Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Handle Hardware vs Gravity Casting

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Handle Hardware vs Gravity Casting. Casting is a process done by manufacturers where molten material whether metal or plastic, is placed into a mold. It is then allowed to harden in the mold itself. After some time, it is taken out or broken out to make the fabricated parts. This process is used for creating parts of intricate shape that is too tedious to be done by other methods, like cutting from solid material. Can you imagine hard this can be in making products such as handle hardware? But there are various casting processes such as pressure die casting and gravity casting. Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Handle Hardware vs Gravity Casting is a concept we can all look into.

Gravity Casting makes use of the gravity as part of the process. Or in other words, it makes use of the weight of the metal. It is used to fill the cavity which creates a metal part. The advantage of using this process is it does not need to make use of an expensive die casting machine. The tooling cost is less for gravity casting because it need not apply higher pressures to create the parts compared to pressure die casting which uses high pressure injection systems. So there you have it, gravity casting has the edge over pressure die casting in making handle hardware, although it all depends on your desired finished product.
