In the production of non-ferrous metal castings, die casting is the most energy-efficient casting process, with reusable molds and very high production rates resulting in highly-efficient energy usage.

Such cost reductions are being achieved for a wide variety of machined part applications in a range of alloys and part sizes. In the case of many small precision parts, the net-shape 4-slide miniature die casting process can be used to replace a brass machined part at no sacrifice in mechanical properties for significant savings at even low production volumes.

Such cost reductions are being achieved for a wide variety of machined part applications in a range of alloys and part sizes. In the case of many small precision parts, the net-shape 4-slide miniature die casting process can be used to replace a brass machined part at no sacrifice in mechanical properties for significant savings at even low production volumes.
