Common Materials Used in Low Pressure Die Casting

Material Typical Characteristics Common Applications
Aluminum Alloys The most common materials for low pressure die casting, offering a good balance of weight reduction, dimensional consistency, and mechanical performance for repeat production parts. Automotive housings, covers, pump components, brackets, and industrial structural parts.
A356 Aluminum Alloy Widely used where good castability, stable mechanical properties, and practical machining support are required for custom industrial components. Wheel components, housings, machine parts, and other repeat-production aluminum castings.
ZL101 Aluminum Alloy Suitable for low pressure die casting applications that require lighter structure, stable production quality, and good post-casting machining potential. Equipment covers, support parts, pump housings, and general industrial aluminum components.
Magnesium Alloys Lower density than aluminum and useful for cast parts where weight reduction is important, while still supporting stable mold-based production. Lightweight housings, transport components, enclosures, and selected structural parts.
Copper-Based Alloys Used in selected low pressure die casting applications requiring good corrosion resistance, durability, and stable service performance. Fittings, pump parts, valve-related components, and specialty industrial cast parts.

What Is Low Pressure Die Casting?

Low pressure die casting is a metal casting process in which molten metal is introduced into a metal mold under controlled low pressure to form the required part shape. It is widely used for producing repeat-order non-ferrous metal components with stable filling, improved consistency, and reliable support for subsequent machining or finishing. The process is commonly applied to housings, covers, pump parts, brackets, and other industrial metal components.

1. Mold Preparation

Metal molds are prepared according to part geometry, application requirements, and production needs to support stable low pressure die casting performance.

2. Filling and Solidification

Molten metal is introduced into the prepared mold under controlled low pressure and allowed to solidify into the required part shape.

3. Trimming and Cleaning

After solidification and demolding, the casting is trimmed and cleaned to remove excess material and prepare the part for the next production stage.

4. Machining and Final Inspection

When required, the casting goes through secondary machining and final inspection to support dimensional consistency, functional requirements, and delivery quality .
