Aluminum Cast Parts: Factors for Production – Aluminum cast parts cannot just be produced without careful planning. Companies that use the aluminum casting process generally have to consider several factors before settling on a particular method of production. While the factors are many, the most important ones are only three, namely cost, feasibility, and quality.
Let us first take a look into cost. Compared to other casting process (such as sand casting, permanent mold casting, gravity-fed casting, continuous casting, investment casting, and many more), the aluminum casting process is relatively cheaper. Production costs in aluminum part castings can be cut down easily because not much after-production activities are required. With cost comes feasibility.
Aluminum cast parts are known to come in different shapes and sizes, which is why the process is also rendered as versatile. However, for a significant number of aluminum die casting process, it is important that the casting method used be determined by the dimensions or design features the client wants. For example, large cast parts are best made using sand casting for aluminum alloys; on the other hand, small to medium cast parts are perfect when made using die casting for the said alloys.
Finally, the quality factor takes into consideration the degree of soundness and the levels of mechanical properties. The degree of soundness includes things such as freedom from surface imperfections, cracking, and porosity. On the other hand, the levels of mechanical properties include things such as ductility and, of course, strength. All of these factors are vital to the production, particularly mass production, of aluminum diecasting parts.
