Auto part lightweighting requires larger size diecasting machines

摘要

Lightweight vehicle designs demand high volumes of complex cast parts, spawning a flow of installation projects centred on larger size pressure diecasting machines. In one such program, Walker Die Casting, a Lewisburg, Tennessee producer of aluminium components for automotive and truck manufacturing, has ordered a massive 4,500-tonne cold-chamber diecasting machine from HPM North America, to be delivered in 2017.
