Different Forms of Die Casting Tooling
Die casting tooling can also be called insert die, die casting molds, or die casting dies. They can come in various forms, styles, and sizes. One of the forms of die casting tooling is the die cast tooling inserts. They are the least expensive among the tooling that requires heat-treating so that the life of the insert will be extended. The tooling life is the number of parts possible to be made in the inserts. The other form is the Prototype die casting tooling insert. They are the same with the first form of tooling but the only difference is that this type need not be heat-treated and can be damaged easily.
The next type is die casting unit die tooling and this is smaller than the complete mold but larger than the inserts. It also uses more steel compared to the inserts and less steel than the complete mold.
Complete Class A die casting die fits into the die casting machine without the use of any base or holder. This type produces better quality parts and more die life. It has waterlines and trim dies that can speed up the production.
Die casting Family Mold tooling has many cavity die inserts that can process single or multiple parts each cycle. It should be removed from the machine when changing inserts so it is costly and not time efficient.
Trim dies can save time in production and cut the excess alloy in the parts produced. They are mounted into a trim press and are pressed together with tons of pressure.
