Understanding The Cooling Process in Permanent Mold Casting

In permanent mold casting, cooling is a crucial step that ensures the quality and integrity of the casting product. Once the molten metal is poured into the mold, it needs time to cool and solidify. This cooling phase is essential to achieve the desired strength and finish of the cast.

Factors Influencing Cooling

Size and Shape of the Part: Larger and more complex shapes may require longer periods to cool thoroughly compared to smaller or simpler designs.

Material Properties: Different metals have varying thermal properties, affecting how quickly they release heat and solidify.

Mold Material: The type of material used for the mold can greatly impact the cooling rate. Molds made from certain metals or composites can dissipate heat more effectively, speeding up the process.

Steps in the Cooling Process

Initial Heat Dissipation: When the metal is first poured, the outer layers begin to cool and solidify. This creates a shell, while the interior remains hot and molten.

Complete Solidification: The cooling continues until the entire part has solidified, ensuring uniformity and stability in the structure.

Controlled Mold Release: Once fully cooled, the part can be released from the mold. At this stage, care is taken to prevent deformation or damage.

Importance of Proper Cooling

Proper cooling ensures that the cast part achieves its intended physical properties, such as hardness and durability, minimizing defects and reducing the need for additional processing. The intricacies of cooling must be balanced with production efficiency to optimize the casting process.


  • Q Are you a manufacturer or a trader?

    A
    We have our own foundry ,forging factory and machinery shop located in Liaoning Province, China.
  • Q What can you do for customer?

    A
    One Stop Service
    1).Manufacturing and supply various machinery parts.
    2). Technical analysis and design 
    3).Factory audit, on-site production supervision, in-time feedback, pre-shipment quality inspection
  • Q How could you commit the product quality?

    A
    1) all our factories were ISO certified. 
    2) more than 50% of New Densen’s products were sold to worldwide top 500 companies 
    which located in North American, Western Europe, and Japan.
    3) New Densen’s QC engineers will do on-site supervision and before EX-work quality inspection. New Densen will issue inspection reports for customers’ approval before EX-work. New Densen will be responsible for its reports and every parts no matter how long sold to customers.
  • Q How long shall we get the quotation?

    A
    Processing time for inquiry: 1-3 working days.
  • Q What's the process of developing a new steel casting product?

    A
    The procedure for new project develop as below:
    1. Technical department analyze the drawings all details 
     
    2.Pattern design and manufacture
     
    3.Casting Process
     
    4.Quality Control inspect the casting parts
     
    5.Issue inspection report for customer to check quality
     
    6. After inspection report approved, Logistics Department help arrange the shipping to customer
