Die Casting
- Low unit price
- Efficient production
- Suitable for mass production
- Can be automated
- Tight tolerances possible
- Suitable for complex products
SSM - SEMI SOLID METAL
The SSM hybrid process provides a remedy to the aforementioned
disadvantages of the conventional aluminum die
casting process.
From semi-solid thixotropic
alloys of aluminum and tin, in a combination of die
casting and forging
processes, aluminum metal parts are produced
with very low air inclusions, high strength and toughness. SEMI SOLID METAL (SSM) aluminum
components are also heat
treatable, weldable and pressure tight.
- Reduction or elimination of air entrapment
- Reduction or prevention of shrinkage behavior
- Improving the molecular structure based on the new aluminum alloys
- Different viscosities of aluminum
- Lower processing temperature is mild for the tools
- Suitable for thin-walled parts with small tolerances
