Permanent Mold Casting
|
|
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Permanent mold casting molds are less costly. | Die casting dies are costly. |
| 2 | It requires some more floor area in comparison to die casting. | It requires less floor area comparison to permanent mold casting. |
| 3 | It gives good surface finishing. | It gives very fine surface finishing. |
| 4 | It doesn’t requires skilled labour in maintenance of mold casting. | It requires skilled labour in maintenance of die casting. |
| 5 | It has high dimensional accuracies. | It has very high dimensional accuracies. |
| 6 | This is suitable for small medium sized non-ferrous. | There is a limited scope of non- ferrous alloys and it is used for small sizes of castings. |
| 7 | Production rate is good. | Production rate is very high. |
| 8 | Initial cost is high hence it is used for large production. | Initial cost is also high hence used for large production. |
| 9 | Several defects like stress, surface hardness may be produced due to surface chilling effect. | This phenomenon may also occur in this case. |
