Permanent Mold Castings
The Permanent
Mold Casting Process is a molding procedure that
incorporates gravity-induced pressure with rapid
solidification to produce both aesthetically pleasing
and fully functional castings that have the ability
for large volumes of production.
Some of the Advantages of using
the Permanent Mold Casting Process over the Sand
Casting method are:
-
Able to
produce complex shapes and designs
-
Finer
grain structure
-
Better
mechanical properties including strength of casting
-
Able
to achieve a higher as-cast surface finish over the
sand casting process
-
High
volume production runs
-
Precise
and consistent control over dimensional attributes
-
Increased
repeatability of casting
-
High
quality of surface finish on as-cast products
-
Improved
definition and detail within parts
-
Ability
to design thinner wall thicknesses
-
Competitively
priced casting production
The Permanent
Mold Casting Process consists of pouring molten metal
into a permanent mold, usually created from iron or
steel. The metal flows into the mould cavity under
gravity pressure; flowing into the small crevices of
the mold to produce intricate and fully formed
castings.
At Ramsden
Industries, we have adapted the process of Permanent
Mold Castings in our production procedure to produce
castings that suit the wide variety of needs and wants
of our customers. Through continuous research and
years of molding experience, we are able to use the
most current and up-to-date methods of Permanent Mold
Casting to be recognized as one of the leading
producers of Permanent Mold Aluminum Castings. By
creating and designing our own tooling in our sister
company, Proto Mould, we are able to utilize and
incorporate the newest ideas and innovations into our
direct practice.
By staying current with industry
standards and research we are able to understand the
fundamentals of creating the most effective and
efficient Permanent Mold Castings processes. For
example, by improving the gating of our molds we have
been able to produce castings that have higher casting
yield with lower scrap rates and lower rates of
defects. Our ongoing efforts to continuously improve
the quality of our product have greatly benefited our
strong customer base.
At Ramsden Industries
the customer becomes part
of the team as our design, engineering, sales and
quality departments actively encourage a close
interaction to achieve the optimum casting
result. As a manufacturer
of high quality aluminum permanent mold castings,
Ramsden Industries supports all activities.
