![]() For example, aluminum has a casting temperature of 710-720 0C. The process begins with a melting furnace which melts the metal alloys and brings them to the casting temperature. Below is an illustration of the setup and pieces of equipment that are needed. ![]() Unlike the traditional die casting process, it has a unique setup and uses several pieces of equipment. ![]() Low-pressure die casting uses small pressure, typically around 20-100 kPa (2.9-14.5 psi), instead of gravity to fill a die. Other attributes include reduction in oxide formation and porosity and superior consistency of molten metal from top to bottom. This means it compensates for the reduction in volume. It is highly accurate due to the constant filling of the die cavity during the shrinking phase (solidification). LPDC involves filling a die-cast mold with molten metal under low pressure.
