RenderFact High Pressure Die Casting
High Pressure Diecasting’s (HPDCs) are light-weight alternative components made from forcing molten metals into a mold at high speed and pressure. Casting molten metals allows for once multi-piece, welded-together structures to now be singular, aluminum castings – performing the same task with less mass and variability. The process allows fast, precise, cost effective production of aluminum or zinc die castings, meeting the needs of hi-tech industries where product appearance and dimensional tolerances are critical.
Renderfact has a professional die-casting parts production line, focusing on aluminum alloy & zinc alloy die-casting services, and has become a technology-leading die-casting product manufacturer. It provides innovative metal die-casting technology for aerospace, auto parts, automobile wheels, electronic accessories, medical supplies, replica sculptures, household hardware, construction accessories, etc.

HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTING
Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead and tin-based alloys. Depending on the metal being used, the injection unit that fills the mold can either be hot chamber or cold chamber. In hot chamber die casting, the metal is held within the diecasting machine itself, then drawn into the chamber and forced into the mold by the injection piston. These parts of the machine are in constant contact with the molten metal. The molds—also known as tools or dies—are created using steel and are specially designed for each project. This allows each component to be created with accuracy and repeatability.
The versatility, quality stability and accuracy of the die casting process have been widely used in various industries. Commonly used aluminum alloy die-casting parts are automobile wheels, radiator equipment, electronic parts, power connectors, communication equipment, electrical enclosures, etc. Zinc alloy die-casting parts are often used in automotive circuit parts, controller components, household door handles, children’s toys, miniature models, etc. Magnesium alloy die-casting parts are commonly used in electronic equipment, medical equipment, power line connectors and laboratory equipment accessories.
Materials
High Pressure Die Casting can be done on metals such as Aluminum, Zinc and Magnesium Alloys.
Aluminum alloy

Zinc Alloy
Zinc is used to form numerous metal casting alloys, including brass, bronze, nickel silver, soft solder, German silver, spring brass, and aluminum solder. zinc casting is commonly used to make electrical, automotive, and hardware equipment. Due to decreased cost, zinc alloys are often the choice for larger items where a higher volume of materials is required to make a part.

Standard Tolerances
If you do not provide us with your tolerances for High-Pressure Die Casting, we use standard tolerances DIN-1688. Tolerances can be greatly affected by part geometry and type of material. Our design engineers will consult you on every part of the project and will try to provide you with the highest degree of precision possible.
Finishes
Renderfact provides surface finishes on all Pressure Die Casting parts, including anodizing, electroplating, bead blasting, polishing, brushing, powder coating, and painting.
Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc.
Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.
Powder coating forms a durable, wear resistant and corrosion resistant layer on the surface of parts. Powder coating can be used to apply colors to parts and is compatible with any metal.
Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common.
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.
Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes. Most commonly applied to aluminum.
Painting the surface of a part improves its aesthetic appearance and can provide brand recognition to consumers. In addition, painting can have a protective effect on parts.
