The squeeze casting workshop has introduced vacuum heat treatment furnaces.
Dechengxin's squeeze casting workshop has introduced a vacuum heat treatment furnace.Squeeze casting as liquid-metal forging, is a process by which molten metal solidifies under pressure within closed dies positioned between the plates of a hydraulic press.The applied pressure and instant contact of the molten metal with the die surface produce a rapid heat transfer condition that yields a pore-free fine-grain casting with mechanical properties approaching those of a wrought product. The squeeze casting process is easily automated to produce near-net to net shape high-quality components.
After T6(A heat treatment method), the mechanical property of squeeze casting parts could be very high.
