Die Casting

Die Casting. Die casting is a very ordinary method of producing metal parts. In the method of high pressure die casting, melted metal alloy such as aluminum alloy is inserted into a mold called a die like zinc die cast tooling. The metal is left in the steel mold until it hardens and then it is detached.

There are two types of machines that are utilized in die casting. First is the hot chamber machine, also called piston or gooseneck machine, and the second is the cold chamber machine. The hot chamber machine has the metal injection device, or gooseneck, submerged in the melted metal within the holding furnace. This machine works by having the gas or oil-powered piston retracted and allowing the melted metal to fill the gooseneck. The melted metal is then forced out of the gooseneck by the piston and the metal goes into the die. Not all metal alloys can be utilized in the hot chamber machine. Due to this, cold chamber die castings must be made. Aluminum and metals with high melting points like copper, magnesium, and zinc alloys require the cold chamber machine. The cold chamber machine does not have the piston absorbed in the melted metal. Before utilizing the cold chamber machine, the metal must be liquefied first in a disconnected furnace. Then the liquefied metal is brought to the cold chamber machine and injected into a cylinder and a hydraulic piston forces the metal into the die. Cold chamber die castings take longer to manufacture because the metal has to be melted in an separate furnace.

It doesn’t matter whether parts are hot chamber or cold chamber die castings. Both these products are completed using the magnificent manufacturing method known as die casting. Therefore, you will have products such as die cast speaker, aluminum die cast boxes, and aluminum heatsinks.
