Permanent Mold Casting

With an engineered tool steel mold, Custom Castings utilize gravity and tilt pour permanent as well as semi permament mold processes.

After working with you to ensure optimal engineering, our custom casting products undergo a three step process:

  1. The molten aluminum is poured into a permanent mold.
  2. Once solidified, the mold is opened and the casting is removed.
  3.  The mold’s runners are removed and the casting is sanded or machined to your specifications.

Pouring Methods

Tilt-Pour - Gentle controlled filling of the mold, reduces casting defects
Static Pour - Greater flexibility for casting geometry

Casting Options

Sand Cores - Greater flexibility for internal cavities
Cast Inserts - Casting integrated with another material

The following charts provide an at-a-glance comparison between permanent mold casting pouring methods and casting options.
