Low-Pressure Die Casting
Low-pressure die casting, or low-pressure permanent mold casting, is a manufacturing process for light metal castings with particularly high requirements for strength, elongation, pressure tightness, and weldability.
In the low-pressure permanent mold casting process, the metal mold is filled from below through a riser tube using low overpressure. This guarantees smooth mold filling with clean melt, allowing us to achieve even higher mechanical properties and improved material integrity.
Advantages of the Low-Pressure
Die Casting Process
Complex Geometries
Even more complex geometries and thinner wall thicknesses than gravity die casting, and more precise than high-pressure die casting.
High Mechanical Properties
Optimal microstructure properties through pressure feeding result in excellent strength and elongation characteristics.
Highest Quality Level
The clean melt and extremely low-turbulence mold filling minimize the risk of porosity and inclusions.
Economical Production
High degree of automation in the casting process through the use of modern low-pressure casting systems.
Large Series
We offer customized solutions for the production of large series with volumes ranging from 5,000 to 500,000 parts per year. Our highly automated manufacturing processes ensure maximum efficiency and quality in production.
Precision Low-Pressure Die Casting
Even in low-pressure die casting, MWS demonstrates its capabilities. We deliver dimensionally accurate cast parts from permanent metal molds in the highest quality. Due to the use of sand cores in low-pressure die casting, complex hollow-cast structures can be produced.
