Aluminium high-pressure die casting
Structural die casting engineered for function integration, stiffness-to-weight and assembly simplification.
Alloy: Low iron, primary grade material. Chemical composition custom tuned for customer’s targeted mechanical properties.
Heat-treatment: Single stage heat-treatment designed for minimal distortion.
Weldability: Yes (joining-ready design + controlled distortion strategy)
Average wall thickness: 3mm.
Engineering validation (DFM-driven): load-path design for torsion/impact/fatigue; casting fill/solidification studies to optimize gating/venting/thermal balance; datum strategy aligned with machining needs.
Tooling
Fully designed and built in-house.
Sealed tool (vacuum-tight design)
Central injection design, 3 plate tool.
Dual ejection system to extract part from fixed tool side.
Tooling robustness for structural castings: controlled venting & vacuum pathways, thermal management features to stabilize dimensions, and maintainability considerations built into the die architecture.
AMT has developed the A+ process, created by the synergy of advanced technology, deep expertise and disciplined work methods that ensure a reliable supply of high-quality castings.
High-vacuum, below 50mbar in the cavity
Real time tool vacuum monitoring
Lubricant volume monitoring.
Controlled process window: shot profile & intensification discipline to reduce gas/porosity risk; melt quality practices (temperature discipline/cleanliness); cycle-to-cycle stability focus with documented records.
Quality evidence (as required): dimensional control via 3D metrology; internal soundness validation (X-ray/CT) and mechanical verification aligned to customer specifications.
AMT’s electric powered furnaces provide the lowest carbon footprint in the industry for your parts.
