High pressure aluminum die casting - castingjc - 03-10-2023
High pressure aluminum die casting is the most commonly used manufacturing process worldwide. At present, about 70% of die casting manufacturers use high pressure aluminum die casting process.
We describe the process of aluminum high pressure die casting below:
The aluminum alloy is melted in a furnace separate from the die casting equipment.
The molten aluminum is then transported into the equipment's shot sleeve using a manually or robotically operated ladle.
Next, a piston pushes high pressure on the molten metal to fill the mold. Now, the casting is left in the mold for a while to cool and solidify.
Finally, the two halves of the mold are separated and the finished casting is removed.
