Molten metal is poured into the bottom half of the pre-heated die. The upper half closes the die and applies pressure during the solidification process. Both ferrous and non-ferrous materials can be produced using this method.

Squeeze casting, also known as liquid metal forging,
is a combination of casting and forging process. The molten metal is poured into the bottom half of the pre-heated die. As the metal starts solidifying, the upper half closes the die and applies pressure during the solidification process. Both ferrous and non-ferrous materials can be produced using this method. MATERIALS ALUMINIUM: Aluminium is a very light metal with a specific weight of 2.7 g/cm. For example, the use of aluminium in vehicles reduces dead- weight and energy consumption while increasing load capacity. Its strength can be adapted to the application required by modifying the composition of its alloys. STEEL: Steel is a common material for building and forming. It makes up the frames of cars, and it's used to make a variety of machine parts. However, steel comes in a number of varieties, and one of these types is called low-carbon steel, which has different properties than those of other types of steel. LITERATURE SURVEY C.S. Goh , K.S. Soh , P.H. Oon , B.W. Chua(2009) Effect of squeeze casting parameters on the mechanical properties of AZ91Ca Mg alloys. A study on the effect of squeeze casting parameters on the mechanical properties of AZ91 Mg alloy with 2 wt.% Ca incorporated was conducted. A good combination of tensile and macro hardness properties was obtained with better mechanical properties. E. Hajjari a,M. Divandari b, A.R.Mirhabibi(2009) The effect of applied pressure on fracture surface and tensile properties of nickel coated continuous carbon fiber reinforced aluminum composites fabricated by squeeze casting. Reinforcing aluminum with carbon fibers, offers a high potential for increasing the specific strength and specific youngs modulus of these types of composites. Therefore, carbon fiber reinforced aluminum components are of great interest for the potential aerospace and automotive applications. D. Mandala, B.K.Duttab, S.C.Panigrahib(2007) Effect of wt% reinforcement on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2Mg base short steel fiber composites. Al2Mg alloy composites with varying wt% of copper-coated short steel fiber reinforced were prepared through liquid process vortex method. Steel fibers were coated with copper by electroless deposition method. It is observed that density, hardness and porosity increased with increasing wt% of fibers. There is a significant improvement in strength and hardness with addition of fibers. Liu Lei,Li Weiwei, Tang Yiping, Shen Bin, Hu Wenbin(2008) Friction and wear properties of short carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites. The friction and wear properties of short carbon fibers (SCFs) reinforced aluminum matrix composite were studied. The incorporation of SCF in Al alloy improved the wear resistance greatly.
