The demands for reduction of pollutant emission, noise as well as high safety in automobile industry has led to increased use of aluminium and magnesium alloy die casting. The process is being applied for automotive parts and components. Currently, more than 70% of die castings are utilized for automotive parts. Especially for premium cars, larger sizes of structure die castings are developed not only for power-trains and chassis but also for interior and exterior in car body. Due to the big dimensions and high complexity of the die cavities there is a requirement of premium quality of die steel. Our most popular steel grade for high pressure die casting is Dievar.

In addition to the premium steel there is a need for high quality heat treatment, surface treatment and die maintenance, all to be provided as whole engineering solution. This solution is offered by ASSAB.
