Die casting is a permanent mold manufacturing process that was developed in the early 1900’s. Die casting manufacture is characteristic in that it uses large amounts of pressure to force molten metal through the mold. Since so much pressure is used to ensure the flow of metal through the mold, metal castings with great surface […]
Casting metal is an ancient process that now can be accomplished in a number of ways. It involves pouring molten metal into a mold where, upon cooling, the metal solidifies and conforms to the mold’s shape. Casting allows manufacturers to create complex parts without the need for machining, which can be time-consuming and complicated; however, […]
Die casting is a popular manufacturing process for the casting of metal products. There are two main die casting process types and several variations in process design. When molten metal is forced into mold cavities at high pressure, it is known as die casting. The process is best suited for speedy production of bulk metallic […]
The die casting process uses steel dies into which metal is forced under pressure through a runner and gate to fill the dies. The pressure (70 to 5000 kg/cm2) is maintained while the casting solidifies after which the dies are separated, cores are withdrawn and the casting is ejected. Metals and alloys that are die […]
Have you ever wondered how intricate automobile parts like starter motor brackets, flywheel, solenoid valves, and the likes are produced? Or, perhaps, the massive machine and equipment parts? How about those Hot Wheels toy car collections that kids love? The answer: die casting. Die casting is an industrial manufacturing process that uses tool dies, which […]
