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.)

Various Aluminum Casting Processes

Various Aluminum Casting Processes. Casting is a process which involves the pouring of a liquid material into a mold, which is shaped as desired, and then the liquid material is allowed to cool down to solidify. The shaped material is then ejected out of the mold afterwards.

Aluminum is one of metals that are commonly used in the casting process. There are various Aluminum casting processes, these are: sand casting, investment casting, permanent mold casting, and die casting. The simplest and the most flexible and most popular method among these is the sand casting method. It is the most cost-effective in the production of parts which require small quantities and can be used in molding any shapes through the fine sand and binder mixture. After casting, the sand molds are either hauled to land-fills or reconditioned in order for the sand to be reused. For repeatable production from various metals and high performance alloys, the use of investment casting is more appropriate. This method is commonly used for small castings and is also used in the manufacture of aircraft door frames. Investment casting, as compared to the other methods of aluminum casting process, is an expensive process. Permanent mold casting is typically used for non-ferrous metals. It is stronger and less expensive as compared to sand castings in terms of production requiring large quantities. It uses a vacuum in forcing molten aluminum into the metal molds. Among all these methods, die casting is the one which is popular in terms of usage in the aluminum casting processes. It is applicable in both ferrous and nonferrous metals and is the most appropriate in the production of parts which require more details.
