Aluminum Castings and zinc alloy permanent mold castings are our specialty with in house machining and finishing. Call us first becasue we have so much knowledge and industry expertise that we can tell you and even point you to the right vendor and process to suit your budget and needs.
Permanent mold casting is a process in which molten metal fills the permanent metal molds using gravity and tilt pouring. This create less air and defects creating a solid machineable casting that is repeatable.
A permanent mold casting is a gravity filling mold method of creating custom products and components. A permanent mold is made from metal and tooling is much less than die casting.
Permanent Mold Casting has its advantages over sand castings and die castings.
Near net shape can be maintained. Machining allowances are smaller because the finished casting is much closer to the final spec.
Compared to aluminum sand castings, those done in permanent molds have less shrinkage, lower gas porosity, and finer dendrite arm spacing (DAS).
Compared to die casting, permanent mold aluminum casting is less likely to contain entrapped gas.
The result is a denser, stronger, tighter aluminum casting that requires less finishing work. These qualities are consistent throughout the run-up to 50,000 pieces – and regardless of the casting size. Permanent mold cast parts can be as small as a few ounces or as large as 100 pounds or more.
Short lead times of 6-8 weeks compared to 10-14 at other permanent mold shops
Our aluminum castings designs are created in SolidWorks 3D CAD software
to provide both quality and accurate parts.
We mitigate risks through the design process utilizing Finite Element Analysis
and Computational Fluid Dynamic software as well as thermal imaging and
robotic sawing to streamline the processes.
