Pressure Casting Processes
Our molds are made from a permanent, reusable steel pattern. Cooling rates are tightly controlled to maximize the mechanical properties of aluminum that enters the bottom of the mold via pressure resulting from a vacuum placed at the top of the mold.
- Pressure counter pressure casting (PCPC)
- High pressure die casting (HPDC)
- Vacuum riserless casting (VRC) and pressure riserless casting (PRC) for high mechanical properties
Aludyne’s pressure casting processes offer a variety of advantages to quality, cost-effectiveness, and optimization of your product.
