EspañolThough the list of uses for HPDC is constantly growing, the number of applications surged beginning with the Great Recession of 2008. This growth is expected to continue, with components designed as die castings projected to grow faster than those designed for other casting processes.
Today, the automotive industry accounts for more than half of the die casting industry’s current output, a growth attributable to a variety of factors. One cause has been automotive designers’ realization that the properties they need to satisfy crash and safety-critical application requirements can be achieved by high quality high pressure die castings. Die casting also allows for high degrees of dimensional repeatability, cost efficiency, and superior finish.
A larger, underlying reason for the growth of die cast parts in the automotive industry is the growing interest in improving fuel consumption, which can be accomplished by reducing the weight of vehicles. (Click here to learn more ) In fact, trends in engineering place a focus on lightening the weight of vehicles. Other emphasis lies on retained stiffness, more electronic safety protections, and smaller carbon footprints with maximized internal space.
Simultaneous to these benefits are the positive side effects of less overdesign for crash, the need for smaller engines and powertrains, and changes in frame design and collision scenarios.
Replacing steel structural components with lighter aluminum components accommodates the complex geometries and thin-walled sections that components in the automotive field require. Forgings, ferrous castings, stamping, and weldments are a handful of the processes replaced by die casting components for structural applications.
