Hot-Chamber Die Casting

-metal is forced into the mold and pressure is maintained during solidification.
- low melting alloys are generally used in this process.

Cold-Chamber Die Casting

- metal is melted separately unlike in hotchamber die casting.

- high melting alloys are generally used.

Hot-chamber die casting:

Cold-chamber die casting:

2. Low-pressure permanent-mold casting

- Uses gas pressure to fill the mold.

3. Gravity or permanent mold casting

- Utilizes a permanent mold made of metal or graphite

-Resembles both gravity and the slush casting. -Developed in France by Corthias.

A method of casting parts having axial symmetry Done by pouring the molten metal into a rotating mold. Mold rotation is continued until the metal solidified

Is used to produce hollow castings with a round hole. Characteristic feature is that hole is produced by centrifugal force alone. Mold is rotated about the axis held horizontal, inclined, or vertical. Outside surface of the job may be round, square, etc., as long as it is symmetrical to the whole axis. Speed of rotation should be high enough to hold the metal on to the mold.

Similar to TCC casting, but Only with a difference that a

central core is used to produce

holes. Generally used for articles which are more complicated than those possible in TCS.

Is employed to force metal under pressure into molds of non-symmetrical small castings having intricate details. Metal is poured along the axis of rotation through a central sprue, and made to flow into mold cavities through radial ingates.

Is a process used to cast continuous length of metal, such as in piping or tubing.

1. Molten metal is delivered to the casting equipment. 2. It then flows from a tundish into the mold. 3. The molten metal cools and partially solidifies thru the water-cooled mold. 4. The section is supported and guided below the mold by opposed rollers that contact the cast section. 5. The opposed rollers withdraw the solid cast section to a station where it is cut to desired length.
