Squeeze casting, a hybrid metal forming process combining casting and forging, has emerged as a revolutionary advancement in the die casting of high-performance materials and precision-engineered components. This process involves solidification of molten metal under high pressure within a closed die set, leading to parts with enhanced mechanical properties, near-net shape capabilities, and superior surface finish. As industries demand lighter, stronger, and more reliable components, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and defense, squeeze casting offers a transformative solution. This study explores the principles, materials compatibility, technological advancements, and applications of squeeze casting, emphasizing its advantages over conventional die casting methods. The paper also investigates recent trends, identifies process limitations, and highlights areas for future research and industrial implementation. The findings underscore the importance of squeeze casting in advancing manufacturing efficiency, reducing material wastage, and achieving tight dimensional tolerances for critical components.
