Die Cast
Process

Certified ingots are melted down in a knock down
furnace, the molten metal is them transferred into a holding
pressure pour furnace where it is then poured into a chamber on the
die cast machine. Then it is injected into a steel mold, the part is
then removed and inspected, trimmed and is ready for any other
processes if required by the customer. |

Molds are constructed with maximum life as a priority.
Premium steels, certified heat treatment are mandatory. Molds are
thoroughly preheated by hot oil and/or electric infrared prior to
production. Molds are stress relieved on a predetermined schedule.
