Aluminum Squeeze Casting
Squeeze casting is a manufacturing process that combines casting and forging, offering the advantages of both.
There are two types of squeeze casting, direct squeeze casting (for simple shapes) and indirect squeeze casting (for complex shapes).
We use indirect squeeze casting to provide aluminum parts with thick walls, high strength, high hardness, high elongation and high air tightness for the automotive, electric vehicles, motorcycles, aerospace, electric power, marine and other industries.
Features of Aluminum Squeeze Casting Parts
Squeeze casting can effectively eliminate common aluminum casting defects, such as shrinkage, pores, cracks, etc. Therefore, aluminum squeeze cast parts have excellent performance and are often used in automotive, electric vehicles, aerospace and other industries.
Tensile strength: 260-320 MPa
Yield strength: 220-260 MPa
Elongation: 8%-13%
Hardness: 85-110Hb
Aluminum squeeze castings can be heat treated to further improve mechanical properties.
Compared with die castings, aluminum squeeze casting parts have denser internal grains, thus achieving higher air tightness (≥0.5MPa).
People rarely CNC machine the surface of ordinary die castings because they have pores inside. But squeeze cast parts can be fully machined like forged parts because they have no internal casting defects.
Squeeze casting is a combination of die casting and forging.
It is as efficient as die casting, but far more performant.
It is as high performance as forging, but far less expensive to produce.
Aluminum Squeeze Casting VS Aluminum Die Casting
Aluminum squeeze casting is an improvement on the aluminum die casting process. It is as efficient as die casting, but the mechanical properties of the parts far exceed those of die castings. If your aluminum parts require complex shapes and high performance, then squeeze die casting will be the right choice.
| Precess | Material | Tensile Strenth | Yield Strenth | Elongation | Hardness | Air Tightness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Die Casting | ADC12 | 140-160MPa | 80-90MPa | 1%-2% | 70-80Hb | 0 |
| Aluminum Squeeze Casting | A356.2 | 270-290MPa | 220-240MPa | 7%-9% | 85-100Hb | ≥0.5MPa |
| Aluminum Squeeze Casting | AlSi9Cu3 | 350-370MPa | 260-280MPa | 2%-3% | 110-125Hb | ≥0.5MPa |
| Aluminum Squeeze Casting | S319 | 350-370MPa | 260-270MPa | 11%-13% | 110-125Hb | ≥0.5MPa |
Aluminum Squeeze Casting – “The Best of All Worlds”
The best casting process to realize automotive lightweighting
The density of aluminum is 2.7g/cm³, which is only one-third of the density of steel. Considering strength, stiffness, weight reduction effect and cost, aluminum is currently the preferred material for automotive lightweighting.
More importantly, the squeeze casting process can cast aluminum parts with complex shapes, no porosity or shrinkage, high strength, high air tightness, and durability. This is just what the automotive industry needs.

The best alternative to forging and CNC machining
Forging and CNC machining can directly produce high-performance, surface-clean aluminum parts, but both processes are very costly and inefficient, and are only suitable for low-volume production.
And squeeze casting can be as efficient as die casting to produce a variety of complex, precision parts. Moreover, the performance of squeeze casting parts is far more than that of die casting, and close to that of forging and CNC parts.
If you want to make high-performance, low-cost aluminum parts quickly and in large quantities, then the aluminum squeeze casting process is the right choice for you.
