Molding Process Selection
Permanent Mold
The permanent mold process produces castings with excellent surface finish, fine grain structure for superior strength characteristics and near net shape. It also produces very high density castings that are pressure tight and have excellent structural characteristics. Parts are cast repeatably from the same cast iron mold.
Permanent molding also has the capability to cast parts such as studs, nuts, bushings, pipes and other integral parts. Parts range in size from .5 lbs to 75 lbs and molds can be multi-cavity for efficient production. A mold typically lasts the life of the product.
