Low Pressure Die Casting in Australia
Alliance Connect has two state-of-the-art low pressure die casting machines.
We are one of the oldest and most knowledgeable gravity die casting companies serving Australia and New Zealand.
What is Low Pressure Die Casting?
Low pressure die casting is similar to sand casting as gravity is used to fill the molten metal into the mould. In low pressure casting the metal within the furnace is pressed into the mould using pressure.
At Alliance Connect, we have moved into the 21st century of casting technology and can now supply aluminium castings for applications that demand higher performance.
