Pressure die casting is a quick, reliable and cost –effective manufacturing process for production of high volume, metal components that are net-shaped have tight tolerances.
| Basically, the pressure die casting process consists of injecting under high pressure a molten metal alloy into a steel mold(or tool).This gets solidified rapidly(from milliseconds to a few seconds) to form a net shaped components. It is then automatically extracted. |
Advantages :
 |
Lower Costs compared to other processes. |
|
Economical-typically production of any number of components |
|
from thousands to millions before requiring replacement is possible. |
|
Castings with close dimensional control and good surface finish. |
|
Castings with thin walls, and therefore are lighter in weight. |
Applications :
|
Automotive parts like wheels, blocks, cylinder heads, manifolds etc. |
|
Aerospace castings |
|
Electric motor housings |
|
Kitchen ware such as pressure cooker |
|
Cabinets for the electronics industry. |
|
General hardware appliances pump parts, plumbing parts. |
