Tilt Die Casting
GRAVITY DIE CASTING
TILT DIE CASTINGS
Tilt Die Casting process is the pouring of molten aluminum into a mold by tilting the mold to fill it in a controlled fashion.The tilting towards the pouring side results in a low feed rate in the gate, helping to reduce oxide and foam formation, and the liquid metal can flow into the mold cavity smoothly and with low turbulence.
In traditional tilt-pouring the mold parting line is perpendicular to the floor during the solidification phase, while in reverse tilting the parting line is parallel to the floor. Turning the parting line allows the casting to be center-fed similar to the way a casting is produced in the low-pressure process.
ADVANTAGES
TILT CASTING
- By using tilt casting during gravity mold filling, manufacturers minimize waste. A high percentage of molten material will flow into the mold cavity. Additionally, the reduction in turbulence minimizes problems associate with trapped air bubbles, which may degrade the quality of a casting. Both factors result in a better “yields” for the manufacturer.
- Compared with some vacuum casting methods, gravity casting tends to offer significantly lower mold costs. This “low tech” process enables the mass production of metal parts in high volumes. The durable molds eventually wear out, but permit reuse.
- Automation allows the precise replication of tilt casting processes. This capability enables manufacturers to repeat mold-filling efficiently.
- The ability to generate uniform metal parts with few interior defects makes this manufacturing technology exceedingly valuable. This casting method produces metal components with generally good surface finishes, also, due to the manufacturer’s ability to reduce turbulence during pouring.
- Especially when produced using automation, castings generated through gravity tilt filling offer greater uniformity in terms of metal flow direction. The fast solidification of complex cast metal shapes and the overall homogeneity of the castings .
