Aluminum casting is a process in which molten aluminum or aluminum alloy is injected into a mold, cooled and solidified to form an aluminum product of the required shape and size. Its working principle is based on the physical characteristics of aluminum metal, that is, when heated to a melting point (about 660°C), it becomes liquid for ease of pouring; after cooling, it solidifies and forms to maintain the shape given by the mold.
The structural characteristics of aluminum casting are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
The aluminum casting process is flexible and suitable for producing aluminum products of various shapes and size. From aluminum pots and basins in daily life to aircraft and auto parts in industry, aluminum casting plays an important role.
The aluminum casting process has high production efficiency. Through reasonable mold design and casting parameter setting, mass production can be achieved to meet the needs of industrial production.
Aluminum cast products have excellent mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance and light weight. Aluminum alloys have low density and high strength, making the cast aluminum products light and durable. At the same time, aluminum alloys also have good thermal stability and machining properties, making it convenient for subsequent processing and processing.
The aluminum casting process also focuses on environmental protection and sustainability. Aluminum alloys are easy to recycle and recycle, which is in line with the current development trend of green manufacturing.
To sum up, aluminum casting occupies an important position in industrial production due to its flexible and changeable process, efficient productivity, excellent product performance and environmental sustainability. Through continuous improvement and innovation, the aluminum casting process will continue to provide strong support for the development of various industries.
