Foundry & Fabrication have had an aluminium die casting uk based capability for over twenty years. Our gravity die-cast production facility is housed in a different manufacturing unit away from the sand casting uk based activity. This can assist in the production process, and can help ensure that the tooling and production remains at the optimum quality, ensuring that there is no contamination from our sand foundry uk based facility.
Aluminium die casting uk is distinct and quite different from a sand casting uk foundry. The production technique itself is most suited to higher volume batch production. This contrasts with airset moulding and greensand machine moulding, which generally are more tailored to lower volume castings. Gravity die casting utilizes iron moulds, know as dies, from which the aluminium die casting uk are produced.
The tooling or die, for further information on toolmaking please visit our toolmaking page, required to produce an aluminium casting uk is generally more expensive than the patterns or tooling used in other foundry processes such as airset moulding or greensand moulding. The costs required for toolmaking in the gravity die aluminium casting uk process is far less than pressure die cast components. The tooling allows for an aluminium die casdting uk produced, to be far more accurate than the other processes referred to above.
The iron mould cools the aluminium or zinc alloy rapidly. This rapid cooling gives the cast aluminium certain properties. It gives rise to an improved grain structure that contributes to the mechanical characteristics of the cast part.
