Low Pressure Die Casting
Low-pressure die casting (LPDC) has become a popular process in today's foundries. Melted metal is slowly poured into the die to reduce turbulence. Wheels, suspension, steering, and engine components are all automotive applications. Pipe benders and bellhousings are examples of non-automotive components that can be made using the LPDC method. LPDC produces castings of very high metallurgical standards.Most popular related searches
Low Pressure Die Casting is a process that involves injecting liquid metal vertically from a furnace under the mold using a tube. A pressure of approximately 1 bar is used to push the molten aluminium up and down, forcing it into the cavity of a metal mold.
The filling process is highly controlled, resulting in excellent mechanical properties. Central feeding and the ability to multiply pouring attacks is ideal for complex parts, sand cores, and sand-cored parts.
