Pressure Die Casting
Pressure Die Casting is a metal casting process in which molten material is introduced into a die under pressure to produce a defined component shape. At Dipak Sales, pressure die casting is part of our listed manufacturing expertise for customers requiring cast components based on drawings and specifications.
The process can be considered when repeat production and a defined cast geometry are important. Our documented material expertise includes ETP copper, aluminium, phosphor bronze, lead-free brass alloys, low-lead brass alloys and copper alloys, with the final material and process route determined by the customer's requirements.
Pressure Die Casting for Repeat Components
Pressure die casting uses a reusable die to shape molten metal under controlled pressure. The process is suited to producing repeatable component geometries and can reduce the amount of material that would otherwise need to be removed through machining from a solid starting piece.
When Pressure Die Casting Makes Sense
- Repeated production of defined cast geometries
- Components with shaped profiles that benefit from a moulded form
- Parts requiring a casting stage before secondary machining
- Production programs where repeatability is important
- Customer-specific components manufactured to drawings and specifications
Material and Component Requirements
Dipak Sales documents expertise in ETP copper, aluminium, phosphor bronze, lead-free brass alloys, low-lead brass alloys and copper alloys. The appropriate material and casting route should be established against the approved component specification.
Secondary Operations
A pressure die cast component may require additional work before it reaches its final condition. Depending on the drawing, subsequent operations can include turning, drilling, milling, tapping, finishing, coating or assembly.
Inspection Support
Our listed inspection resources include digital micrometers, vernier calipers, height gauges, depth gauges, dial gauges, bore gauges, digital measuring instruments and alignment measuring tools. Chemical composition analysis and hardness testing are also supported through listed third-party facilities where applicable.
Part of a Broader Manufacturing Capability
Pressure die casting sits alongside forging, machining, finishing and assembly within Dipak Sales' manufacturing services. The technical team states that continuously upgraded technologies support complex and mass-production requirements.
