Brass high-pressure die casting vs. standard
high-pressure die casting (HPDC)

Unique properties.

Find out why brass alloys in the HPDC process are so special. From the high casting temperature to the strength and corrosion resistance, they offer unique advantages. Discover the possibilities of brass HPDC for precise and cost-efficient components.

Brass HPDC not only allows you to benefit from the classic advantages of the die casting process itself, but also to optimise physical and chemical properties! For example, tensile strengths of 350 N/mm² - 500 N/mm² are possible with brass or special brass alloys and substitution with common standard steel grades, such as S235JR, is easy to realise. For use in sanitary areas or areas where water flows through, excellent durability is achieved thanks to the good resistance to corrosion and this without additional surface finishing processes.

Advantages of brass HPDC

The 7 most important points at a glance.

The good castability forms the basis for use in the die casting process - the mechanical properties define the areas of application. Castings that are close to the final contour and true to shape are the result of die casting, making brass alloys construction materials with good strength values. In the case of special brass alloys, the very good corrosion resistance to seawater even leads to areas of application in the maritime or offshore sector.

  • Thin wall thicknesses
  • Unit weight
  • Tensile strength
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Component moulding process
  • Antimicrobial effect
