Every Material You Can High Pressure Die Cast (and the Ones You Can’t)

By Align Manufacturing / September 24, 2026

High pressure die casting (HPDC) forces molten metal into a hardened steel die at pressures from 1,500 to 25,000 psi and holds it there until it solidifies. The process is fast, repeatable, and produces thin walls and tight tolerances that sand and investment casting cannot touch. But it only works with a narrow family of…
