GRAVITY DIE CASTING
Gravity casting involves pouring molten aluminum into a cavity and then tilting the entire mold.
The aluminum will then naturally solidify to form a part.
Saint Jean Industries has been using gravity casting technology for many years in the automotive.
industry to reduce weight and costs. This technology allows to produce parts with industry to reduce weight and costs. This technology allows to produce parts with.
Gravity casting is the first step in the process, which therefore provides a preform before the forging operation.
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE GRAVITY DIE CASTING
Fast and economical casting process.
High repeatability and low tooling costs due to long life.
Good dimensional accuracy.
Good mechanical characteristics.
Possibility to obtain high production rates thanks to automation.
Saint Jean industries designs and manufactures its tools in-house, which allows for a high level of reactivity.
Our light, flexible and automated equipment allows us to reach high production rates, from a few thousand to several million parts per reference.
MANUFACTURED PARTS
The gravity casting process is particularly suitable for safety critical parts such as suspension and chassis parts: stub axles and wheel carriers, hollow stub axles, suspension arms, hollow suspension arms, suspension mounts, transmission mounts, subframe, cradle…
Three benefits of gravity die casting
Casting quality
The hardened metal dies used in gravity die casting enable the molten metal to cool and solidify quickly. This produces a fine grain structure, giving gravity cast parts excellent mechanical attributes like strength and stiffness. Such parts are also suitable for heat treatment.
Cost efficiency
Because the metal dies can be re-used, this ensures casting repeatability and allows for multiple casting cycles over longer time periods. The process is economical for, and adaptable to, short-run, medium-run, and mass production.
Automation
Gravity die casting is highly suited to automation and the productivity gains that come with that. With various automated cell configurations possible, metal casters of any size can benefit.
