Low Pressure Casting Process
What is Low Pressure Casting Process?
In the low pressure casting procedure, the liquid metal is moved into the mold through a riser pipe using an applied gas pressure. The filling is performed with a laminar form obtaining a high density and excellent mechanical properties.
The low pressure casting procedure is very suitable for the production of high quality aluminum wheels sold to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market and for the automotive aftermarket.
Consulting and Technical Services
LMC Technology offers:
Innovative casting process, with the purpose to eliminate oxides and inclusions within the castings, by modifying the filling procedure in vertical casting methods.
Modified low pressure casting procedure, which applies different types of pressure during the feeding and solidification process in order to produce lighter and stronger aluminum parts. This procedure has shown to work especially well for casting designs with varying wall thickness.
