Semi-Solid Die Casting (SSDC)

Semi-Solid Die Casting (SSDC) is an advanced metal forming process that combines the advantages of traditional high-pressure die casting (HPDC) and forging technology. It utilizes the high viscosity of metals in a semi-solid state (typically 40-60% solid fraction) to achieve near-net shaping through precision injection. This process uses partially solidified metal slurry, and its unique thixotropic flow characteristics allow the metal to fill the mold more evenly, reducing defects such as shrinkage and porosity, while ensuring higher density and improved mechanical properties.

Semi-Solid Die Casting is particularly suitable for high-performance alloys, especially lightweight materials such as aluminum and magnesium alloys. The molded parts offer excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability. SSDC technology is widely applied in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, and medical equipment. It is especially advantageous for producing parts requiring high strength, superior durability, and reduced weight. Thanks to its enhanced density and minimized need for secondary processing, SSDC has gradually become one of the preferred processes in high-end manufacturing.
