Machine range is a starting point. Part geometry, alloy and acceptance criteria determine the manufacturing route. Review the equipment overview and material selection requirements.

SQUEEZE CASTING

When strength matters,
consider squeeze casting.

Combine casting design flexibility with controlled solidification under pressure. Explore a manufacturing route for structurally demanding aluminum components.

QUALITY, MADE VISIBLE

Confidence starts
with verification.

Quality requirements belong in the conversation from the start. Plan the checks that matter for your part — from material composition to dimensions and internal integrity.

  • Dimensional inspection & CMM measurement
  • Material & mechanical property testing
  • X-ray & helium leak testing capabilities

Engineering Resources
What should I include in a request for quotation?

Send a 2D drawing and, if available, a 3D model. Include material, annual quantity, critical tolerances, surface finish, inspection requirements and target timing. If a specification is still open, tell us what the component needs to do.

How do I choose between die casting and squeeze casting?

Start with geometry, production quantity and the service conditions. Conventional die casting is often considered for repeatable complex parts; squeeze casting may be evaluated where internal integrity, heat treatment or mechanical performance are priorities. The final choice needs a drawing review.

Can you supply machined and finished castings?

CEX provides tooling, casting, CNC machining and surface finishing. Define your finished-part requirements so the casting, machining allowance and final inspection can be planned together.

Can squeeze castings be T6 heat treated?

Suitable alloys, such as A356, can be evaluated for squeeze casting and T6 heat treatment. The required properties must be agreed for the selected alloy, geometry and test method; they are not a blanket guarantee for every part.

Will my drawing be publicly accessible?

Drawings submitted through this form are stored outside the public website and can be downloaded only by authorized site administrators. You can discuss confidentiality requirements with CEX before sharing sensitive project details.
