Die-cast aluminium molding is a process where a molten metal, or alloy, is injected with high pressure into a metal mould. Once the injected metal has solidified, the metal mould is opened and the piece in die-cast aluminium is extracted.
The mould to make the die-cast aluminium molding is made of steel and consists of two shells to allow the extraction of the die-cast part. The materials used to make the various parts of the mould are always metals with higher melting points than the injected material, such as aluminium.
The process of die-casting aluminium molding is automatised and computerised and therefore lends itself to high productivity. The constant control of the casting process ensures the best possible quality of die-cast parts and maximises production efficiency.
Thanks to high technological and quality standards, the pieces produced by die casting ensure better minimum dimensional tolerances and surface finishes than other foundry processes. Modern systems with capacities ranging from 100 to 1400 tonnes are able to manufacture high tech items with weights ranging from 4 grams to 15 kilos.
