Precision through gas injection: Innovation in die casting

Get exclusive insights into our gas injection project and discover the advantages of this innovative technology.

Learn more about the complex process in our detailed explanatory video:

The process at a glance

• The mold cavity is filled using the standard die casting process.
• The outer shell of the component solidifies while the inner core remains liquid.
• The injector pierces and the gas injection starts.
• A slide valve opens, the liquid material is displaced into a secondary cavity, and a hollow space is created.
• The gating and overflow system, including the gas channel, is separated.

Areas of application and potential

• Cost-effective production of cooling geometries
• Media-carrying channels
• Weight reduction
• New design possibilities in die casting

Application examples

• Housings for power electronics
• Components for e-mobility
• Design components

Advantages of gas injection technology

• No seals or screws required
• Reduced component management
• Function integration and one-piece solutions
• Production of complex channels with deflections
• Lower investment and assembly costs

With gas injection technology, we are opening up new possibilities in die casting and optimizing existing production processes.
