Roles of Die Casting Tooling

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 7:39 pm

Four general roles of die casting tooling and four general types of dies. Your die cast tooling has four general roles in any production process. The first role of the tooling or the die is to hold the molten metal that is fired into it and allow the molten metal to take shape. It will also provide a means for this metal to get into its rightful place where it can stay and assume the shape for which the future product is designed. The die casting die or tooling will also effectively remove the heat from the injected molten metal and for that metal to solidify over time. And finally it is expected that the dies will allow for the removal of the casting.

If there are four general roles that can be performed by the dies, there are also four general forms of dies that can be used in any industrial applications. The first type of die casting tooling is the single cavity, the one that can produce one component. The second form of tooling is the multiple-cavity that can produce a number of identical parts. This form of tooling is often used for many industrial applications like in auto industry in the manufacture of many identical auto parts at one time. The third type of the tooling used is called the unit die and this type of die has the capability to produce many different parts at one time. And lastly, the fourth type of die for use in industrial applications is the combination die that can manufacture many parts for the assembly.

Zinc Part Types

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Zinc Casting Parts — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 10:14 pm

What You Should Know About the Zinc Part Types. Due to its ductility and versatility, zinc (especially zinc alloys) has become a primary choice of manufacturers for die casting processes. Zinc die casting parts types that come from zinc die castings are very useful for making new objects in various kinds of industries. Even golfers make use of zinc part types, since majority of golf clubs are produced from zinc die castings. Automobile parts and home hardware parts like lock housings used for security purposes also uses the zinc die casting process. Its durability is tried and tested, the main reason why all these industries make use of zinc part types for die casting. With the help of new and modern technological innovations and equipment, the products of the zinc die casting process give satisfactory results like perfect dimensions, right texture of surface and precise form even if the shapes are complex. Finishing touches for the surface of the zinc die casting include processes like polishing, powder coating, chrome plating and brass coating. Nickel plating can also be done to the zinc die cast. Normally, nickel plating is applied to give the zinc part types a smooth and shiny surface.

Examples and types of zinc part types include automotive castings, bathroom faucets, handles, hooks, aerospace parts, die-cast cars, die cast toys, fire alarms, faucets, covers, carburetors, heat sinks, kitchen hardware, door handles, decorations, flanges, motorcycle grips, knobs, pumps and pump handles, pump valves, pump rotors, fishing lures, golf club putters, power tools and so much more. All these are manufactured from one common process – zinc die casting.

Die Casting Companies

Die Casting Companies. Metals are widely used nowadays from complicated things like automobiles to simple things like toys. They are widely used because of their durability compared to other materials like plastic. They are heat resistant so they can surpass higher temperatures compared to other materials. These metals are produced in many processes and one of the most common is die casting. Die casting uses different alloys such as aluminum, copper, zinc, magnesium, tin, and lead. There are many companies that offer services both for the consumers and the producers. They offer parts that can be used for production and parts that can be used for the everyday lives of the consumers.

A die casting company produces die casting parts from complex to simple ones. Companies such as this also offer different die cast tooling and maintenance of the machines. They offer different kinds of tooling such as inserts, trim dies, and casting units. These tooling have different uses and they require holders and bases at times.

Die casting companies also offer parts made from different alloys. Others specialize in one or two alloys only but some produce all alloys available. Different alloys include different combinations of alloys to produce quality parts.

Die casting companies offer parts that are made with precise procedure to attain the purpose of the die cast parts. These parts are usually for complex machines like that of the automobiles or office equipment.

These companies compete through the quality of the parts that they produce and the price of the parts that they provide. They also compete through the variety of products that they offer.

Manufacturing Aluminum Parts

Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts,Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 1:12 am

Aluminum is widely used in die casting because of the properties that it possesses. Aluminum is useful even in everyday life because that is why die casting companies produce die cast parts made from this alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance. It can also take high temperatures so the things that need to be heat resistant are usually made of aluminum alloy. The things that also need high corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity are made of aluminum. Due to its high dimensional stability, aluminum alloy is used to make thin walls and complex shapes.

Aluminum part types can depend on the combination of alloying elements such as silicon and copper. Zinc can also be used as alloying element to aluminum. The combination of the properties of the different alloys allows the production of high quality products. Silicon increases melt fluidity that is why complex parts such as connector housings and thin walls are made of aluminum with silicon. When copper is used as the alloying element, the part has increased hardness and decreased ductility.

Aluminum part types can be differentiated on the amount of alloying element present. Aluminum types are Alloy A380, A360, A369, A390, A413, and A518. They are series of aluminum alloys so expect to see alloy types with decimals. The Alloy A380 is the most common aluminum alloy used in die casting. Lawnmower housings and gears are usually made of AA 380. Escalator parts and conveyor parts are usually made of Alloy 518. Parts that need high corrosion resistance are made of Alloy A360.

Parts differ in the content of alloying element that makes the aluminum part types. They also cater to the different needs of the consumers and the producers as well. These are the most common Aluminum Alloy Types.

Die Casting Tools: Cold Chamber Machine

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 7:29 pm

Die Casting Tools: Cold Chamber Machine. Among the best advances in the die casting tooling category, there is always the creation of the machines to handle most of the work. As such, there are two kinds of machines that can create die casts on a mass production level. These are the hot chamber machine and the cold chamber machine. The hot chamber machines, as the name implies, utilizes heat from the very beginning of its process to the very end. The molten material is introduced to the dies via a heated cylinder. Even when the pieces are automatically ejected out of the die casting tooling molds, the operation relies heavily on the metal vats remaining at a continuous melting point level.

On the other hand, the cold chamber machine, despite its name, also uses molten material for its production. The difference lies in the fact that the molten material for this kind of machine is first relegated to an unheated cylinder or chamber – hence, the term cold chamber. The molten material is sealed within this chamber before injected into the waiting dies using highly pressured force.

Another major difference of the cold chamber machine versus the hot chamber one is the materials being used. Only molten materials that have relatively higher melting point are subjected to cold chamber processing. Aluminum is the most commonly used metal in cold chamber machines because it has a high melting point. Alloys that are mostly aluminum based also have higher melting point than most alloys and is therefore more suited for cold chamber production.
