Challenges for high-pressure die casting (HPDC) foundries

What’s Inside?

The high-pressure die casting (HPDC) market is evolving as auto makers increase both the amount and complexity of aluminium parts involved vehicle production. The change brings new opportunities for HPDC foundries – but also new challenges. Foundry consumable suppliers such as Foseco have a key role in helping their customers overcome these issues and take advantage of the next stage in HPDC evolution. In this white paper, we discuss: 

• Current trends in HPDC including lightweighting and megacasting
• The challenges posed by these trends
• How we are supporting foundries take the next steps in HPDC
