Die casting Tooling and Inserts. Die cast tooling are called insert die or die casting molds, or casting dies. They are available in several sizes, values and styles. Costs of die cast tooling vary. Trim dies cost about a few hundred dollars. Cavity inserts cost a few thousand dollars, while the large part complete die cast tool package cost about several thousand dollars or more. The least expensive form of die cast tooling is the die casting tooling inserts. These high pressure inserts are only sufficient steel to manufacture the cavities and a little more steel to accommodate the fluctuation of molten metal temperature. In order to extend the tooling life of these inserts, heat treating to the proper hardness is required. Too hard cavity inserts will result to failure from the high temperature of the molten metal. This will crack the steel. On the other hand, too soft cavity inserts will result to quick damage and wear due to extension of the molten metal injecting under force.

When a die casting tool maker has no sufficient knowledge or experience, or does not follow the American Die Casting Standards, there is a risk that he will not use enough steel in the die cast insert. This will result to a lesser potential life of the inserts.

The Prototype Die Casting Tooling Inserts has similar information as the die casting tooling insert. The only difference is the die casting tooling is of lower grade steel and not heat treated. This type of insert is less costly than a hardened cavity insert. Also, it can be produced in a shorter time. This tool, however, is damaged more easily. It cannot be altered or modified easily.

Our Die Casting Company

Our Die Casting Company. The die casting industry is the most imperative industry in the United States. Ninety percent of all completed manufactured products contain die cast parts. Every die casting company contributes to the 7.3 billion-dollars that the country’s economy makes every year. That’s a lot of money!

When searching for a die casting company for your business, it is best to inquire at the North American Die Casters Association (NADCA) to ensure that you will not have future disputes with this die casting company. There are many companies that sell metal parts at a cheaper cost but some of these companies produce metal parts that don’t meet the strict standards. This might endanger your business by making your products have poor quality. You might be cutting down on your production cost but you are taking a huge risk for your business. It is best to go with an American die casting company than a company located offshore. Offshore companies are prone to cancellations of commitments and to have delays in producing die cast parts. Most of them demand an advance payment but might not complete the job. It would be very difficult to track them down. These companies may also be using un-certified metal alloys and unknown materials which add to the possibility of product failures.

Choose an American die casting company because they meet the firm standards of the NADCA in die casting. They can be monitored and be held responsible for any failures and actions that might affect your business.
