Comparing Aluminum Casting Method with Other Methods

For producing metal parts Aluminum is a great material, no matter whether you have an entirely new product or when its demand is rising it has a need to produce more of an existing product. However, with every method of aluminum die casting method, the result is different. Each method has its limitations and possibilities, which is why there is a need to compared different methods with each other. In this way, for your production needs, you can choose the most suitable casting method.

Based on your production volumes how to select the aluminum casting method

Production volume is the most important consideration for aluminum die casting China. Your products will be of desired quality with the right casting method in terms of mechanical strength, surface quality, thermal and electrical conductivity, dimensional accuracy, costs of production and tooling, as well as delivery time. However depending on the requirements and the budget for your product you can make the annual production volume with each method.

Aluminum sand casting: Cost-efficient, small-volume production, and prototyping

For low production volumes as well as prototyping sand casting method is used. To produce all sizes castings with low tooling costs, molten aluminum is poured into a resin-bonded sand mold. On one hand, this method might be the fastest method for casting but it depends on the type of product. On the other hand, to respond to urgent demand the delivery time might be too long, and it depends on your product and the workload of your casting partner. This casting method has low dimensional accuracy so it will not produce very complex products.

Benefits of Sand casting

• Due to low tooling costs, it is cost-efficient
• Best for castings of all sizes
• In aluminum components, low pressure die casting enables a high level of solidity and low porosity
• For prototyping or small quantities of a product, it is good.

Low-pressure aluminum die casting process is a cost-effective method, in which with molten aluminum pushed upwards to the die through a tube with low pressure the mold is filled up slowly. This results in a high level of solidity and low porosity for your product. Follow us on Facebook
