Built for thicker sections and lower volumes
- Gravity die casting in aluminium and zinc
- Castings up to 20kg finished weight
- Suited to thicker-section parts than HPDC allows
- Full batch traceability from ingot to finished part
- In-house CNC machining to take parts to a finished state
Gravity die casting pours molten aluminium or zinc into a permanent steel mould under the natural force of gravity alone, rather than injecting it under pressure. That gentler fill makes it well suited to parts with thicker walls and sections, and to production runs where the tooling cost of HPDC isn't justified.
As with our HPDC work, our own CNC shop is on hand to machine gravity castings to a finished, assembly-ready state without leaving the building, and every batch carries full traceability from ingot through to dispatch.
Gravity Castings We've Produced
How a gravity casting project runs
Design review
We check the part for castability and suggest changes that keep cost and quality in balance.
Tooling
Moulds are designed and built in-house, matched to the part's geometry and section thickness.
Casting
Gravity casting with full batch traceability from ingot to finished part.
Machining & QC
CNC machining, pressure testing and inspection bring the part to spec.
Where gravity castings end up
Quality You Can Rely On
Full batch traceability and barcode-scanned route cards, backed by a robust system built for the paper trail hazardous castings require — all under ISO 9001 certification.
