Aluminum Die Cast Parts Process. One of the aluminum casting processes is the die casting. Die casting involves the injection of a molten metal into steel molds or die which is under high pressure. Aluminum alloys are widely used in die casting processes, and die casting method on the other hand, is the mostly used casting method as compared to other aluminum cast parts processes. Two-thirds of the world’s aluminum alloys are produced through aluminum die cast part process. Die casting method is more appropriate for applications which require bulk production of parts with small to medium size. Die casting is also preferable in the production of parts which are more detailed and which require more refined surface quality and dimensional consistency.
Aluminum die casting process involves four steps. First, a lubricant is sprayed in the mold and then the mold is closed. The lubricant will help to control the temperature of the die and it will make the removal of the casting easier. Then, the molten metal will be injected into the mold under high pressure. The high-pressured injection is necessary to fill up the die quickly before the casting solidifies. The mold will be filled and will continuously be kept under pressure until the molten metal solidifies. Afterwards, the mold is opened and the cast part is removed.
Aluminum cast parts process are used in the production of aluminum alloys to be used in lawnmower housings, streetlamps housings, typewriter frames, dental equipment, frying skillets, cover plates, instrument cases, escalator parts, conveyor components, aircraft and marine hardware and lit tings and outboard motor parts.
