Casting quality in some cases is affected by blowholes which are probably the most common problem in die casting. Many of these problematic situations can be solved by filling up the blowholes using impregnation treatment after casting. However, for parts that require a hermetic seal and high strength, this method can lead to further quality issues.

At Akiba Die Casting we apply a high vacuum casting method during the casting process to prevent blowholes from occurring. This technology is rarely seen in small to medium-sized die cast manufacturers, yet is often used not only in the automotive industry but in pumps and for industrial machinery. With our quality assurance system we carry out tasks such as X-ray fluoroscopic inspection, in order to ensure excellent casting quality. We also have a high level QCD set up to meet the demands of the just-in-time production system that is specific to the automotive industry.
