Traditiona die casting and squeeze die casting are two distinct processes. Although both involve molds and pressure, their principles, purposes, and product characteristics are fundamentally different. Traditional die casting: High-pressure and high-speed filling of the cavity, emphasizing efficiency and complex shapes, but it is prone to porosity inside. Squeeze die casting: Low-speed stable filling and solidification under high pressure, emphasizing high quality and density, and heat-treatable. Read More

Squeeze Casting is an advanced process in which molten metal is injected into a mold and then immediately subjected to continuous high pressure to solidify and take shape. It combines the advantages of casting (capable of forming complex shapes) and forging (dense structure). Read More

For squeeze castings, T6 treatment is the most commonly used and important heat treatment process, which can bring out the performance potential of the material to the fullest.I. The Essence and Purpose of T6 TreatmentEssence:The T6 treatment is a two-step process: solution treatment + complete arti Read More

The fundamental reason why squeeze castings can be welded lies in that through technological innovation, it has greatly eliminated the defects that make traditional die castings unweldable. Read More

Die casting is a highly efficient liquid metal forming method with less and no cutting. It uses a die-casting machine to press molten liquid or semi-liquid metal into a metal cavity under high pressure to quickly fill the mold, and then shapes and solidifies under pressure to obtain castings.
