Forge & Foundry

Forge & Foundry's Laser Ceramic Plunger Tip for HPDC is a specialized, high-performance component designed for High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) machines. It features a special cast steel substrate with a surface hardened by laser equipment, creating a durable ceramic layer. This innovative design significantly enhances wear resistance, extends lifespan (often 5 times longer than regular tips, with typical lifespans of 10,000 to 20,000 shots), and improves thermal insulation. Grooves on the tip's surface optimize lubricant distribution, further reducing friction and ensuring smooth, consistent molten metal flow, which leads to improved casting quality and reduced downtime in high-volume production.
