What Is Pressure Die Casting?

 

The die casting process is one of the most advanced metal forming methods of modern times. Pressure casting as an effective way to achieve chipless and chip-free has a wide range of applications and is developing rapidly.

 

Pressure casting (referred to as die-casting) is a method of obtaining die casting products by filling the cavity of a die casting mold with liquid or semi-liquid metal at a high rate under high pressure and forming and solidifying under pressure.

Die Casting Industry Where Pressure Casting Is Used

 

Die casting is no longer limited to the automotive industry, with the development of science and technology, die casting gradually expanded to other industrial sectors, such as agricultural machinery, electronics industry, computers, medical equipment and daily hardware, and other industries.

 

The die casting applications are embodied in auto parts (automotive steering knuckle mold, automotive engine bracket, auto structural parts), furniture accessories, bathroom accessories, lighting parts, metal buckles, locks, etc.

 

 

What Are the Characteristics of the Die-Casting Process?

 

Compared with other casting methods, the die casting manufacturing process has the following characteristics.

Feature 1: High Quality Finished Die-Castings

 

Castings with high dimensional accuracy, good surface finish, high strength, and hardness. The finished casting is dimensionally stable and can die-cast thin-walled complex castings. Current aluminum alloy castings can reach 0.5mm.

 


Feature 2: High Production Efficiency

 

High machine productivity, improved finished product rate, easy to achieve mechanisation and automation, saving labour and material costs.

 


Feature 3: Long Die-casting Pattern Life

 

For example, the life of SUPERBAND IPDC wheel mold quality can be as long as 2~30,000 times, with high quality of finished castings and energy saving and consumption reduction.

 

 

Feature 4: Excellent Economic Results

 

The die casting is precise in size, has a clean surface and generally does not require further mechanical processing, and can be used directly (or the amount of processing is very little). Therefore the die casting process improves the metal utilization rate.

 

In addition, the die casting mould parts price is relatively cheap, can use combination die-casting to other metal or non-metal materials.
