Gravity Die Casting in Australia
Alliance Connect produces high-quality gravity die casting throughout Australia and New Zealand. Give us a call.
We have a team of experienced metallurgists that assist you from start to finish.
Gravity Die Casting Process
Alliance Connect performs gravity die casting for non-ferrous alloy parts like aluminium, zinc and copper. With over 60 years in the metallurgical industry, we have become experts in the process.
Key stages of gravity die casting:
- The heated mould is coated with a die release agent
- Molten metal is then poured to allow the material to fill all the extremities of the mould cavity
- When the part has cooled sufficiently, the die is opened

Benefits of Gravity Die Casting
Alliance Connect uses various gravity stationary and tilt gravity casting stations. Gravity die casting has a multitude of benefits, including:
- The creation of large-scale castings – up to 30kg casting capacity
- Ideal for small and larger products
- Heat treatable alloys allowing greater mechanical properties
- Capacity to produce gravity die castings for medium to high volume requirements
- Ideally suited for low production volumes at the lower upfront capital cost
- Ideally suited for converting an existing sand cast product which is increasing in production volume resulting in unit per part price savings
- Sliding core or disposable sand core can be incorporated into the tooling to produce castings with undercuts
Improved mechanical properties compared to sand casting
