What is High Pressure Die Casting?

High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is a highly efficient and cost-effective method of manufacturing high-quality metal parts for large-volume production. The process can produce parts with tight dimensional tolerances, excellent surface finishes, and intricate geometries. Marcus specializes in manufacturing Aluminum, Zinc, and Lead die casts through HDPC.

High-pressure die casting is done in two ways-

Hot Chamber Die Casting

This process is used for metals such as zinc and lead. The injection system of a hot chamber machine is immersed in the melting furnace’s molten metal bath. Metal is forced through the nozzle and into the die as the shot plunger moves.

Cold Chamber die casting

Cold Chamber Die Casting

The cold chamber casting process is used for metals such as Aluminum and brass. The molten metal is poured into a port of the cold chamber sleeve, either manually or automatically. A hydraulically driven plunger moves through the steel sleeve, closing the port and driving the metal into the die at high speed and pressure. After the casting has solidified, the plunger is withdrawn, the die is opened, the casting is expelled, and the system is ready for the next shot cycle.

Applications of High-Pressure Die Cast

The applications of high-pressure die casting are vast and varied, ranging from the automotive and aerospace industries to the medical and electronics sectors.

FAQs

Die casting is a manufacturing process where high-pressure forces molten metal into a mold cavity. The metal cools and solidifies, taking the shape of the mold. The mold is then opened, and the newly formed metal part is ejected.

Marcus has a comprehensive quality control system in place to ensure that all parts produced meet or exceed customer requirements. This includes rigorous testing and inspection throughout the production process and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of quality metrics.

Yes, Marcus can provide custom tooling for die-casting projects. The company has in-house tooling capabilities and can work with customers to design and manufacture custom molds and tooling to meet their specific needs.

Marcus offers a range of design support services for die-casting projects, including design for manufacturability (DFM) analysis, 3D modeling, and prototyping. The company’s team of experienced engineers can work with customers to optimize their designs for the die-casting process and ensure that parts can be produced efficiently and effectively.

In the context of high-pressure die casting, shrinkage refers to the reduction in volume or size of the metal as it cools and solidifies within the die cavity. This phenomenon occurs due to the natural contraction of the metal as it changes from a liquid to a solid state. Shrinkage is a common concern in casting processes, including high-pressure die casting, because it can lead to defects and dimensional inaccuracies in the final product.

High-pressure die casting is a manufacturing process used to produce intricate and complex metal parts with high precision and excellent surface finish. It is commonly employed to create components for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and more. 


Key steps in the process include:

  • Die Preparation: Using two halves (cover die and ejector die) made of durable tool steel.
  • Injection: Molten metal (aluminium, zinc, or magnesium alloys) is injected into the die at high pressures (over 10,000 psi).
  • Cooling: The metal cools rapidly and solidifies within the die due to controlled cooling channels.
  • Ejection: The two die halves are separated, and the part is removed using ejection pins or mechanisms.
  • Trimming and Finishing: Excess material (“flash”) is removed, and finishing operations ensure final shape and dimensions.
  • Quality Control: Thorough inspection for dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and defects.

High Pressure Die Casting is a precision metal casting process used to produce intricate and complex metal components with excellent dimensional accuracy. This manufacturing technique is widely employed in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and various other industries.

In this process, molten metal, typically aluminum or zinc-based alloys, is injected under high pressure into a steel mold, also known as a die. The die is specifically designed to form the desired shape of the final product. The application of high pressure ensures that the metal fills all the intricate details of the die, resulting in a finely detailed and precise finished product.
