Hub ZL104 gravity casting
In the early stage, sand molds (low cost) can be used for small batch production
Then make cold mold (metal mold) for mass production
Some customers will directly choose the metal mold because they need the high air tightness requirements of the product.
For metal molds, only low pressure / gravity / die casting, etc
Although in general, low pressure casting is better than gravity casting
But for aircraft wheels, gravity casting should be appropriate
Of course, forging is the best process
Die casting wheel hub is too brittle
Anodizing and mechanical hardening will also be done after grinding / milling and lathe machining.
