The Role of Die Casting Company in the Industry

The Role of Die Casting Company in the Industry. Die casting company and other businesses that create related products are hailed in the metalworking industry for producing the highest number of mass produced tools. These are distributed to commercial, consumer and industrial sectors. A die casting company supply tools that are used various products including automobile parts, sink and bathroom faucets, connectors used in houses, toys and a lot more.

The process of die casting starts by forcing the molten metal into dies of mold cavities that are under high pressure. Non-ferrous metals are commonly used by a die casting company to produce their products. Such metals or alloys will determine the strengths and other characteristics of the final output. These include aluminum, lead, tin, magnesium, zinc and copper. Nowadays, ferrous metals can also be utilized in the process. The method of casting is perfect for production of high volume of quantity of parts which may be small to medium that are good in surface quality, detail and dimensional consistency.

A die casting company should collaborate with good designers in order to create the best products that they can come up with. This must be done at an early stage of the development. This way, certain issues which may come up on tooling and production stages will be resolved early on. This will affect the overall costs of the whole production.

Related topics about die casting design can also be researched through books, trade journals, technical papers and professional leagues or associations. You will also find additional information about this on the Internet and published materials.

Die Casting Molds 101: How The System Works

Die Casting Molds 101: How The System Works.

Die casting molds can be called by a host of names including die casting tooling, die casting dies or even insert dies. However, to simplify matters, these die casting molds may be simply referred to as “die casting tooling”. Regardless as to whether the dies are used in cold chamber machine production or hot chamber machine production, the principle behind its use is the same.

Die casting tooling molds come in two halves: the cover half and the ejector half. These two pieces are usually secured with locking pins that are now automatically fastened and released. The cover half is the immovable part. This remains as is all throughout the operation and usually does not contain any holes or passageways. The ejector half, on the other hand, can be detached during production since this is integral in the automatic ejection of the pieces within the dies. This half also contains spruce holes where the molten material is allowed to be squeezed through and eventually fill up the die cavity.

With more sophisticated dies, especially those that are designed to have pieces that have holes and tubes running within, the ejector half usually contains the gates (inlets) and runners (passageways) where it can route the molten material to. When the molten has taken the desirable shape, die casting mold tooling usually utilize ejector pins to automatically remove the pieces from the dies. Some machines even have openings for coolants (to speed up the cooling process considerably) and lubricants (in preparation for the next stage in production.)

Die Casting Mold Processes

Filed under: Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , — admin @ 6:47 pm

Die Casting Mold Processes. Die casting has a similarity to permanent mold casting. The exception is metal is injected into the mold or die casting mold under the high pressure which results to a good surface finish and accurate dimension. Die casting can use cold chamber or hot chamber process.

In a cold chamber process, molten metal is gradually transferred into the cold chamber for every shot. This is useful especially for metals like Aluminum, Copper and its alloys. There is less time exposure of melt to the plunger.

In a hot chamber process, the pressure chamber is connected to the die casting tooling cavity. It is permanently immersed in the molten metal. Pressurizing cylinder inlet port is uncovered as plunger moves to open portion, which allows molten metal into the cavity. This hot chamber is useful for metals of low melting point and high fluidity. Examples are Zinc, Tin and lead that does not alloy easily with the steel.

Die casting molds and tools have a tendency to be expensive because they are produced from hardened steel and has a long cycle time to build. Also, iron and steel are very strong and hard metals and therefore cannot be die cast.

Zinc has high melt fluidity and can therefore be made to close tolerances and with thinner walls than Aluminum. It is alloyed with Aluminum and this makes it hard and strong. Casting is at fairly low temperature (425ºC). Zinc alloys are used to manufacture precision parts like connector housings, sprockets, gears, etc. Copper alloys are useful in electrical, marine and plumbing. They are corrosion and wear resistant.

Die Cast Mold Tools

Filed under: Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , — admin @ 4:34 pm

Die Casting Molds and Die Casting Tools. There are several different Die Cast Molds Tools used for the process of die casting. They can be very expensive but the returns are also great as die casting is known to generate a lot of revenue for metalwork companies which have led for it to become top if the industry in terms of revenue.

Die casting is a process used by manufacturers in the metalworking industry in order to turn molten metal into parts or whole products for their clients. The best application for this process is to fulfill large orders for the same part of the same size, shape and dimension. This results in smooth surfaces of the part, good quality detail and consistent dimensions. The process has known to work so well to a point that it post machining can be removed entirely.

The main Die Casting Molds Tools that remain to complete the process are molds, hot chambered machines and cold chambered machines. The molten metal is first forced into the mold under high pressure before the die casting mold is machined into a die cast tool. Both hot chambered die casting machines and cold chambered die casting machines have different pros and cons. The former is known to work faster compared to the cold chambered machine however the hot chambered machine cannot be used for all types of metal alloys namely zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys.

These Die Casting Tooling can be a bit expensive, but they are worth every penny as they proved the manufacturer with better profits and revenue.

Aluminum is Handy in Casting

Filed under: Aluminum Cast Parts Alloys,Aluminum Casting Parts,Die Casting Tooling — admin @ 1:15 am

Aluminum is Handy in Die Casting – Casting is a manufacturing or production process wherein a liquid material is poured in a hollow mold, the cavity of which has the manufacturer’s desired shape, and after which, allowed to solidify. Once already in its solid state, the casted material is ejected from the mold. A lot of casting done is with the use of hot liquid metal or some other materials that may cold set even after it was mixed with other components like plaster, concrete, epoxy, etc.

There are several processes in casting metals. Also, there are only few metals that may be cast by all of the mentioned metal casting processes. Aluminum is one of those metals. Aluminum casting process may be done through all of these processes namely, die casting, sand casting, plaster casting, permanent molding casting, continuous casting and investment casting. This is how handy aluminum can be when it comes to casting metals. When choosing what casting process will be used wherein aluminum will be used, two important factors are taken into account. The first one is the cost and feasibility factor and the second is the quality factor. Depending on the desired result and preference, the manufacturer will be able to determine which process would be best to adopt.

However, this process is not easily understandable to the ordinary people. Other technical terms and processes such as aluminum die casting parts prices and casting, alloy casting, mold casting, aluminum cast parts and other terminologies may not even be familiar to most materials engineers and scientists who does not have a background on metallurgical processes. People are already using a lot of cast products and they do not even have any idea how they were made or what processes were involved.
