Squeeze casting, also known as molten metal die forging, is suitable for products made of copper alloys and aluminum alloys.
In squeeze casting, aluminum ingots are melted at temperatures between 685 and 715 degrees Celsius, and then formed using an squeeze casting machine to achieve the desired appearance according to customer product designs.
This process involves slowly injecting the molten aluminum into the mold cavity at low speed, followed by high-pressure forging to achieve high strength and excellent toughness in the aluminum alloy products.
Squeeze casting has many advantages, including:
1. High production efficiency: Squeeze casting is an efficient production method capable of mass producing products in a short period of time.
2. Excellent surface quality: Due to the high pressure exerted on the metal during extrusion, very smooth and fine surface quality can be achieved.
3. Good mechanical properties: Squeeze casting products typically exhibit excellent mechanical properties such as high strength.
4. Strong plasticity: Squeeze casting can produce products of various shapes and sizes, offering strong design flexibility.
Overall, squeeze casting is an efficient, precise, and cost-effective metal processing method widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics.
