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.
AppliSand Mouldions:
- 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
