Metal-type gravity casting in which the mold can be reused without damaging the mold (without reaching the life expectancy of the mold) is also considered to be permanent mold casting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are gravity die casting products better than high pressure die casting products?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not necessarily, through the production of gravity casting products more thick, and high pressure casting products more lightweight. If a certain thickness of the product (general thickness of 5mm or more), the use of their respective suitable process of aluminum, gravity die casting after T6 heat treatment strength is much higher than the high-pressure die casting (die casting commonly used adc12 generally can not be heat-treated), but in the absence of a certain thickness of the product (for example: 50cmx50cmx50cm product is only 3mm thick), gravity casting is unable to casting molding. (The gravity pressure is small and easy to cast molding. (Gravity role pressure is small easy product under casting to play not full) and, but from the appearance, no matter how thick the product high pressure die casting product surface roughness is far lower than gravity casting, that is, the surface is more smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hersin has high-pressure die casting, low-pressure die casting, gravity die casting and other processes, more than 20 years of manufacturing experience, complete production system, through more Hersin engineers contact, can provide the process to meet your needs, to ensure that the project runs perfectly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is gravity casting?
