Low/High pressure die casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is injected into a steel mold at either low or high pressure to produce intricate, high-precision components.
The casting capacity of WELLE manufacturers including process, material, weight and size is listed as follows:
✧ Casting Process: Gravity Die casting, Lower Pressure Die casting, Higher Pressure Die Casting, Vacuum Casting, Investment Casting, Centrifugal casting, Lost Foam Casting, CNC Machining, NDT (Non-Destructive testing), Heat-treatment, Welding.
✧ Casting Material: Nickel-Base Alloys, Alloy Steel, Inconel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Copper, Bronze, Aluminum Series, Cast Iron, SG Iron, other materials are available upon request.
✧ Casting Weight: 0.02kg – 2,000kg
✧ Size: 5mm – 3000mm
Process:
- Mold Preparation: Steel molds, also known as dies, are created to match the product specifications.
- Die Closure: The mold is closed, and molten metal is injected into the cavity.
- Solidification: The metal solidifies rapidly within the mold.
- Die Opening: Once solid, the die is opened, and the final part is ejected.
Materials: Commonly used materials include aluminum, zinc, and magnesium alloys, chosen for their casting properties and desired end-product characteristics.
Quality Requirements: Strict quality control measures ensure dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and structural integrity. Advanced monitoring systems are employed to manage variables like pressure and temperature.
Applications: Widely used for producing complex, detailed parts with tight tolerances, such as automotive components (engine parts, gearbox housings), consumer electronics (phone casings), and industrial machinery.
Industries:
- Automotive: Engine components, transmission parts, structural elements.
- Electronics: Housings for smartphones, laptops, and other devices.
- Aerospace: Aircraft components and structural parts.
Market Trends: Since 2024, low/high pressure die casting is expected to witness increased demand driven by advancements in alloy formulations and casting technologies. The automotive and aerospace industries are likely to continue relying on this process for lightweight, high-strength components to meet evolving performance and efficiency standards.
