Molten metal fills the mold by gravity. It is the most versatile and widely adopted traditional casting method, compatible with all ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-NoD8fFmJ4d4NfecSznrcsbALnmb\"><strong>Core Features<\/strong>: Extremely low cost for small-batch production, no size limitation for castings, capable of forming high-melting-point metals such as steel and titanium. The main drawbacks are low dimensional accuracy, rough surface finish and large machining allowance.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-BoOAfgjjsdzdnycoJHEcU41unec\"><strong>Typical Applications<\/strong>: Engine blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, large machine tool bases, and heavy machinery structural castings.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-QxjTfwUbyd20RxcmbE5c2JMCnGe\">2.2 Permanent Mold Gravity Die Casting<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7439 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2.png 1000w, https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-D1p1fXysYdydqTcvK2tcWeq5nWh\">This process adopts reusable rigid molds made of steel or graphite.

Classified as a semi-precision casting technology, the mold can be reused for cyclic production.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-H7OOfJAAZdTBgNc860dcLYv8nFf\"><strong>Core Features<\/strong>: Fast solidification leads to dense microstructure, better surface quality and higher dimensional accuracy than sand casting, suitable for thin-wall mass production. The main limitations are high mold cost and incapability of manufacturing complex or deep-cavity parts.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Y0TwfuJpbdNr51cQ5W4cKYZHnib\"><strong>Typical Applications<\/strong>: Aluminum\/magnesium alloy pistons, gearbox housings, pipe fittings, wheel blanks, and medium-small mechanical structural parts.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-WZ5NfYhkedEmcxcVXcPcYgADnkf\">2.3 High &amp; Low Pressure Die Casting<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7440\" src=\"https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.png 1000w, https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/partsmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Z8BXf3hNUdK9yicbSRAcAK9CnBO\">Pressure die casting is divided into two branches: high-pressure die casting (HPDC) injects molten non-ferrous metal at ultra-high speed and pressure for high-precision small complex parts; low-pressure die casting (LPDC) delivers metal steadily at low pressure for large and simple components. It is exclusively applicable to non-ferrous alloys.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-R2PafktJcdKkizcYP3Dc1vThnuc\"><strong>Core Features<\/strong>: Ultra-high dimensional accuracy, outstanding production efficiency and minimal post-processing allowance.

In practical engineering selection, high-precision processes are not always necessary. The optimal solution requires comprehensive consideration of product structure, material requirements, production volume and budget. Sand casting is preferred for cost-effective small-batch production; die casting for mass-produced precision parts; investment casting for high-end complex components; and squeeze casting for high-strength structural parts. This matching strategy maximizes product quality and production economy simultaneously.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casting is one of the core near-net-shape metal forming technologies in modern equipment manufacturing.
