High Pressure Die Casting Technology

Key Stages and Advantages of the Process

The core process of high pressure die casting involves injecting molten aluminum alloy under high pressure into a steel mold, also known as a die or matrix. To achieve optimum results, die casting machines are selected according to the specific parameters of the part, and the company is equipped with machines offering clamping forces ranging from 250 to 400 tons.

Advantages of High Pressure Die Casting

High pressure die casting provides a number of advantages, including exceptionally high casting quality, achieved thanks to excellent mold fill, resulting in a clean and smooth surface and superb dimensional accuracy. Rapid cooling ensures a fine-grained structure and enhanced mechanical properties of the castings. The process enables the production of castings with thin walls and complex configurations, offers high productivity and improved working conditions, as no molding mixtures are used.

Technological Requirements and Specifics

Despite its advantages, high pressure die casting is a complex technological process that requires in-depth knowledge of alloy metallurgy, casting technology, die manufacturing, as well as mechanical expertise in the operation of tooling and machinery.

Vacuum Casting — New Opportunities

The company is also equipped with an active vacuum casting system. During this process, the vacuum system removes air from the cavity of the die, preventing the formation of cavities in the part. As a result, the proportion of cavities in the castings is zero. This technology can be integrated into almost all dies, with a slight increase in tooling and individual part manufacturing costs. Vacuum casting enables the production of critical components meeting stringent technological requirements, frequently used in the refrigeration, automotive and aviation industries.
