Sand Casting & Die casting Processes for aluminum alloy components

Aluminum alloy mold casting can be divided into two main groups: sand casting and die casting. 
According to the specific constructure or demand quantity or budget control, under some situations,
sand casting are also used a lot, due to the lower cost of the tooling cost.



In sand casting, re-usable, permanent patterns are used to make the sand moulds. The sand cores
used for forming the inside shape of hollow parts of the casting are made using dry sand components.
In die casting,  the mould is generally not destroyed at each cast but is permanent, being made of a metal
such as cast iron or steel.
 

Aluminium alloy castings are very useful and popular techniques in developing & manufacturing semi- or
finished products with complicated shapes. Those techniques are continuously improved and developed to
satisfy more and more particular needs and new markets.
