High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) is an extremely efficient manufacturing method for producing various product forms. The process forces molten metal at high speed, and high pressure into a closed steel die cavity. The die has a stationary and moving half, both of which are mounted to the die casting machine’s platens.

High-pressure die casting is a process in which molten metal is forced under pressure into a securely locked metal die cavity, where it is held by a powerful press until the metal solidifies. Two types of systems are used for injecting the molten metal into the die.
