Pressure die casting is a quick reliable and cost effective manufacturing process for production of high volume metal components that are net shaped have tight tolerances Basically the pressure die casting process consists of injecting under high pressure a molten metal alloy into a steel mold or tool This gets solidified rapidly from milliseconds to a few seconds to form a net shaped component It is then automatically extracted expending upon the pressure used there are two types of pressure die casting namely High Pressure Die Casting and Low Pressure Die Casting While high pressure die casting has wider application encompassing nearly 50percent of all light alloy casting production Currently low pressure die casting accounts for about 20percent of the total production but its use is increasing High pressure castings are must for castings requiring tight tolerance and detailed geometry As the extra pressure is able to push the metal into more detailed features in the mold Low pressure die casting is common
