What is pressure die casting
Pressure Die casting is an efficient manufacturing method of creating metal parts by injecting molten metal into a mold. The mold is usually made of steel or aluminum and can be reused. The molten metal is usually injected under high pressure, which helps to create parts with a smooth surface finish. Foxstar can offer metal die casting service for prototype, low-volume and series production projects.
Advantages of Pressure Die Casting:
Precision: The high-pressure injection ensures that the final parts accurately replicate the mold's intricate details.
Complex Shapes: Pressure die casting allows for the production of parts with complex geometries that may be difficult or costly to achieve using other methods.
Efficiency: The rapid cycle times and minimal material wastage contribute to the overall cost-effectiveness of the process.
Surface Finish: Parts produced through pressure die casting often have a smooth and uniform surface finish, reducing the need for additional finishing steps.
Material Variety: Different alloys can be used, each with its own set of properties, making it possible to tailor parts to specific needs.
High Volume Production: The process is well-suited for high-volume production runs due to its speed and repeatability.

Die Casting Surface Finishes
Post-processing and finishing are the final step of die casting parts. Finishing applying is to remove the surface defects on cast parts, enhance mechanical or chemical properties, and improve product’s appearance.
