✓ 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.
✓ 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.
