The component can be produced in either Aluminium or Zinc. Using a permanent mould called Gravity Die Tooling. Gravity Investment Castingss are produced by molten metal entering an aperture in the Gravity Die Tooling, this aperture allows metal to enter the cavity to form the cast shape of the Gravity Investment Castings required by the customer.
Gravity Investment Castings produced are cost effective for quantities of a semi to high volumes. The finishing operations on a Gravity Die
Improvement to production rates of Gravity Investment Castings can be improved by the use of multiple tooling.
A Gravity Die-Tooling is able to produce Gravity Investment Castingss for several years without the need of refurbishment.
Casting are minimal compared to a conventional sand casting, usually on a Gravity Investment Castings the joint line is minimal and in some circumstances the need for an operation is not required.
Gravity Investment Castings produced in all grades of Aluminium and Zinc. Higher volumes of precision castings are achievable using the Gravity - Investment Castings, external or internal is either produced by means of a purpose made steel core or as previously mentioned an Airset sand core.
Gravity Investment Castings if required by specification can be heat treated to adjust or improve its characteristics
Mechanical means are some times required for opening and closing of Die Tooling if the Gravity Investment Castings to be produced is large and complex. join in www.kscastings.com
