Reduce casting scrap rate and customer return rate

Improve as-cast surface finish

Improve casting machinability and reduce tool wear

Highly optimized runner system to increase output

Multiple standard sizes

Although aluminum is used for various purposes in this way, pure aluminum is a soft metal, so it is generally an aluminum alloy that contains other metals (copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, zinc, etc.) to increase its strength. Often used as.

The melting point of aluminum depends on its purity

The melting temperature of 99,996% ultra-pure aluminum: 660,37°C.

When the aluminum content is 99.5%, it starts to melt at 657°C.

When the aluminum content is 99.0%, it starts to melt at 643 °C.

Aluminum smelting

Adding other elements to aluminum, including alloying, will lower its melting temperature, or more precisely-begin to melt. Therefore, the melting start temperature of some cast aluminum alloys with high content of silicon and magnesium is reduced to almost 500°C. Fundamentally, the term “melting temperature” only applies to pure metals and other crystalline substances. On the other hand, alloys do not have a specific melting point: their melting (and solidification) process occurs within a certain temperature range.

Aluminum alloy casting

For aluminum alloy heated to liquid temperature, you can perform casting operations at that temperature and use various types of melting furnaces. The heat energy required to heat the metal to the liquid temperature, at which the metal can be poured into the mold, and it consists of the sum of the following components:

1. Heating to raise the temperature of the metal to the melting point

2. The heat of fusion transforms the metal from solid to liquid

3. Heat to heat the molten metal to the predetermined casting temperature

4. Casting temperature-the temperature of the molten metal at which it is poured into the mold. An important factor here is the temperature difference between the casting temperature and the beginning of solidification. This temperature is the melting point (point) of pure aluminum or the liquidus temperature of aluminum alloy. This temperature difference is sometimes referred to as overheating. The term can also be applied to heat, which must be away from the liquid metal between the casting and the beginning of solidification.
