Gravity Die Casting - Automotive Components

Gravity die casting is one of the standard processes for the manufacture of high-integrity
automotive castings. It represents proven and absolute precision technology for the
production of large batch quantities. This process is used in carousel casting units or in
shuttle technique particularly for the manufacture of engine castings.

Optimum heat dissipation from the solidifying casting through the die leads to short
solidification times. This results in castings which have good mechanical properties,
especially after an additional heat treatment.


In addition to producing ever more complicated cylinder heads for petrol and diesel engines,
gravity die casting is also used for the manufacture of diesel engine blocks with cast-in grey
iron liners
