Static Pour Permanent Mold Castings
Permanent Mold Castings are
separated into two major categories of production: Tilt
Pour and Static Pour.
The Static Pour process is
the process in which molten metal is poured directly
into the mold cavity. The metal is allowed to solidify
in a stationary position. Gravity forces the metal into
the mold where it is allotted a set amount of time to
solidify before the mold is opened and the casting is
removed. The Static Pour process normally has a
center-feed pouring method. A center-feed pouring method
results when the molten metal is pour directly into the
mold from the top, through the gating or a sprue system.
This method of Permanent Mold Casting allows for all of
the above characteristic, but the main benefit of such a
process is the wide range of sizes that can be cast in
this format. The size of the parts can range in weight
from quite small to very large
