Aluminum Casting Process Options

Different aluminum casting processes involve different tooling costs, production volumes, filling methods, surface quality and part-design capabilities. We evaluate each project before recommending sand casting, gravity die casting, low-pressure casting or high-pressure die casting.

Aluminum Sand Casting

  • Low tooling investment
  • Suitable for prototypes, new product development and small batches
  • Flexible for large or complex casting shapes
  • Rougher surface finish than metal mold casting
  • Greater risk of porosity and dimensional variation

A practical choice for prototype development, low-volume orders and projects where tooling cost needs to be controlled.

Gravity Die Casting

  • Suitable for repeat and batch production
  • Controlled mold tilting allows molten aluminum to fill the cavity gradually
  • Good surface finish and dimensional stability
  • Better pressure tightness than sand casting
  • Higher tooling cost and less suitable for prototypes or frequent design changes

Our main process for repeat production of aluminum housings, covers, pump components and other industrial castings requiring stable dimensions and good surface quality.

Low-Pressure Aluminum Casting

  • Controlled bottom-up filling through a riser tube
  • Reduced turbulence and improved feeding during solidification
  • Better casting density and pressure tightness
  • Suitable for large, complex and performance-critical castings
  • Best suited to medium and large production volumes

Recommended for larger castings, housings and components requiring improved internal quality, stable mold filling and better pressure tightness.

High-Pressure Die Casting

  • Suitable for thin-wall and high-volume components
  • Very short production cycles
  • Good surface finish and dimensional repeatability
  • Commonly produced with ADC12 and other die-casting alloys
  • Higher tooling investment
  • Not suitable for parts requiring high pressure tightness or T6 heat treatment

Best suited to high-volume components with thin walls, complex external geometry and stable product designs.

Final process selection depends on part geometry, annual quantity, alloy, mechanical requirements, dimensional tolerances, pressure-tightness requirements, heat-treatment requirements, surface finish and tooling budget.

Not Sure Which Aluminum Casting Process to Choose?

The appropriate aluminum casting process depends on part size, wall thickness, internal cavities, annual quantity, pressure-tightness requirements, heat-treatment requirements, surface finish, dimensional tolerance and tooling budget.

Send us your drawing, 3D file or sample, and we will evaluate the part structure before recommending sand casting, gravity die casting, low-pressure casting or high-pressure die casting.

Custom Tooling and Mold Management

Depending on the part structure, dedicated metal molds, core boxes and sand cores are developed to form external geometry, internal cavities and flow passages.

Tooling Support for Stable Repeat Production

Tooling design considers casting shrinkage, draft angles, machining allowances, core positioning and expected production quantity.

Tooling is identified, stored and maintained for repeat orders. Before each production run, molds and related tooling are checked and prepared to support dimensional consistency and stable production.

  • Custom molds and core boxes
  • Sand cores for internal cavities
  • Tooling storage and repeat-order support

Machining, Heat Treatment and Surface Finishing

Aluminum castings can be supplied as raw castings or with secondary processing according to dimensional, mechanical, corrosion-resistance and appearance requirements. Available services include CNC machining, suitable heat-treatment processes, surface preparation, coating and dimensional inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminum Casting

Which aluminum casting process should I choose?

The suitable process depends on part geometry, internal cavities, wall thickness, required quantity, surface finish, dimensional tolerance, pressure-tightness requirements and tooling budget. Sand casting is often selected for prototypes and small batches, gravity die casting for stable repeat production, low-pressure casting for larger or pressure-tight parts, and high-pressure die casting for high-volume thin-wall components.

We work with aluminum casting alloys suitable for sand casting, gravity die casting, low-pressure casting and high-pressure die casting. Common grades include ZL101, ZL101A, ZL102, ZL104, ZL105, ZL106, ZL108, A356, A357, ADC10, ADC12, A380, A383, YL104 and YL113. Customer-specified grades can also be evaluated.

Yes. We can evaluate an existing sample, worn part, clear photographs or available dimensional information. For accurate tooling development and repeat production, a complete drawing or 3D file is preferred whenever available.

Yes. Aluminum castings can be supplied as raw castings or completed with CNC milling, turning, drilling, tapping and machining of bores, sealing surfaces and mounting features. Machining allowances and datum positions are reviewed during tooling development.

T5 or T6 heat treatment may be available depending on the selected alloy and casting process. T6 treatment is commonly used for suitable sand, gravity and low-pressure cast alloys, but is generally not recommended for conventional high-pressure die castings because internal gas porosity may cause blistering during heat treatment.

The suitable order quantity depends on the casting process, part size and tooling cost. Sand casting is more suitable for prototypes and small batches, while gravity, low-pressure and high-pressure die casting become more economical as production quantity increases. We evaluate each project individually.

Yes. Material certificates, dimensional inspection records, hardness results, mechanical-property testing and other inspection documentation can be arranged according to drawing requirements and order specifications.
