The GIF image pictured above depicts Die Casting Machine as it makes metal parts. The HPDC machine part procuction process follows this sequence:
Look at the HPDC die casting machine image above
The die casting machine opens the die casting die or mold that is mounted in the machine.
The prior die casting part is removed and the die cast mold is sprayed with a coating to prevent the parts from sticking in the mold.
The die casting metal alloy is poured using a ladle into a die casting shot cylinder
The shot piston injects the metal alloy into the die casting mold.
The HPDC machine opens, the part is removed, and the process starts again.
Die Casting Process Description
Die casting is a manufacturing process to make metal parts. In die casting, a die casting company, or a die casting supplier, injects molten metal alloys into a steel die or die casting mold to make parts. High Pressure Die Casting also known as "HPDC" uses various metal die casting alloys, to make large quantities of metal production parts.
Die casting company suppliers will make thousands of these metal alloy die casting parts for OEM manufacturing customers.
There are specific metals used to make die casting parts. Most of the castings are made from an alloy made mostly from aluminum, magnesium or zinc. Look at our die casting alloys on die casting technical page - To get alloy data on die casting metals or alloys.
What are Aluminum Die Castings?
Aluminum die casting parts are called "aluminum die castings", are made in a high pressure cold chamber die casting machine. The term "Cold Chamber Die Casting" refers to a separate metal melting pot or furnace. Most die casting parts are made in the USA, are made in an aluminum alloy. High pressure aluminum die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten aluminum alloy is injected with high pressure using a die casting machine into a steel die mold or die casting tool. Die casting parts made in aluminum are made using a cold chamber die casting machine. It is called cold chamber because the melting pot is seperate from the die casting machine.

This video is a simulation of the molten aluminum metal A360 alloy flow into a two cavity die casting mold.
Because of the excellent dimensional accuracy and the smooth surfaces, most high pressure die castings require no machining except the removal of
flash around the edge and possible drilling and tapping holes. High pressure die casting production is fast and inexpensive relative to other casting
processes.
What are Zinc Die Casting Parts?
Zinc parts made using the zinc die casting process are called "zinc die castings". Zinc die castings are made in the same process as aluminum die castings except, that zinc die castings can also made as "Hot Chamber Die Castings".

Competitive Die Casting Part or Tooling Prices
Die Casting Supplier - Kinetic Die Casting Company - Kineticdc supplys die casting parts. Kineticdc uses differnet alloys to supply high pressure die
casting parts with different mechanical properties and chemical breakdowns. (Die Casting Alloys Information). Aluminum is used in 80-90% of the high pressure die casting alloys
available in the world today. In many cases aluminum high pressure die casting can replace steel, increasing strength and reducing part weight.
We produce high pressure die casting parts in small sizes of less than an ounce up to large sizes of 10 pounds.
Kineticdc usually can supply die casting parts within two weeks of receipt of your purchase order.
High Quantity Parts Die Casting Supplier
Thousands of high pressure die casting parts can be produced in a single day and supplied to pur customer. With the right die casting tooling and proper high pressure die casting
part design, we could be your die casting supplier. Kinetic Die Casting has supplied quantities of 20,000 to 30,000 high pressure die casting parts a week in some cases. We can design or
work with your designer to develop high volume high pressure die casting tooling.
Low Quantity Parts Die Casting Supplier
We will supply low quantities of high pressure die casting parts to our customers, as few as 100 high pressure die casting parts. The cost to produce
and complete the high pressure die casting parts is higher than the larger quantities, so the high pressure die casting part price is higher.
Some die cast part suppliers will not bother with quantities under several thousand, so this becomes an advantage to Kinetic Die Casting Company.
High Pressure die casting molds, sometimes referred to as high pressure die casting tooling, are made from steel
hardened to withstand high temperatures and extreme pressures. There are many types of high pressure die casting
tooling from simple inexpensive inserts to complete high pressure die casting dies that are dedicated to only one part.
Once a high pressure die casting tool is produced, the cost to make high pressure die casting parts is very little.
We have an in-house toolmaker who can make your high pressure die casting die or fit your inserts into one of our
holders at a very competitive price.

Die Casting Part Quality
The dimensional accuracy which Kinetic Die Casting maintains is one of our outstanding characteristics. We will create an "Operation Sheet" that
has all the inspection points necessary to ship you the high pressure die casting parts you want. We provide a "Certificate of Conformance" with each
shipment of high pressure die casting parts.
