Gravity Die Caster

Join a leading aluminium foundry during an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation!

At Quality Castings we produce both Gravity Die and also high precision Sand mould castings from our main site in Bury St Edmunds.

What is a Diecaster:

Apart from the method by which the molten metal is poured into the die cavity, and the gravity die material, the casting process is essentially the same as sand casting. It involves four steps:

• The die is heated and then sprayed with a refractory coating, and closed. The coating both helps control the temperature of the die during manufacture and it also assists in the removal of the casting.
• Molten metal is then manually poured into the die, and allowed to solidify.
• The die is then opened and the cast parts either removed by hand or in some cases ejector pins are used on the mechanised machines.
• Finally, the scrap, which includes the gate, runners, sprues and flash, is removed from the casting(s). The castings are then processed to remove sharp edges and excess material, then blast cleaned (if required) prior to despatch to the customer.
