die casting

Avon PDC together with is suppliers and customers have been developing zinc and aluminium cast components since 1939. Refinements in both the alloys and the process have expanded applications into most market sectors.

Size, shape, thickness, strength and precision combine to offer unsurpassed qualities in both performance and visual aesthetics.

The basic die casting process consists of injecting molten metal under high pressure into a steel mouldcalled a die.

Die casting machines are typically rated in clamping tons equal to the amount of pressure they can exert on the die. Avon PDC machine sizes range from 20/420 tonne. Regardless of their size, the only fundamental difference ...

deep drawn metal pressings

Multiforms are able to manufacture a wide range of different metal pressings which could be described as “Deep drawn”. We would describe “Deep drawn pressings” as components where the depth measures more than 1.5 times its total diameter . . .

Multiforms are able process “deep drawn pressings” using a variety of processes including Progression or Progressive press capacity which include a range of Bruderer machines along with Transfer press technology utilizing Platarg Press machines. Multiforms are able to produce from mid volume quantities of 500 - 75,000 pcs to 1.5 million plus components a week. Multiforms can also process “Deep drawn pressings” utilising the transfer press method of manufacturing with our state of the art Platarg press capacity.

Typical Deep Drawn Metal Pressings include ...

Ferrules which could use within the hydraulic, Driveline applications

Valves used within domestic heating applications along with pumps and medical devices

Automotive valve applications

Pen and writing equipment

Audio equipment, high end stylus applications

Building and construction applications such as access flooring and building cladding components

Multiforms are able to manufacture “Deep Drawn Metal Pressings” in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous material from Mild steel to Stainless steel, copper to brass. In short Multiforms can manufacture a range of “deep drawn” metal pressings.
