A beautiful video showing automated robot arm pouring molten metal into a Permanent Mold Gravity Casting Die. Thank you for posting such instructive videos ! Such automation is needed today in order to cut manufacturing costs and be competitive on a global scale, to reduce mistakes, injuries to workers and to increase overall quality. Permanent mold casting is a metal casting process that employs reusable molds, also known as permanent molds made from metal (other mold materials may be used too such as graphite for iron and steel casting). The most common process uses gravity to fill the mold, however gas pressure or a vacuum are also frequently used. ... Casting metals many be aluminum, magnesium, copper alloys. Permanent mold casting is a process that shares similarities to both sand casting and die casting. As in sand casting, molten metal is poured into a mold which is clamped shut until the material cools and solidifies into the desired part shape. On the other hand, sand casting uses an expendable mold which is broken and destroyed after each casting cycle. Permanent mold casting however, as in die casting, uses a metal die that is typically made from steel or cast iron and can be reused for producing thousands of parts. Because the molten metal is poured into the die cavity and not forcibly injected, permanent mold casting is referred also as gravity die casting. Major difference between permanent mold and die casting is that permanent mold is a gravity feed process whereas die casting uses pressurized injection of melt metal into the die. As in die casting, generally you will need a few weeks to months for the die (mold) to be manufactured and usually and upfront die fee payment is required by most manufacturers. Once the die is made however, parts can be produced fast. Permanent mold casting is typically used for high volume production of at least a thousand or thousands of small, simple metal parts having uniform wall thicknesses. Non-ferrous metals are typically used in the process, including aluminum, magnesium or copper alloys. However, iron and steel can also be cast using graphite permanent molds. Common permanent mold parts include metal housings, pipe fittings, automotive components such as pistons, impellers, gears and wheels. Variations on permanent mold casting have been developed to accommodate specific applications, which include the following: - Low Pressure Permanent Mold Casting: Instead of being poured, molten metal is forced into the mold by low pressure air. The application of pressure allows the mold to remain filled and reduces shrinkage during cooling. Also, finer details and thinner walls can be molded. - Vacuum Permanent Mold Casting: Similar to low pressure casting, but suction by vacuum is used to fill the mold. As a result, finer details and thin walls can be molded and the mechanical properties of the castings are improved. - Slush Casting: As in permanent mold casting, molten metal is poured into the mold and begins to solidify on cavity surfaces. When the amount of solidified material is sufficient to produce the desired wall thickness, the remaining slush (material that has not completely solidified) is poured out of the mold. As a result, slush casting is used to produce hollow parts without the use of cores. Part weights between 2 oz - 660 lb are typical, surface finishes Ra between 125 - 250 Microinch are typical, tolerances of +/- 0.015 inch are typical, typical maximum wall thicknesses obtained are 0.08 - 2 inch.
