Gravity casting
In gravity casting, molten metal is poured into a mould by means of gravity. Solidification times vary from half a minute to 6 minutes, after wich the piece can be removed from the mould. Mechanized casting process managed by hydraulic casting machines with PLC control, meltin furnace - warm keepingfurnace
Advantages of gravity casting
- Low investement in tools
- Thermal treatment possible - better mechanical properties
- Internal cavities - sand cores
- Flexible production process
