The Main Advantages Of Aluminum Castings

Aluminum castings, not only from the use of materials but also from other aspects, have some advantages that other castings do not have, mainly:

(1) Aluminum castings design is beautiful, light in weight, and easy to transport. In the automotive field, this is a great advantage.

(2) The density of aluminum alloy is significantly lower than that of cast iron and cast steel, but its strength and corrosion resistance is much higher. Therefore, under the same load weight, the use of aluminum casting can greatly reduce the weight of the structure.

(3) For the surface of aluminum alloy, its surface gloss is very good, and its casting performance is also very good.

Aluminum Castings

Causes of aluminum casting mold formation and aluminum casting solutions:

Aluminum casting is a modern technology that takes electromagnetic pump low-pressure casting technology as its core, aluminum smelting molding compound purification technology and manufacturing core, and produces high-quality aluminum casting.

Aluminum castings will inevitably encounter some problems during use and storage.

1. The environment, temperature, and humidity of aluminum castings are suitable for mold growth.

2. The surface of the aluminum casting is mixed with super-soluble materials, which automatically absorb the moisture in the air, form a galvanic battery corrosion reaction, and create an environment suitable for mold growth.

3. Due to the corrosion reaction of the galvanic battery, the alkaline composite material is precipitated on the surface of the aluminum casting. After deliquescence, the temperature and humidity are suitable, and the mold grows rapidly.

4. The surface of the aluminum casting has grease, plant fiber, and other soil suitable for mold growth. Once the humidity and temperature are appropriate, mold growth will be rapid.

Measures to prevent intrusive porosity in aluminum castings:

1. Improve the exhaust capacity of sand molds and sand cores: put vent holes on the casting mold to help the exhaust, keep the vent holes of the sand core unblocked, and set vent holes on the top of the aluminum casting; use a reasonable casting system.

2. Properly increase the pouring temperature: increasing the pouring temperature can allow enough time for the invading gas to be discharged; the pouring height and speed should be controlled during pouring to ensure the smooth flow and filling of the liquid metal.

3. Improve the melting quality of molten metal: try to reduce the sulfur content of molten iron to ensure the fluidity of molten iron; prevent excessive oxidation of the molten metal and reduce gas discharge resistance.

How To Solve The Burr Of Aluminum Castings

图片
The burr phenomenon of aluminum alloy is inevitable, and there are many methods to deal with the burr. In the production process of die casting, due to factors such as pressure shock and insufficient clamping force, burrs are inevitable. In recent years, with the increasing quality requirements of die castings, the requirements for burrs have become more stringent, and methods of deburring have also emerged endlessly. The deburring process is the most annoying.  china aluminum decoration base manufacturer  introduces you to various  aluminum casting solutions , which can help you better understand the various deburring methods. And according to your needs to choose the appropriate deburring method. 1. Artificial deburring This is the most traditional and commonly used method in die-casting plants, using files (files include manual files and pneumatic files), sandpaper, belt machines, grinding heads, etc. as auxiliary tools. Disadvantages: labor cost is expensive, efficiency is

Explanation of die casting design process

In recent years, the method of adding rare earth elements to  Die-Casting Tooling Design  surface strengthening has been widely praised. This is because rare earth elements have many functions [13], such as improving the permeability rate, strengthening the surface and purifying the surface, etc., which have a great impact on the improvement of the mold surface structure, physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the surface, and can improve the permeability rate, strengthening the surface and forming rare earth compounds. At the same time, it can eliminate the harmful effect of trace impurities on grain boundary, and strengthen and stabilize grain boundary on mold cavity surface. In addition, rare earth elements interact with harmful elements in steel to form compounds with high melting point, which can inhibit the segregation of these harmful elements on grain boundary, thus reducing the brittleness in deep layer. In die casting die surface strengthening process adding rare

Is Aluminum Good For Casting?

  Aluminum castings  are often seen as having a range of advantages. The versatility of aluminum allows it to be used to produce a wide range of products and components.   The Advantages of Aluminum for Metal Casting The high malleability of aluminum makes it possible to produce aluminum castings that are near net shape (NNS). Manufacturers can forge complex castings with high dimensional accuracy in a wide range of geometric shapes. Aluminum castings are much lighter than castings made from other metals. Despite their lightweight, the alloying process ensures that an aluminum casting will remain hard and retain a good strength to weight ratio. Many aluminum alloys are stronger than steel. In comparison to any other alloy, aluminum alloy castings can withstand the highest operating temperatures. Aluminum dissipates heat quickly, which increases safety and speeds up production times. Castings made using aluminum alloys are particularly resistant to corrosion. They provide excellent shie
