    Pressurized gating systems are used for complex parts with intricate geometries, thin sections, and high-pressure casting processes like die casting to ensure complete filling of the mold cavity. Unpressurized systems are suitable for gravity casting and some low-pressure processes where the force of gravity or controlled flow is enough to fill the mold, and are advantageous for simple, robust castings.

    ➢ When to use pressurized /unpressurized gating system?

    ❖ Pressurized Gating System:


    ✓ Complex Parts:
    • Pressurized gating systems are often used for casting complex parts with intricate
    geometries or thin sections. The application of pressure helps to ensure that the molten
    metal reaches all areas of the mold cavity, minimizing the risk of incomplete filling or the
    formation of defects.

    ✓ High-Pressure Casting Processes:


    • Casting processes such as high-pressure die casting or squeeze casting, which involve
    injecting molten metal into the Mold under high pressure, typically require a pressurized
    gating system. The pressure assists in driving the metal into the cavity quickly and
    uniformly.

    ✓ Thin-Walled Castings:
    • When casting thin-walled components, a pressurized gating system can help prevent the
    formation of defects like cold shuts or porosity. The pressure aids in maintaining a
    consistent flow and filling the Mold completely.

    ❖ Unpressurized Gating System:


    ✓ Gravity Casting:
    • In gravity casting processes, where molten metal is poured into the Mold using gravity
    alone, an unpressurized gating system is commonly employed. The force of gravity is
    sufficient to fill the Mold, and the simplicity of an unpressurized system can be
    advantageous for certain casting applications.

    ✓ Low-Pressure Casting:
    • Some casting methods, like low-pressure die casting or permanent Mold casting, utilize
    low-pressure systems where pressure is not applied to the molten metal. These processes
    typically rely on the controlled flow of metal through the gating system and the use of
    gating and riser designs to achieve proper Mold filling.

    ✓ Simple and Robust Castings:


    • For castings that have straightforward geometries, thicker sections, or do not require strict
    control over metal flow, an unpressurized gating system may be sufficient. It can be a cost-
    effective and reliable choice for such applications.
