Die Casting Aluminum Information
Die Casting, A Brief Description:
Diecasting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under pressure,
into a hardened steel die or also called mold. Dies are often water-cooled. Dies are then opened,
and the die castings are ejected (many times thousands of parts each day, sometimes only a few
hundred). Once the tooling is paid for, die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process.
