The mechanical High-pressure Diecasting process runs, simply explained, in 5 steps:
- The filling tin is slowly filled with aluminium.
- Then follows a fast-pouring phase, approx. 50 m/sec, in which the mould is filled.
- The aluminium solidifies under pressure.
- The mould is opened, and the casting is moulded out.
- Release agent is sprayed into the mould and the process starts again.
The High-pressure Diecasting process is ideal for:
- rational, economical production
- medium to large series
- light and thin-walled castings
- smooth surfaces
- sharp contours
- very dimensionally accurate
With the very elaborately constructed moulds made of alloyed warm-work steel, up to 100,000 castings can be made, depending on the requirements. After that, the mould has to be renewed.
We produce aluminium castings from 5 g to 3 kg using the
High-pressure Diecasting process. Good to know: For complex or highly stressed parts, we cast using vacuum assistance.
