Vidar Superior, an Optimal Choice for Gigacasting

Gigacasting — the process of producing large structural aluminum parts using high-pressure die casting—has been widely adopted across Asia, Europe, and North America. The increasing size of these castings necessitates significant advancements in die steel to ensure cost-effective production and extended die life. In aluminum high-pressure die casting (HPDC), the most critical failure mechanisms include heat checking, soldering, erosion, and cracking, with heat checking being the most prevalent issue.

Vidar Superior addresses these challenges with its superior performance, characterized by fewer and shallower cracks and higher impact toughness. These enhanced properties make Vidar Superior an optimal choice for applications demanding extended die life and reduced maintenance costs. By adopting Vidar Superior, manufacturers can achieve more cost-effective and reliable Gigacasting operations, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of large-scale aluminum component production.
