Low Pressure Die Casting


Low Pressure Aluminum Die Casting Services


FUERD is a professional aluminum low pressure die casting manufacturer with 18 years of experience, supporting custom casting projects from drawing review and process development through stable mass production. We supply high-strength A356-T and A357 aluminum castings and support customized alloy grades including ZL101, ZL102, 6061 and 7075 according to project requirements. Our one-stop service covers engineering review, mold development, custom casting, CNC machining, surface finishing, inspection and product assembly.

Key advantages of FUERD low pressure casting:

  • T6 Heat Treatable: Low pressure castings support T6 heat treatment to improve tensile strength, toughness and fatigue resistance.
  • High Strength and Airtightness: Stable low-pressure filling creates a dense structure for load-bearing and sealing components.
  • 3.5mm Thin-Wall Capability: We stably manufacture ultra-thin-wall aluminum castings with uniform wall thickness.
  • 100% X-Ray Inspection: Every casting undergoes X-ray non-destructive testing to screen for porosity and shrinkage.

Low Pressure Casting at FUERD


Unlike standard high-pressure die casting, low pressure casting fills the mold steadily and supports T6 heat treatment. This combination helps produce dense, high-strength aluminum components for demanding load-bearing, sealing and heat-dissipation applications.

FUERD combines casting process optimization, controlled production, T6 heat treatment and precision CNC machining, dimensional inspection, mechanical testing, airtightness testing, surface finishing and assembly. Before tooling and production, our engineering team reviews part structure, wall thickness, machining allowance, critical tolerances and sealing requirements to identify potential manufacturing risks. This integrated workflow helps reduce tooling revisions and maintain consistent quality from trial casting through large-scale production.

Manufacturing Scope


FUERD provides one-stop custom LPDC manufacturing from engineering review and mold development through casting, machining, inspection, finishing and assembly. Based on customer drawings and working conditions, we evaluate alloy selection, wall thickness, machining allowance, sealing requirements and critical dimensions before production. We support both small-batch trial orders and stable large-scale mass production.


How Low Pressure Die Casting Works


Low pressure die casting uses stable, controlled pressure to fill the mold. The gradual filling process supports a dense internal structure and consistent wall thickness, helping reduce porosity and shrinkage in parts that require mechanical strength, sealing performance or precision machining.

  1. Drawing and DFM Review: Our engineering team reviews casting structure, wall thickness, draft, machining allowance, critical tolerances and the gating system to identify potential casting or machining risks before tooling.
  2. Mold and Sand Core Preparation: The mold and any required sand cores are prepared for the component geometry.
  3. Mold Closing and Controlled Filling: Molten aluminum fills the mold steadily under controlled low pressure.
  4. Solidification and Part Removal: The casting solidifies before the mold is opened and the part is removed.
  5. T6 Heat Treatment: Heat treatment is applied when required to improve mechanical performance.
  6. Machining and Finishing: Parts can be CNC machined, deburred, shot blasted, ground, anodized, coated or polished.
  7. Inspection and Assembly: X-ray, dimensional, mechanical and airtightness inspections are completed before assembly or shipment.

Why Buyers Choose FUERD for Custom LPDC Projects


Custom LPDC projects require more than casting capacity alone. FUERD combines engineering support, controlled casting, CNC machining, inspection and secondary processing to help customers move from initial drawings and trial parts to repeatable mass production.

DFM and Casting Process Optimization

Our engineering team reviews part geometry, wall thickness, gating design, machining allowance and critical tolerances before production. Early DFM support helps identify potential casting and machining risks, reduce unnecessary tooling revisions and improve production consistency.

High-Strength Load-Bearing Castings

A356-T and A357 alloys, customizable aluminum compositions and T6 heat treatment provide the mechanical performance needed for automotive, marine, generator and motorcycle load-bearing components.

High-Airtight Precision Castings

Dense low pressure castings combined with 100% X-ray inspection support waterproof, oil-proof, leakage-proof and high-pressure sealing requirements for hydraulic and power equipment.

Ultra-Thin-Wall Heat Dissipation Castings

FUERD stably produces 3.5mm ultra-thin-wall aluminum castings with uniform wall thickness for heat-dissipation and precision equipment applications. Precision drilling, profiling, milling and tolerance correction are available for assembly features and dimensions that cannot be formed directly during casting.

Quality Inspection and Assembly

Inspection services include 100% X-ray non-destructive testing, dimensional inspection, mechanical testing and airtightness testing. Our quality control process covers key stages from casting inspection through machining verification and final product checks. Finished product assembly is also available for ready-to-use components.

Full-Range Surface Finishing

Available finishing processes include shot blasting, deburring, robotic grinding, anodizing, powder coating, e-coating and polishing to improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance and appearance.

Low Pressure Die Casting FAQs


Q1. What aluminum alloys are available for low pressure casting?

FUERD mainly supplies A356-T and A357 high-strength aluminum castings. Customized grades including ZL101, ZL102, 6061 and 7075 are also available according to product and operating requirements.

Q2. Can low pressure aluminum castings be T6 heat treated?

Yes. FUERD low pressure castings support T6 heat treatment to improve tensile strength, toughness and fatigue resistance, making them suitable for many load-bearing structural applications.

Q3. What is the minimum stable wall thickness available?

FUERD stably manufactures qualified 3.5mm ultra-thin-wall aluminum castings with uniform wall thickness for applications such as precision equipment and heat-dissipation housings.
