When aluminum alloys, aluminum–magnesium alloys, magnesium alloys, and other metals are formed by die‑casting, it is necessary to account for the forming process, including rapid injection control (for shaping) and pressure‑holding control (for fine solidification). The forming process typically employs a piston‑accumulator system as the power source and is driven by a hydraulic servo‑controlled rapid‑forming system. As the actuating element, the hydraulic cylinder must achieve a piston‑rod speed of 8–12 m/s, necessitating the use of high‑speed servo‑driven injection cylinders to complete the injection‑forming operation. Key characteristics of these injection cylinders include:
