Die casting

This is a casting method that involves the use of a two-part mould that can be opened and closed. When the mould is closed, it is completely tight. Melted metal is injected under high pressure to fill the cavity completely. The mould is then liquid cooled to maintain the required performance and service life, and to reduce the cycle time.

Pressure casting is a method that is very cost-efficient for large batches as the machining cost are relatively high. For smaller batches, chill casting or sand casting are alternative methods with lower tool costs.
