High Pressure Die Casting
Effective HPDC (high-pressure die casting) can produce thousands of premium molded casts in a short amount of time while utilizing a single mold. This highly economical and cost-effective approach to high-pressure die casting mold design can produce casts with uniform quality and high degrees of accuracy. High-pressure die casting mold development provides premium quality, near “net shape” parts at a highly cost-effective price point.

How are Die Casting Molds Manufactured?
Die casting is a manufacturing process commonly used to produce accurately dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth, or textured surface metal parts. It is accomplished by forcing molten metal under high pressure into reusable metal dies. The die casting mold manufacturing process follows the subsequent procedures regarding die cast mold manufacturing:
- A mold is created in at least two sections to allow the proper removal of the casting.
- The sections are mounted securely within the machine and are arranged so that one is stationary while the other is moveable.
- The two are tightly clamped together.
- Molten metal is injected into the die cavity, where it quickly solidifies.
- The die halves are drawn apart, and the casting is ejected.
Compared with sand or permanent mold processes, HPDC is the fastest method for producing exact non-ferrous metal parts.
How are High Pressure Die Casting Molds Constructed?
The molds utilized in the die casting mold design process are constructed from premium, heat-resistant steel grades. The molds are halved to form a cavity into which the liquid metal is pressed during the casting process. A die casting mold is so strong over a million parts can generally be created with a single mold. However, the actual life of the mold will solely depend on the die casting materials used.
Additional Considerations for Die Casting Mold Design
Some of the additional factors that should be considered before starting a die casting mold development project include the following:
- Gate calculation, feeding speed, and fill time
- Press size, clamping forces calculation
- Shot sleeve choice and calculation
- Venting and overflows
- Establishing cast and technological Datums
- Establishing machining stock
Die Casting Mold Development Benefits
Die casting utilizes non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum alloys or zinc alloys) to manufacture components. The chosen alloy for an application depends on budget, weight, and material properties. At SKS Die Casting, we can provide you with die cast molds that match your design specifications. Some of the advantages of HPDC molds include the following:
- Gate calculation, feeding speed, and fill time
- Press size, clamping forces calculation
- Shot sleeve choice and calculation
- Venting and overflows
- Establishing cast and technological Datums
- Establishing machining stock
