Differences and technological advantages between gravity casting mold and other molds

In the narrow and broad sense, which one of gravity casting contains more species? What are the specific differences between gravity casting mold and die casting mold? And what are the specific advantages of metal mold gravity casting in technology? These questions are all about gravity casting. At the same time, we must know and master them. Therefore, let's give the correct answers right away.

1. Which of the narrow and broad definitions of gravity casting contains more species?

In terms of their definition, if it is narrow, there is only metal mold casting, while in a broad sense, there are metal mold and sand mold casting, as well as investment casting, mud mold casting and EPC. Therefore, it is obvious that gravity casting contains more kinds in a broad sense.

2. Difference between gravity casting mould and die casting mould

Difference 1: there are some restrictions on die-casting molds, such as die-casting principle and mold materials, but not on gravity casting molds.

Difference 2: the die-casting mold needs some auxiliary tools or equipment in the process of use, but not for the gravity casting mold.

Difference 3: gravity casting molds are mostly sand molds, while die-casting molds are mainly metals with high melting point.

3. Advantages of metal mold gravity casting process

The main advantages of metal mold gravity casting process are as follows:

Under the same production scale, the use of metal mold gravity casting process can have lower investment cost and obtain high economic benefits. In addition, the quality of the mold is low, stable and reliable. Moreover, the quality of cast products is relatively good. In terms of system flexibility, it also has a good performance, and can facilitate coordination to meet the process requirements.
