Low-pressure casting

 

Low-pressure diecasting or low-pressure gravity diecasting enables the tailored production of large-volume aluminum cast parts in small batches. A semi-automated procedure, low-pressure diecasting is particularly superior to the familiar method of aluminum gravity diecasting for large, rotationally-symmetrical molded parts with complex geometries. Densen manufactures aluminum alloy low-pressure diecast parts weighing up to 20 kg. Densen delivers more than just high quality cast parts – If needed, we assemble the cast parts with production parts in additional steps to form ready-to-install assemblies.

As a specialist in low-pressure diecasting of small and medium-sized batches, Densen can offer Low-pressure diecasting at very competitive prices. Low-cost molds for low-pressure diecast parts give our customers a decisive advantage.

Advantages of low-pressure gravity die casting

 

The mold-filling properties of low-pressure diecasting make it suitable for thin-wall, large surface parts. Low-pressure diecasting produces a fine-grained, very dense structure with attractive mechanical properties due to the controlled, low turbulence form-filling process and the fast, oriented hardening of the aluminum melt in the metal permanent mold. This largely prevents porosity and shrink holes. Low-pressure diecast aluminum parts have a high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Cast aluminum possesses good electrical conductivity and superior thermal conductivity which makes aluminum a desirable material in machine building, automobile construction, and the electronics industry. In addition, the fact that aluminum parts are up to two-thirds lighter than those of cast iron makes cast aluminum a desirable alternative. Undercuts and cavities in cast parts can be achieved by using core inserts. Low-pressure diecasting is generally suitable for 200 - 1,000 castings of large-volume parts, however batch sizes of 50 units are sometimes economical. For a few medium-size cast parts weighing up 6 kg, we recommend aluminum gravity diecasting. For thin-wall cast parts in series up to 50,000 units, diecasting is the more economical method.
