Aluminum casting, as its name implies, is a type of metalworking process of aluminum alloys, that creats aluminum parts by pouring ofliquid metal into mold. Similar to stainless steel casting, aluminum casting only uses aluminum alloys as the liquid metal. Aluminum casting is an efficient manufacturing process make complex and detailed aluminum parts that are unavailable by aluminum forging or machining. Aluminum casting process starts from the heating of aluminum alloys to its liquid form, then poured into a mold…

What is Casting? The Concept of Casting Production Casting is a method of making workpieces by melting metal, pouring liquid metal into the cavity of a mold with the shape and size of the casting, after the metal solidifies in the mold, casting with the same shape is obtained like the heart of a mold. What is Investment Casting? Investment casting begins with the manufacture of a prototype (model) of a future casting from wax by injection into a mold or…

Investment casting, uses a lost wax process to create complex products with exceptionally better surfaces than sand casting process. With thousands of years’ history, it has been the most precision casting technique favored by bicycle manufacturers. In investment casting, the liquid material is allowed to be solified into its final shape while it’s hot and slowly cools in the mold. It is a copying process that can creat thousands or even ten thousands of pieces. Typical bicycle frame building parts…

A dough hook is a mixer attachment which consists of a single hook which turns and folds the dough in the mixing bowl. The Dough Hook is used for kneading yeast dough such as: bread, coffeecakes, pizza dough, buns, pasta dough. Made from cast aluminum, the dough hook easily kneads bread and other dough with an absorption ratio greater than 50% on low and medium speeds. Installation is as easy as can be by raising it onto the mixing axle…

Aluminum alloy has good casting property. Due to the low melting point (pure aluminum melting point 660.230C, aluminum alloy pouring temperature is about 730 ~ 750oC), it can be widely used in casting methods such as gravity die casting and high pressure die casting, which will improve the inner quality of casting, dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness and production efficiency. Due to the large latent heat of solidification of aluminum alloy, under the same weight condition, the solidification process time…
