The vacuum differential-pressure casting (VDPC)technol ogy for thin-wall ed Al alloy was introduced. The technology has the features of simplified device
stable and adjustable mold filling
good mold filling ability and high castin g quality. The deepened study on the technology was conducted and the basic prin ciple of the technology was expounded. The results showed the VDPC suitable for product of thin-walled casting has good linear relation of filling pressure wit h time and excellent mold filling ability as compared with conventional gravity c asting and vacuum suction casting.
