Uses
  • The automotive industry is the largest market for
    aluminum castings
  • More than half of the aluminum used in cars.
  • Used in transportation industry like aircraft and
    marine engines and other equipments.
  • Parts of small appliances, hand tools such as for
    carpentry, plumbing, and garden, water and air
    pumps, lawnmowers, cooking wares, kitchen
    utensils, home decorations and different
    appliances, electronics and casing for high tech
    gadgets, various childrens toys

Most common types
  • Aluminum Die Casting
  • Aluminum Investment Castings
  • Permanent Casting
  • Sand Casting
  • Plaster Casting
  • Shell Casting
  • Lost Foam Aluminum Casting

4
Aluminum Die Casting
  • Process aluminium or other molten metal is
    forced into the molds under high pressure.
  • Used in automobile, aerospace and power tool
    industries.
  • Types
  • low-pressure die casting,
  • vacuum die casting,
  • squeeze die casting and
  • semi-solid die casting

5
Aluminum Investment Castings/ Lost Wax Casting
  • Process wax is injected (invested) into a die as
    part of the process of producing an exact pattern
    of the item that is to be manufactured.
  • Uses electronics, defense, aerospace, avionics,
    pump, engine, and valve industries.

6
Permanent Casting
  • Process Use of gravity or vacuum to cast molten
    metal into the mold.
  • Advantage Quite cost-effective and suitable for
    large number of castings
  • Uses gears and gear housings, pipe fittings, and
    other automotive and aircraft components such as
    pistons, impellers, and wheels.

7
Sand Casting
  • One of the oldest methods
  • Process Used for making sand moulds only. A
    pattern is made in the shape of the desired part.
  • Benefits Sand casting is the least expensive of
    all castings including processes, including die
    and investment casting.

8
Plaster Casting
  • Process Plaster slurry Poured around wax then is
    baked. By doing so, the pattern will melt which
    will leave give you the desired shape.

9
Shell Casting
  • Uses a resin covered sand to form the mold
  • Shell castings are used for producing castings
    with accurate dimension
  • Quite expensive and hence is not used on a large
    scale

10
Aluminum Casting Custom Components
  • Aluminum casting is very suitable for high
    quality and precision-required custom components
  • For this reason, most of high end engine
    equipments use aluminum components

11
lost foam aluminum casting
  • Lost-foam casting (LFC) is a type of
    evaporative-pattern casting process that is
    similar to investment casting except foam is used
    for the pattern instead of wax. This process
    takes advantage of the low boiling point of foam
    to simplify the investment casting process by
    removing the need to melt the wax out of the mold.
