What Is Squeeze Die Casting?
Pressofusione a compressione (also known as Squeeze Casting) is a advanced casting technology that bridges the gap between High-Pressure Die Casting E Low-Pressure Die Casting. A differenza dei metodi tradizionali, it uses controlled pressure during the solidification process to eliminate porosity and improve material density.
A quick process overview reveals its core value: molten metal is injected into a die, then a mechanical squeeze force (che vanno da 10 A 150 MPa) is applied as the metal cools. This extra pressure ensures the metal fills every detail of the die, resulting in components with superior strength and dimensional accuracy. Table 1 compares it to other casting methods:
| Casting Method | Pressure Range | Porosity Level | Forza (Al Alloy) | Ideal Use Cases |
| Squeeze Die Casting | 10–150 MPa | Very Low (<1%) | 300–450 MPa | Structural parts, medical devices |
| High-Pressure Die Casting | 50–150 MPa | Medium (2–5%) | 250–350 MPa | Consumer electronics, small components |
| Low-Pressure Die Casting | 0.1–1 MPa | Low (1–2%) | 280–380 MPa | Large automotive parts (per esempio., wheels) |

The Squeeze Die Casting Process: Step-by-Step
IL Squeeze Die Casting Process follows a streamlined process flow designed for consistency and efficiency. Each step is optimized to minimize cycle time (typically 60–180 seconds per part) while maximizing quality.
- Injection: Molten alloy (heated to 600–750°C for aluminum) is injected into a preheated die (150–250°C) at low speed (0.5–2 m/s).
- Squeeze: Once the die is filled, a hydraulic press applies pressure (20–120 MPa) to the molten metal. This step eliminates air bubbles and ensures full die cavity filling.
- Cooling: The metal solidifies under pressure for 10–30 seconds. Coolant channels in the die speed up this process while preventing warping.
Ejection: The die opens, and robotic arms (per automazione) remove the finished part. Post-ejection, excess material (flash) is trimmed for precision.
