Aluminium Casting
Aluminium Casting can be carried out via High Pressure, Gravity or Sand Casting Methods.
High Pressure Aluminium Casting
High Pressure Aluminium Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten aluminium alloy is injected under force using into a hardened steel mould or die to form products.
High Pressure Aluminium Casting production is fast and inexpensive relative to other casting processes, but does require considerable investment in initial tooling, so is best suited to higher volume requirements. MRT have High Pressure Aluminium Casting machines with locking forces of between 220 and 530 tonnes. We can help you produce high or low quantity aluminium castings.
Gravity Aluminium Casting
Gravity Aluminium Casting uses only the force of gravity, instead of high pressure injection means, to fill a permanent mould, or die, with molten aluminium alloy.
Gravity Aluminium Casting is a technique that includes rapid chilling, giving excellent mechanical properties. Non-turbulent filling ensures production of heat treatable gravity castings with minimal porosity. MRT have a range of microprocessor controlled hydraulic gravity aluminium casting machines, which mechanise movements of the die, increasing production rates, and improving consistency.
Sand Aluminium Casting
Sand Aluminium Casting offers many advantages it is the simplest medium of production, has low tooling costs and can produce complex shaped aluminium casting requiring intricate cores.
Our expertise can help you optimise designs, eliminating elements which add unnecessary costs to your aluminium casting. Thus we provide the benefits of automated production of aluminium casting without high-cost tooling.
