What is the difference between High Pressure Die Casting and Low Pressure Die Casting?

High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC):

Molten metal is injected into the die at very high pressure (1000–2000 bar).

Faster process, suitable for high-volume production.

Used for thin-walled, complex parts.

Common in automotive and electronics industries.

Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC):

Molten metal is pushed into the die at low pressure (0.7–1.5 bar) from below.

Slower but gives better quality and strength.

Ideal for thicker, structural parts.

Common in wheels, suspension, and aerospace components.
