Where Are Aluminum Castings Used And Utilized?

• Aluminum casting is one of the common casting
  processes which involves the liquid metal to be
  poured into a mold or form. In this casting or
  metalworking process, in place of the liquid
  metal only aluminum and other relevant alloys are
  used to be poured into the mold. Aluminum and
  investment casting in India is used to produce
  complex and intricate parts in an efficient
  manner.

The Process of Aluminum Casting

• At first, the aluminum is heated to convert into
  a liquid form and poured into a mold. It should
  be noted that the mold is made with precision as
  the quality of the same will have direct
  implications upon the shape and surface finish of
  the resulting aluminum casting.
• One can make the mold using various materials
  including tool steel, as the melting point of
  aluminum is much lower than steel. The mold can
  also be made out of sand in this casting process.
  Herein, the sand must be pressed to take shape of
  the desired finished part. As the sand is formed
  or shaped, the liquid aluminum can be poured into
  the same to allow it to be cooled. Following are
  the advantages which havemade investment casting
  manufacturers in India highly popular

• Being a lightweight metal, aluminum creates
  lightweight parts without compromising on the
  strength of the part.
• Aluminum casting parts are resistant to
  corrosion.
• It boasts an impressive electrical conductivity
  rate.
• It has a great strength-to-weight ratio.
• It can be produced in quick fashion and in a
  cost-effective manner.
• It is completely recyclable and reusable in the
  production phase.

Applications of Aluminum Casting in India

• Aerospace
• Due to its light weight properties and lack of
  difference in product strength, aluminum is
  preferred for developing different aerospace
  vehicles that can fly and escape the earths
  atmosphere owing to the light weight.
  Historically, even the Wright Brothers used
  aluminum for creating the first wood-frame
  biplane. Needless to say, aluminum is used
  extensively in the aerospace industry for various
  shuttles and structures.
• Beverage
• Beverage cans are one of the longstanding markets
  where aluminum has dominated for years and will
  continue to do so in the near future. Its
  printable surface area, recyclability, and
  conductivity make it an attractive choice in the
  market. It also helps protect the taste and
  flavor of the product from any oxygen, light, or
  any contaminants due to its seal-packed nature.

Construction and Architecture

• It isnt surprising to notice how power grids and
  electrical transmission lines have shifted their
  preference to aluminum rather than using copper
  as the base. This is primarily due to high
  conductivity and light weight nature of aluminum.
  It used in large glass panes to handle its weight
  as strong frames.

Home Appliances

• In our daily life, we stumble upon various home
  appliances which are formed from the aluminum
  casting process. Its thermal properties make
  aluminum a highly popular and ideal choice for
  refrigeration of applications. Whereas, the light
  weight of the same makes sure that the appliances
  can be moved and placed with ease and comfort. In
  fact, in the digital arena, aluminum is used for
  creating various applications. Single blocks of
  aluminum are used to create the aluminum laptops
  produced by Apple. Flat screen television sets
  use aluminum as well for its light weight
  properties which make it easy to hang on the wall
  or somewhere else.
• Apart from these, aluminum is widely used for
  other applications as well. Car makers use
  aluminum for environmental reasons. It is also
  preferred in the recycling industry due to its
  reusability nature, especially beverage cans and
  automobile parts. Aluminum is even used for
  cleaning purposes nowadays. Needless to say, the
  number of use cases of investment castings in
  India are diverse and wide-ranging and it will
  continue to be used in other sectors as well due
  to its various advantages.
