    Variations of Permanent Mold Process

    1. Gravity Permanent Mold Casting

    Process: In this traditional method, molten metal is poured into the mold cavity by gravity. The metal

    fills the mold under its weight, allowing for a simple and straightforward setup.

    Applications: Commonly used for casting aluminum and magnesium alloys for various components

    in the automotive and aerospace industries.

    2. Pressure Permanent Mold Casting

    Process: In this variation, molten metal is injected into the mold under pressure, helping ensure

    complete filling of the mold cavity and reducing the chances of defects.

    Applications: Used for applications requiring high precision and complex geometries, such as

    aerospace components and high-performance automotive parts.

    3. Vacuum Permanent Mold Casting

    Process: This method employs a vacuum to assist in filling the mold with molten metal. A vacuum is

    created in the mold before pouring, reducing defects.

    Applications: Ideal for casting high-quality components with intricate details, commonly used in

    aerospace and medical devices.

    4. Die Casting

    Process: A form of permanent mold casting where molten metal is injected into a mold under high

    pressure, using harder molds made from high-strength materials.

    Applications: Frequently used for mass production of small to medium-sized components in

    automotive, electronics, and consumer goods industries.

    5. Semi-Permanent Mold Casting

    Process: Molds are made from metal but can be coated with a thin layer of sand or other materials

    to improve surface finish and facilitate mold release.

    Applications: Used for casting non-ferrous metals where surface quality is important but costs need
    to be controlled, such as in some automotive applications.

    6. Centrifugal Permanent Mold Casting

    Process: This variation involves spinning the mold around an axis as molten metal is poured in,

    using centrifugal force to distribute the metal evenly.

    Applications: Commonly used for producing pipe fittings, bushings, and other cylindrical

    components.

    7. Hot Chamber Die Casting

    Process: Maintains the molten metal in a chamber at high temperature to prevent solidification, with

    metal injected into the mold using a gooseneck mechanism.

    Applications: Typically used for low melting point alloys, such as zinc and magnesium, where fast

    production rates are advantageous.
