Casting.
Precision at Scale.
Three aluminium casting processes under one roof. Gravity Die Casting for complex medium-volume components. Low Pressure Die Casting for thin-wall structural integrity. High Pressure Die Casting for high-volume precision at speed.

Process Deep-Dive
Three Processes. One Right Answer for Your Component.
Selecting the wrong aluminium casting process costs money — wrong porosity spec, wrong tooling investment, wrong unit cost. Amsol's engineering review matches your component to the right process before any commitment.

Gravity Die Casting — Rajkot Facility
♦ GDC — Gravity Die Casting
Complex Geometry. Sand Cores. Pressure-Tight Integrity.
Molten aluminium poured under gravity into a permanent steel die. Unlike HPDC, GDC allows sand cores for complex internal passages — making it ideal for pump housings, manifold blocks, and components requiring pressure-tight internal geometry.

Low Pressure Die Casting — LPDC Line
▲ LPDC — Low Pressure Die Casting
Thin-Wall Structural. T6 Heat-Treatable. Minimal Porosity.
Metal rises from a sealed furnace below through a riser tube into the die cavity — controlled, turbulence-free fill that minimises oxide inclusions and porosity. The result: castings suitable for T5/T6 heat treatment and structural automotive applications where fatigue life is critical.

Volume. Precision. Speed. The Benchmark for High-Volume Aluminium.
Molten aluminium injected at 700–1,400 bar into a hardened steel die in under 100ms. The result: components with ±0.05mm dimensional accuracy, Ra 0.8–1.6 µm surface finish, and wall thickness as thin as 1mm — produced at cycle times of 30–90 seconds per shot.

Process Flow
From Drawing to Finished Casting — 5 Steps
Every aluminium casting at Amsol follows the same disciplined process — from DFM review before tooling commitment to CMM inspection before dispatch.
01
DFM & Process Review
Drawing reviewed for draft angles, wall thickness, core requirements, machining allowances. Process recommended: GDC / LPDC / HPDC.
02
Tooling Development
Die or permanent mould machined in tool steel. Trial casting run. First article dimensions verified before serial production begins.
03
Alloy Verification & Pour
Alloy composition verified by spectrometer before pouring. Melt degassed and cleaned. Casting cycle run under controlled parameters.
04
CNC Machining
As-cast components machined to final dimensions in-house on CNC/VMC/HMC. Bores, threads, faces, and critical interfaces machined under same roof.
05
CMM Inspection & Despatch
CMM verifies all critical dimensions. Spectrometer MTC attached. X-ray porosity check on LPDC/GDC pressure castings where specified.

Process Selection
GDC vs LPDC vs HPDC — Choose the Right Process
The wrong process choice costs you money at the tooling stage or the unit cost stage. This comparison — plus Amsol's DFM engineering review — ensures the right decision before any commitment.

Choose GDC When
Complex internal passages need sand cores

Casting must be pressure-tight (pump housing, valve body)
Alloy is LM6 or LM25 (not suited to HPDC)
