Aluminum casting processes mainly include gravity casting, pressure casting, low pressure casting, centrifugal casting, etc. These processes can produce castings with complex structures and accurate size when processing aluminum and aluminum alloy materials. Gravity casting relies on the gravity of the liquid metal to fill the mold cavity and is suitable for the production of large castings; pressure casting uses high pressure to quickly press the liquid metal into the mold cavity, which is suitable for the production of small complex castings in large quantities; low pressure casting fills the liquid metal with lower pressure. The cavity, the casting organization is dense; centrifugal casting uses centrifugal force to distribute the liquid metal evenly, which is suitable for the production of tubular or annular castings.
Aluminum casting has a wide range of applications, covering automotive, aviation, electronics, construction and other industries. In the automotive industry, aluminum castings are used in key components such as engines, gearboxes, and suspension systems to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. In the aviation field, aluminum alloy castings are used to manufacture aircraft fuselages, ribs and other parts due to their light weight and high strength characteristics. In the electronics industry, aluminum castings are used to make radiators, shells, etc. to improve product heat dissipation performance. In the construction industry, the application of aluminum alloy templates, scaffolds, etc. has improved construction efficiency and safety. With the continuous advancement of technology, the application of aluminum casting technology in new energy, precision manufacturing and other fields will be further expanded.
