Gravity Die Casting

Aluminium Gravity Die Casting Experts

At Sarginsons Industries Ltd, we combine advanced gravity die casting with world-leading simulation and foundry technology to produce low-porosity aluminium components for the most demanding automotive and industrial applications. From safety-critical structures to complex housings, our focus is always the same: lighter, stronger, more sustainable castings.

Where Gravity Die Casting Excels

Gravity die casting is particularly suitable where strength, wall thickness and robustness matter more than ultra-high production rates. Typical applications include:

Automotive & e-Mobility

  • Suspension and chassis components
  • Sub-frames and structural nodes
  • Steering and braking housings
  • Powertrain and e-drive housings
  • EV battery and inverter structures

Low Porosity. High Integrity. Lower Carbon.

Sarginsons is an aluminium foundry focused on castings where strength, integrity and consistency are critical.

  • Certified to IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
  • In-house X-ray, tensile and full dimensional inspection
  • Use of enhanced secondary alloys and recycled aluminium
  • Intelligent process control to minimise scrap and rework

Low Porosity. High Integrity. Lower Carbon.

By combining recycled and secondary alloys with tightly controlled processes, we help OEMs and Tier 1s lightweight components, reduce CO₂ and strengthen their supply chains.

Our Gravity Die Casting Process

Every programme is different, but the way we work is consistent and technology-led:

  • Concept & Simulation – Review CAD and load cases, then use Digital Twin Simulations to de-risk the design.

  • Tooling & Die Design – Engineer the die, gating and cooling for robust filling and solidification.

  • Die Manufacture & Prove-Out – Manufacture and optimise tools using real casting and simulation feedback.

  • Casting & Heat Treatment – Cast under controlled conditions, then heat treat to achieve specified properties.

  • Machining & Inspection – CNC machine, finish and inspect castings to drawing, with continuous feedback into future runs.


Our Gravity Die Casting Process

From first concept to fully inspected parts, our gravity die casting process combines proven foundry practice with advanced simulation for repeatable, high-integrity components.

Why Gravity Die Casting for Aluminium Components?

Gravity die casting, simply called gravity casting, uses a permanent steel or cast-iron die, using gravity rather than high pressure to cast. For aluminium, this process offers a powerful balance of mechanical performance, dimensional control and tooling cost, making it ideal for many structural and safety-critical parts.
