Question

Permanent mould casting is best suited for which of the following production areas?

• A. Low-volume production of large parts with intricate features
• B. Mass production of large parts with simple geometries
• C. High-precision casting of metals with high melting points
• D. High-volume production of small, complex parts with high dimensional accuracy

Hint:

Permanent mould casting is cost-effective for high-volume runs where tight tolerances and repeatability are essential.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Permanent mould casting is an efficient method when producing a large quantity of non-ferrous metal parts with good surface finish and consistent dimensional accuracy.
This method uses reusable metal moulds (often steel) and is ideal for producing small-to-medium-sized components with complex shapes.
Due to the durable nature of the moulds, it supports high-volume manufacturing, where the cost of the moulds is offset by the number of parts produced.
