Salt Core Technology

Components appropriate for salt core process

Aluminum high-pressure die casting is a widely used manufacturing process known for its high efficiency and precision. However, producing parts with undercut shapes—features that interfere with the mold opening direction—poses significant challenges. Traditional solutions, such as slide cores or multi-part molds, increase complexity, costs, and limit design flexibility. Application of Salt Core Technology for Undercut
