Aluminium Gravity Die Castings (GDC)
Permanent mould castings made by gravity fill. Excellent mechanical properties and surface finish. Weight range: 50g to 40 kg. Alloys: LM-6, LM-9, LM-25 and more.
Akshay Castings is your trusted aluminium die casting exporter in Australia — delivering precision gravity die casting and high-pressure die casting components manufactured in Kolhapur, India, to Australian industries with quality, consistency, and speed.
The Process
Gravity die casting (GDC) is a permanent mould casting process in which molten aluminium alloy is poured into a reusable metal die under the force of gravity — without additional pressure. This technique produces high-integrity, dimensionally accurate aluminium castings with excellent mechanical strength and a superior surface finish compared to sand casting.
At Akshay Castings, our gravity die casting process begins with advanced simulation modelling using NX/UniGraphics software to optimise die design and minimise rejection rates before a single piece of metal is poured. The result is consistent, repeatable parts that meet tight international tolerances — exactly what aluminium die casting buyers in Australia demand.
We operate both vertical and horizontal automatic gravity die casting machines with hydraulic power packs, supported by diesel and oil-fired melting furnaces ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg capacity.
How We Work
From initial simulation through to finished machined components, every step of our aluminium die casting in Australia export workflow is governed by strict quality controls and advanced manufacturing technology.
Tool and die design using NX / UniGraphics software. Mould-fill simulation run before production to minimise rejection rates.
Aluminium alloys (LM-4, LM-6, LM-9, LM-25, ADC-12 and others) melted in 150–500 kg capacity furnaces at controlled temperatures.
Molten alloy poured or injected into precision metal dies. Both GDC (gravity) and HPDC (high-pressure) processes available.
CNC machining for fully finished components. VMC / HMC centres deliver tight tolerances to Australian engineering specifications.
In-house shot blasting, anodising, heat treatment, zinc plating, and powder coating for durability and finish.
ISO 9001:2015 quality inspection, packaging, and export documentation. Reliable on-time delivery to Australia.

Sectors We Serve
Our aluminium die casting in Australia export programme supports a broad spectrum of industrial sectors. From heavy mining and water infrastructure to power tools and gensets, our components are engineered to perform in demanding Australian conditions.
If you are searching for a reliable aluminium die casting exporter in Australia, Akshay Castings offers everything Australian industrial buyers need: certified quality, a broad product range, competitive pricing, and a proven track record of exporting aluminium die castings to Australia for over a decade.
Established in 2006 and located in Shiroli MIDC, Kolhapur — one of India's premier casting and engineering clusters — Akshay Castings has built its reputation as a specialist aluminium die casting manufacturer and exporter serving international markets including Australia, France, Italy, the UK, Germany, and many more.
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification is not just a badge — it underpins every process from raw material procurement through die design, casting, machining, surface treatment, and final inspection. Australian clients receive traceable, documented components that comply with the quality expectations of local OEMs, engineering firms, and industrial distributors.
Gravity die casting is the process in which molten aluminium alloy is poured into a permanent steel or iron die under gravity alone — no injection pressure is applied. This approach is ideal for producing medium to large aluminium components with:
At Akshay Castings, gravity die casting is performed on both vertical and horizontal automatic machines with hydraulic power packs. Our proprietary simulation process — run before any physical tooling is committed — identifies potential shrinkage, porosity, or fill issues and corrects them at the design stage, saving time and ensuring first-article approval with Australian customers.
The term aluminium die casting in Australia commonly refers to the procurement, supply, or use of aluminium die cast components within Australian industry. While there are domestic foundries in Australia, many Australian manufacturers and engineers choose to source aluminium die castings from India — particularly from established exporters like Akshay Castings — because of the combination of lower manufacturing costs, broad material and process capability, and rigorous quality standards.
Australian industries such as pump manufacturing, electrical motor production, construction equipment, and mining support regularly import precision aluminium castings. With the right exporter, lead times, quality levels, and landed cost can all be optimised simultaneously.
Alongside gravity die casting, Akshay Castings manufactures high pressure die castings (HPDC) — also called pressure die castings (PDC). In HPDC, molten aluminium alloy is forced into a steel die at high pressure and velocity. This process suits:
Our HPDC process uses alloys such as ADC-12, ADC-10, and LM-24, chosen for their castability, hardness, and strength characteristics. Whether you require gravity die casting or pressure die casting, Akshay Castings can advise on the optimal process for your application and volume requirements.
Unlike many casting-only suppliers, Akshay Castings offers a complete in-house manufacturing chain at our 1,200 sq. m. production facility in Kolhapur:
