The Process of Die Casting. Die casting plays a big role in the manufacturing industry. It is the most competent technique of manufacturing metal parts for an assortment of types of machines including automobiles, lighting fixtures, doorknobs, and faucets. Die casting is the quickest technique for producing a big sum of parts with promptness and exactness in the measurements without the need of further finishing machines. The die casting process entails the injection of metal under high pressure into steel molds. One of the first machines to use die casting was the Mergenthaler Linotype machine in 1884.
The die casting process is contains of four major steps. The first step is spraying the mold, or die, with a lubricant. The lubricant is utilized to make it easy for the casting to be detached. Then the mold is closed. Second, molten metal is injected into the die under high pressure which is from 10 to 175 mega-Pascals (MPa) or 1,500 to 25,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is maintained until the casting is totally hardened. Then, the mold is opened and the ejector pins eject the shot. There can be numerous castings for every shot. Finally, the scrap is alienated from the casting/s by a trim die in a hydraulic press. In the past, the scrap is divided by hand or by sawing. Scraps could be recycled by melting them once more and utilizing them in the subsequent die casting process. Almost nothing is wasted in this procedure therefore die casting is one of the most cost-efficient manufacturing methods.
