Technology Background

WHAT IS Semi-Solid Casting?

Semi-solid casting combines the advantages of conventional high-pressure die casting (HPDC) with enhanced casting integrity.

Instead of injecting fully liquid metal at extremely high speeds, semi-solid casting uses a controlled mixture of solid and liquid metal with a globular (non-dendritic) microstructure to achieve premium castings.
