Gravity Die Casting Parts

Advantages & Strengths of Compass

1. Superior Mechanical Properties: The rapid cooling rate afforded by the metal mold produces a fine-grained, dense microstructure. This results in castings with excellent strength, hardness, and impact toughness compared to sand casting.

2. Excellent Pressure Tightness: The dense, porosity-free structure makes gravity die cast parts ideal for applications requiring leak-proof performance under pressure, such as in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

3. High Dimensional Accuracy and Surface Finish: The use of a precision machined, rigid mold ensures consistent dimensional stability and tight tolerances. The surface finish (Ra value) is significantly smoother than sand castings, reducing the need for costly secondary machining.

4. High Production Efficiency for Medium to High Volumes: While the initial mold cost is higher than sand casting, the mold can be reused thousands of times. This makes it a highly efficient and economical process for medium and large production runs.

5. Material and Cost Efficiency: The process yields low scrap rates and near-net-shape parts, leading to high material yield and reduced waste. The overall cost-per-part becomes very competitive over a production run.
