PRESSURE CASTING
(Metal-Mold / Sand-Mold)

🔩 Pressure Casting
(High-Pressure Casting Process)

Pressure Casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is injected into a mold under high pressure. It is commonly used for mass production of precise metal parts with smooth surfaces and tight tolerances.

This process is widely known as Die Casting.


🏭 How Pressure Casting Works

  1. Molten metal (usually aluminum, zinc, or magnesium) is heated in a furnace.
  2. The molten metal is injected into a steel mold (die) at high pressure.
  3. The metal fills the mold cavity quickly.
  4. The metal solidifies under pressure.
  5. The mold opens and the finished part is ejected.

Injection pressure: 1,500 – 25,000 psi (10 – 170 MPa)


⚙️ Types of Pressure Casting

1️⃣ Hot Chamber Die Casting

  • Injection system is submerged in molten metal.
  • Faster cycle time.
  • Used for:
    • Zinc
    • Magnesium
    • Low melting-point alloys

2️⃣ Cold Chamber Die Casting

  • Molten metal is ladled into a chamber before injection.
  • Used for:
    • Aluminum
    • Brass
    • Copper alloys
  • Slower than hot chamber but handles higher melting temperatures.

🏗️ Materials Commonly Used

  • Aluminum alloys
  • Zinc alloys
  • Magnesium alloys
  • Brass
  • Copper

✅ Advantages

  • Very high production speed
  • Excellent surface finish
  • High dimensional accuracy
  • Thin wall capability
  • Good mechanical strength
  • Minimal post-processing required

❌ Disadvantages

  • High initial mold cost
  • Not economical for small production runs
  • Limited to non-ferrous metals
  • Possible air entrapment (porosity)

📊 Pressure Casting vs Sand Casting

Feature Pressure Casting Sand Casting
Production Volume High Low–Medium
Surface Finish Smooth Rough
Mold Type Steel Die Sand Mold
Tooling Cost High Low
Precision High Moderate
