Low-pressure die-casting
Precise. Dimensionally stable. Cost-efficient.
Low-pressure die-casting produces pressure-tight and low-distortion components with uniform wall thicknesses, smooth surfaces, and high dimensional accuracy - ideal for machined functional and sealing surfaces. The pore-free and homogeneous microstructure ensures excellent surface quality, reliable dimensional stability, and heat-treatment capability, significantly reducing post-processing costs. This makes low-pressure die-casting the first choice for complex, medium-sized geometries, pressure-tight housings, and pump and valve components wherever tight tolerances, high strength, minimal distortion, and reliable machinability are required.
Your direct benefits
End-to-end
processing
From individual parts and assemblies to complete products – including sourcing and coordination.
Scalable production
We remain flexible: if production volumes increase unexpectedly, our network allows us to respond immediately and reliably adapt availability to new requirements.
Plannable & efficient
Coordinated processes according to European standards ensure reliable lead times and competitive unit costs.
Short payback time
Thanks to competitive tool manufacturing and optimized cycle times.
Faster to series production
Only a few weeks from first samples to full-scale production.
Fewer pores, greater stability
Gentle casting process for pressure-tight, heat-treatable components.
High dimensional accuracy
Tight tolerances and stable machining processes minimize rework and correction cycles.
Lightweight & robust
Uniform wall thicknesses and optimized heat treatment deliver high strength with reduced weight.
Complete solution from a single source
DFM, toolmaking, heat treatment, surface finishing, and seamless documentation according to your specifications.
Best Practice
Temperature-controlled housing units produced by low-pressure-casting
For a German manufacturer of industrial paint production equipment, astria produces temperature-controlled housing containers using the low-pressure die-casting process. The strict requirements for tightness, minimal porosity, and smooth surfaces are precisely met. Through chemical nickel plating, we achieve a dense, corrosion- and wear-resistant surface, additionally wet-painted on the outside for a premium appearance.
