What is High Pressure Die Casting?
High-pressure die casting is a process in which molten metal is forced under pressure into a securely locked metal die cavity, where it is held by a powerful press until the metal solidifies. After solidification of the metal, the die is unlocked, opened, and the casting ejected. After removal of the casting, the die is closed and locked again for the next cycle. The injection of metal into the die cavity is completed in a fraction of a second.
What Material we use for High pressure die casting?
Aluminium:
- Al-9Si – LM24, A380, ADC8, CA313, AlSi8Cu3Fe
- Al-12Si – LM6, A413, LM2, ADC12, AC3A, AlSi12
Zinc & Lead:
Why High Pressure Die Casting?
The advantages of high-pressure die casting include a higher production rate than with gravity or low-pressure casting. Also, the ability to produce castings with close dimensional control greatly reduces machining operations.
Limitations of Pressure Die casting:
- Requires complex and expensive equipment.
- A large capital investment is required for the setup – Tooling & Machinery
- Based on the part weight & Shape, machine tonnage & Tooling increases
- Relatively inflexible when compared to gravity die casting.
