High pressure aluminum die casting
High integrity
Structural Die Casting

Light – Strong – Ductile – Weldable

Vent-to-atmosphere or standard vacuum-assist die casting processes leave too much gas in the cavity for castings to be able to withstand heat treatments. Internal weaknesses due to porosity make components brittle and defeat any advantages of special alloys. Therefore, traditional applications of die casting are limited to components that bear light loads.

AMT has heavily invested to optimize several aspects of dies, equipment and control.

Vacuum Assisted Die Casting

Extreme vacuum, primary alloys and heat treatment for improved mechanical properties, crash-worthiness and weldability.

AMT’s A+ process includes an extreme vacuum system as well as many advancements that bring cavity pressure at a level so low that the resulting castings can reliably undergo heat treatment. Primary alloys optimized for mechanical properties can therefore be used. Typical applications include very thin structural components and weldable parts.

Die Casting Technology

High integrity die cast parts are not made in (just) a vacuum

While vacuum certainly is necessary to manufacture high-integrity die casting components, there is a lot more at play. AMT has heavily invested to optimize several aspects of dies, equipment and control.
