utilizing mechanical methods.
 

ADVANTAGES

1.Good dimensional accuracy

2.Smoother cast surface finish than sand casting

3.Improved mechanical properties compared to sand casting

4.Thinner walls can be cast compared to sand casting

5.Reverse draft internal pockets and forms can be cast in using preformed sand core inserts

6.Steel pins and inserts can be cast into the part

7.Faster production times compared to other processes.

8.Once the tooling is proven, the product quality is very repeatable.

9.Outsourced Tooling setup costs can be lower than UK sand casting.

Product Description
 




Our Advantage: Molds Created On-Site

In addition to die-casting, Stick Industry is a full-service mold manufacturing facility offering in-house tooling design and production. Where most die-casting facilities only offer mold repair, Stick Industry can create a custom mold on-site, and then simply transfer that mold to the die-casting area.
