The research conducted in the paper highlights the importance of pressure or holding pressure in the mold cavity as a critical production parameter in the high-pressure die casting process for Al-Si alloys. The experiments revealed a direct correlation between the pressure or holding pressure in the mold cavity and the mechanical properties of the castings, including ultimate tensile strength, percentage share of porosity, and the structure of the alloys. The results of the experiments showed that increasing the pressure or holding pressure in the mold cavity led to an increase in ultimate tensile strength and a reduction in the porosity of the castings. The higher pressure or holding pressure also resulted in the elimination of pores in the casting, which further improved its mechanical properties. The increase in ultimate tensile strength and reduction in porosity can be attributed to the better filling of the mold cavity, leading to reduced air entrapment and porosity in the castings. Overall, this paper emphasizes the need for optimizing the technological parameters of the die casting process to ensure the high-quality and efficient production of castings with reduced defects. The results of this study suggest that controlling the pressure or holding pressure in the mold cavity can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the castings, which is essential for achieving the desired quality standards.
