Metallgjutning

Gjutning av metall innebär att en vanligtvis fast metall upphettas till smält tillstånd. Smältan hälls eller trycks därefter i en engångsform som skapas inför varje gjuttillfälle alternativt en permanent form som kan återanvändas flera gånger.
Efter att smältan stelnat så avlägsnas formen för att frilägga den färdiga detaljen.

Automatic line casting

Process Forming process where mold halves are stacked above each other to form a series of intermediate molds.

Centrifugal form casting

Process Forming process which uses centrifugal force to feed the melt into two or more molds.

Cold chamber die casting

Process Forming process where a piston presses the molten metal into a pressure-loaded casting chamber, which retains the pressure until the metal has solidified.

Continuous casting

Process Forming process where vigorous water cooling creates a continuous cast strand of metal, which then trimmed using oxygen.

Direct mold casting

Process Forming process where a melt is passed through and solidified between two or more water-cooled rollers.

Gypsum forming

Process Casting process using a disposable plaster mold.

Indirect melt press casting

Process Forming process where the desired item is obtained by the melt is subjected to a constant pressure throughout the solidification process.
