Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Boxes vs Gravity Casting

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Boxes vs Gravity Casting. It is difficult to take sides when you are confronted with the scenario of Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Boxes vs Gravity Casting. Before you make a bet, read first what the aluminum boxes produced through pressure die casting possess that the boxes produced through gravity casting do not.

Pressure die casting is a flexible method of producing boxes by forcing molten aluminum under high pressure into steel molds or dies. Through this process, aluminum boxes can be produced with either textured or smooth surfaces and with sharply defined features. The boxes are more durable, heat resistant, and stronger. Because of this, the boxes which are crafted through pressure die casting also have a longer service life than boxes which are created through other processes. How about gravity casting?

Gravity casting, on the other hand, utilizes gravitational force, rather than high pressure, in order to fill a die or a mold with molten aluminum. This method, also referred to as vacuum casting, which was first utilized in the 1970’s can also produce good quality aluminum boxes at a cheaper price than pressure die casting. Gravity casting is a very useful means of producing aluminum boxes using the permanent mold process. This method is more advisable if the manufacturer aims for a visually pleasing rather than structurally pleasing product.
