What is SQUEEZE Casting ? SQUEEZE Casting is a sophisticated high pressure die casting process which successfully eliminates most problems associated with die casting.

SQUEEZE Casting will provide better mechanical properties, lower porosity, finer grain structure and excellent finish to the product by applying high pressure (100 MPa = 1,000 kg/cm' = 1,4,000 p'>i)
