Short answer for buyers: For hogedrukgieten programs at MINDWELL, the practical shortlist is magnesium, zinc, and aluminum—with magnesium as our focus. Titanium is widely used in aerospace/medical machining and wrought forms; it is not a MINDWELL HPDC flagship offering—treat Ti rows below as industry context only.

Process
| Alloy family | Typical net-shape route (industry) | At MINDWELL |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium | HPDC very common | Yes — HPDC up to 1600T (LK) |
| Magnesium | HPDC for lightweight parts | Yes — focus |
| Zink | Hot-chamber HPDC common for smaller precision parts | Yes |
| Titanium | Usually forging / machining / powder routes—not mainstream HPDC | Not a HPDC main push |
Material
Approximate industry-order-of-magnitude density (solid, ~room temp; not lab certificates):
| Family | Density (approx.) | Why buyers pick it | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | ~1.7–1.8 g/cm³ | Lowest density of the three HPDC metals; specific strength / damping | Melt handling, corrosion design, finish plan |
| Aluminium | ~2.6–2.8 g/cm³ | Balanced properties, huge ecosystem | Heavier than Mg for same volume |
| Zink | ~6.6–6.7 g/cm³ | Excellent fill for small/precise features; good as-cast detail | Heavier; not for ultra-light goals |
| Titanium (industry context; not our HPDC main push) | ~4.4–4.5 g/cm³ (alloy-dependent) | High strength / corrosion in wrought & machined parts | Cost, machining difficulty; not our HPDC catalog focus |
Strength/hardness “rankings” depend on temper, alloy, and process—avoid one-number championship claims. For HPDC selection among Mg/Zn/Al, use part function + DFM, not hardness tables alone.
Grades: Magnesium — commonly offered AZ91D, AM50A, AM60B (final grade per drawing / RFQ). Zinc / aluminum grades per RFQ. Titanium grades are not listed as MINDWELL HPDC supply items.
Applications
- Mg: weight-critical housings/brackets — Magnesium alloys
- Al: structural housings, heat-sink class — Custom die casting
- Zn: small precise hardware-class castings
- Ti: industry reference only; ask only if you need machining discussion—not positioned as a die-cast Ti shop

Why MINDWELL
- Clarifies which three alloys we actually die-cast.
- Keeps titanium visible for SEO/readers without false capability.
- Points Mg-interested buyers to the flagship page.
FAQ
Q: Do you die-cast titanium?
A: Titanium is listed here for property context. MINDWELL’s HPDC focus is Al / Zn / Mg. Ti programs are not marketed as a die-casting main line.
Q: Which is lightest for HPDC?
A: Among our three, magnesium has the lowest density class—validate with DFM.
Q: Can you help choose Mg vs Al?
A: Yes — How to choose.
Q: Zinc vs aluminum for connectors/small parts?
A: Zinc often fills fine features well; aluminum when weight or thermal conductivity dominates—quote both if unsure.
Q: Lead time?
A: Lead time quoted after DFM; we do not publish fixed week counts.
