But what exactly is Permold? And where did it come from?

Actually, the definition is quite simple. The Permold process, also known as Gravity-Die Casting, produces large number of castings via a non-destructible, metal mold. Specifically, molten metal is poured into a passageway leading to the part cavity whereupon solidifying, it is ejected from the Permold.

In regards to origin, Permold has a very ancient history. Indeed since primitive times, man has found the need to make tools, weapons, and art from indestructible molds so they could be used repeatedly. Perhaps the earliest known example of Permold dates back to 2250 BC where Mesopotamians were using stone molds to mass produce tools and utensils in bronze.

In any case, our Permold process is quite simple and intuitive as illustrated below. Thus, production can be tightly controlled to ensure high-quality castings in every shipment.

1. Molten aluminum is poured into the mold.
2. Aluminum is allowed to solidify.
3. Mold is opened.
4. Casting is removed.
5. Hot inspection is performed to ensure defect-free castings.
6. Gates and risers are trimmed.
7. 100% final visual inspection prior to packaging.
