What is the difference between “Low Pressure” and “High Pressure” Die Casting Parts?
High Pressure Die Casting Parts. What is the difference between “Low Pressure” and “High Pressure” Die Casting Parts?
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes high pressure die casting parts. The term “Die Casting”, in the USA means a high pressure process whereas in Europe it means a low pressure manufacturing process.
High Pressure Aluminum Die Casting? High pressure die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal (aluminum) is injected with a die casting machine under force using considerable pressure into a steel mold or die to form products. …. READ MORE: High Pressure Die Casting

Low pressure die casting is similar to sand casting. Gravity is used fill the molten metal into the mold. This process is much slower, about five minutes or more per part (less than 100 parts per day) than high pressure die casting (more than 500 parts per day), about a part every minute. The part cost for high pressure die casting is much less than low pressure die casting.

Are aluminum die casting parts stronger and cheaper than steel?
Are aluminum die casting parts stronger and cheaper than steel?
How can an aluminum die cast part be stronger than a steel weldament? Kinetic Die Casting, Inc. makes an aluminum die casting Boomerang cam lever part for a lift manufacturer that once was a two pound steel welded unit. This unit consisted of two steel plates, 1/8″ thick, with holes drilled, tapped, and welded to steel spacers with a bushing at each end, then painted. Occasionally, these units would fail in the field. Manufacturing costs ran about $7.00 per part in production quantities of 1,000 each week. Another difficulty is that it took three to four weeks to make the first steel part and only a few 100 could be produced a week. This hindered increased sales.
Kinetic Die Casting now produces these parts in aluminum die casting that weigh only 3/4 pounds; the steel unit weighed over two pounds. The aluminum die casting parts are stronger (3x greater axial load) and more reliable. There is no need for paint on the aluminum die casting parts. The Kinetic Die Casting part price of each die casting unit is less than $3.00.
Kinetic Die Casting can help you develop an aluminum die casting that will reduce weight, increase strength, and cost you less money.
Advantages of the Aluminum Die Cast Part over the Steel Weldament:
- 3x greater axial load strength.
- Fewer part failures in the field and fewer returns to the OEM.
- Part weight is 2.5x less in aluminum saving money in shipping cost.
- Production quantities (1,000’s) within a few days instead of weeks as before.
- Production rate is faster as an aluminum die cast part.
- Raw part manufacturing cost is 2.3x less as an aluminum die cast part.
- Finishing cost is less as an aluminum die cast part.
- Better looking parts as a die cast part.

How Die Casting Part Prices are Established
Die Casting Part Pricing – How Die Casting Part Prices are Established.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has a specific pricing model that is similar and also different from our competitors. Here are a few issues to think about when asking for a die casting part price.
- Die Casting Part Size
- Die Casting Part Weight
- Die Casting Material Type
- Inspection Requirements
- Die Casting Part Quantity
- Die Casting Part Tolerances
- Die Casting Part Specifications
- Die Casting Tooling Types
- Additional Labor Needs
- Die Casting Part Secondary Finishing
- Other Fees
The die casting part size and weight effect the part price in a few ways, cycle times or parts per hour, the machine tonnage size required to produce the parts and the part material cost, which also relates to the die casting material type.
The inspection requirements can vary depending on if a (1) visual inspection, or a (2) dimensional inspection or a (3) penetration inspection or an (4) X-Ray inspection or a (5) pressure test inspection are required.
The part quantity has an effect because it will determine if some of the many “one time” or “minimum charge” fees are covered in the production lot.
Die casting part specifications and tolerances add additional labor to a simple casting through inspection and documentation.
The die casting tool can effect the part price by how many cavities are in the tool, how many slides are in the tool, whether additional labor can be removed by the tool, and also if a trim die is available. The mold type also has an effect in the set up time for tooling.
Many times additional labor are needed to complete the die casting part, like threading holes, which also adds to the part cost. Can we use high speed production machining or do we need to use CNC machines.
If there is a polish, ball burnish, bead blast, paint or anodize requirement, that will add to the part cost.
Other fees, some die casting companies charge a “Set Up Fees” or an “Environmental Fees” or an “Energy Surcharge Fees” or a packaging or pallet fee, we do not have any of these hidden fees.
Obviously, this newsletter (already too long) cannot give enough details to satisfy everyone but call us at:

and a die casting part price discussion can be scheduled.

Die Casting Part Sizes and Quantities in our Business Niche
Die Casting Part Sizes and Quantities in our Business Niche. Kinetic Die Casting Company satisfies our customers because we will only produce parts in our niche.
Die Casting Part Sizes – Largest:
Kinetic Die Casting Company limits our part size limited to about 185 square inches to match our 600 ton die casting machines. 17″ by 11″ is the largest size die casting part we will produce. We have manufactured parts larger than 185 sq.” with our die casting machines but the product quality was “less than acceptable” by our standards. In fact, we produced 100,000 parts that were 17.5″ x 14.5″ or 253 sq.” for a customer that needed an inexpensive part that was structural not aesthetic.
Die Casting Part Sizes – Smallest:
It is easier for our die casting machines and equipment to produce parts that are smaller rather than larger because the die casting pressures would not be as great. There is no functional “to small part” for our business. We do like parts that are larger than 1/4″.
Die Casting Part Quantities – Largest:
We prefer part shipments of less than 300,000 parts a year or not more than 10,000 parts a week. Our die casting niche is focused on lower quantity deliveries, not larger quantity deliveries. We do have a few customers that purchase more than 100,000 parts a year from KDC, but that is not our focus.
Die Casting Part Quantities – Smallest:
Kinetic Die Casting has no minimum part order quantity. We focus on smaller lot sizes more than most other die casting companies. We have many customers that will purchase fewer than 500 parts a delivery. We have a few customers that purchase fewer than 100 die casting parts each time they order.
