High Pressure Casting

High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is a versatile manufacturing method for producing various product forms. The process forces molten metal at high speed and high pressure into a closed steel die cavity. The die is mounted to the die casting machine’s platens with its stationary and moving halves. With its injection end using hydraulics and pressurized gas to move a piston forward, the die casting machine injects the molten metal into the closed steel die. Utilizing hydraulics and mechanical toggles, the clamping end absorbs the injection pressure and holds the die shut while the part solidifies. The process can turn molten metal into a solid near-net-shape part in seconds, showcasing its versatility in various applications.

The two main metal groups used in this die casting process are aluminium& zinc . All twometals and employs cold and hot chamber high-pressure die casting processes.

Advantages of High-Pressure Die Casting

High-Pressure Die Casting can produce large, light-alloy parts in high volumes at great speed and efficiency. The HPDC process also delivers parts with superior surface finish, excellent uniformity, and optimum mechanical properties.

Another advantage of High-Pressure Die Casting is that it generally doesn’t require much machining thanks to excellent dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces. Compared to other manufacturing processes, high-pressure die casting is an efficient, economical process that:

• Produce strong, lightweight parts that require less machining than fabricated parts
• Create complex and intricate shapes in a single piece, eliminating the need for assembly or welding
• Offer a more broaderrange of shapes than other metal manufacturing techniques
• Achieves close tolerances
