Aluminum alloy casting processing company

Aluminum alloy casting is a manufacturing process used to produce complex parts and components made from aluminum alloys. The process involves pouring molten aluminum alloy into a mold cavity and solidifying it to obtain the desired shape. The following are some points of aluminum alloy casting: 

Aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy has light weight, high strength to weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and other excellent properties, widely used in casting. 

Models and molds: The casting process begins with the creation of models or molds, which are usually made of wood, metal, or resin. These molds determine the shape and size of the final casting. 

Mold preparation: Before casting, the mold cavity is prepared by applying paint or release agent to facilitate the removal of castings from the mold. 

Molten casting: the aluminum alloy is melted in the furnace at high temperature until it melts. It is then poured through the pouring system into the prepared cavity.

Solidification: After pouring, the molten aluminum alloy is cooled and solidified in the mold to form the shape of the mold cavity. 

Cooling and removal: After solidification, the casting is cooled to room temperature. Then open the mold and remove the casting from the mold. In some cases, additional processes such as sandblasting or machining may be required to achieve the desired surface finish or dimensional accuracy. 

Post-treatment: According to the specific requirements of the casting, post-treatment operations such as heat treatment, surface treatment, machining or assembly can be carried out to further enhance the performance or function of the casting. Aluminum alloy casting offers several advantages, including design flexibility, cost effectiveness, and the ability to produce complex shapes with tight tolerances.
