With decades of experience in the gravity casting industry, XS's gravity casting services can meet customers' needs for mass production of low-cost castings. Our factory is capable of handling custom gravity castings with simple or complex shapes, allowing for endless possibilities in gravity casting. Once you choose us, our engineers will first understand your requirements, select a gravity casting design suitable for the application, and clarify the shape, size, specifications, tolerances, and all details of the gravity casting before production. We have skilled operators in the workshop who perform each operation in the correct manner to ensure that the products meet or exceed international standards and customer expectations. Through the fast and efficient gravity casting process, we can obtain cast products that are strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant.

Benefits of the Gravity Casting Process

  • Can produce large-sized parts
  • Can form complex shapes
  • Results in high-strength parts
  • Offers excellent surface finish and precision
  • Ensures high productivity
  • Gravity casting is particularly effective when processing aluminum and other light alloys
  • One of the most common applications of gravity casting is with permanent molds
  • Gravity casting is used in permanent mold processes with satisfactory results
  • While relying on gravity requires patience, this is especially true for large-sized products
  • Corrosion-resistant, pressure-resistant, and durable, suitable for heating systems with different water qualities
  • Simplifies heat transfer resistance and tube expansion composite processes, improving the overall heat dissipation performance of heating systems
  • Boasts excellent thermal performance and high metal thermal strength
  • Avoids walls that block heat dissipation and air flow, achieving optimal heat dissipation efficiency
  • Allows for free assembly with flexible configuration and easy installation
  • Features a simple, elegant, and sleek design, which can harmoniously coexist with die casting, ensuring reliable performance

Different Types of Production Equipment for Gravity Casting

Strictly speaking, casting machinery and equipment refers to machines that use this technology to melt metal into a liquid that meets certain requirements and pour it into a mold. After cooling, solidification, and cleaning, castings with predetermined shapes, sizes, and properties are obtained. On the other hand, mechanical equipment related to casting can also be classified as casting equipment.

XS Gravity Casting Cases
