Low-pressure aluminum casting

Low-pressure casting ensures a slow and controlled filling of the mold cavity. This approach helps limit turbulence and aims for good material integrity for structural, functional, or high-mechanical-requirement parts.
01

Controlled Filling for Material Soundness

The metal is introduced slowly under controlled pressure to progressively fill the cavity. This approach limits turbulence and aims for good material integrity for structural or functional parts.
02

Process Principle

  1. 1
    Liquid aluminum is held in the furnace.
  2. 2
    Controlled pressure pushes the metal into the riser tube.
  3. 3
    The mold cavity fills progressively.
  4. 4
    The part solidifies before mold opening and finishing.

Applications and Decision Points

  • Structural and functional parts.
  • Casings and pump bodies.
  • Components with high mechanical requirements.
  • Parts with a specified leak-tightness in the specifications.
Leak-tightness or radiographic inspections can be considered as associated services depending on the project and its level of requirement.
