Pressgjutning

Pressgjutning, also known as die casting, is a manufacturing process used to produce metal parts by injecting molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. This process is widely used for producing complex shapes with high precision and excellent surface finish. The mold, or die, is typically made of steel and is designed to create the desired shape of the part. The molten metal, usually an alloy such as zinc, aluminum, magnesium, or copper, is injected into the die at high pressure, which forces the metal to fill the intricacies of the mold cavity. Once the metal has solidified, the die is opened, and the solidified part is ejected. Pressgjutning is known for its ability to produce parts with fine details, tight tolerances, and smooth surfaces, making it suitable for applications in various industries, including automotive, electronics, and aerospace. The process is efficient and can produce large quantities of parts with consistent quality, making it a popular choice for mass production. However, the initial cost of tooling can be high, and the process is limited to materials that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures involved.
