What Is The Quality Of Die Casting Parts?

Die Casting Part Quality, What Is The Quality Of Die Casting Parts?

Die casting parts are formed in a die casting tool to a specific shape and size. The variance of one die casting part to another part from the same tool after the tool is proven is very little.

The typical dimensional tolerance for a die casting part is about +/- .002″ from point to point over a short distance. Once the die casting tool is proven, the dimensions from point to point vary only a little. The blue print tolerance for a two decimal dimension (.xx) is usually +/- .015″ and the typical three decimal dimension (.xxx) tolerance is +/- .010.

The biggest variance on a die casting part are measurements:

1. From one side of the parting line to the other, or
2. Dimensions measured from a slide to another part feature.

PARTING LINE
The parting line is the area on the part where the two sides of the tool meet and create a seam in the material.

SLIDE
A slide is a solid member in the tool that creates under cuts. An undercut is a feature that can not be created by pulling the tool apart or a feature that is not perpendicular to the parting line.

Other issues such as POROSITY or FLATNESS or WALL THICKNESSES will be discussed in other newsletters.

Prototype Parts and Die Casting Parts

Prototype Parts and Die Casting Parts. We can help you develop your metal product with prototype parts. Kinetic Die Casting Company can make prototype metal parts for our customers, to use for evaluation, prior to making die casting tooling.

We have produced many types of “pre-production” or prototype parts for our customers. We have produced the following types of parts:

SLA
SLC
Sand Castings
Prototype machined parts
Custom Metal Parts …… READ MORE

We can take your 3D model and create a Stereo Lithography ( SLA ). SLA is a process that converts a three dimensional (3D) file into a plastic part in a matter of a few hours or days. Kinetic Die Casting has provided many SLA parts to prove a design for our customers.

With the SLA we can then make a SLC or Sand Casting. A SLC is when we coat the SLA with a material to create a “one up” tool …. Metal Prototype Parts

A sand casting will use the SLA to “make an impression in the sand” over an over to make a few parts.

In some cases, we can modify an existing die casting part to use as your prototype. In other cases, we can machine your parts from raw aluminum using a CNC machine.

Parting Line Flash on Die Casting Parts. What is Die Casting Parts Flash on the Parting Line?

Die Casting part tooling produces parts from two halves, (1.) the hot half and (2.) the ejector half.

Die Casting Mold Ejector Half

See more Tooling Information…. Click Here Die Casting Mold Ejector Half

Where these two halves meet is called the “parting line”. The parting line on the die casting part is where most of the hand labor is expended. On occasion, parts need to be filed or sanded on the parting line. Many times, a trim die will cut the excess flash from the parting line like a cookie cutter.

Kinetic Die Casting Company produces many types of die casting parts. Most of these parts are cleaned by use of a trim die. The trim die can save as much as 15% of the part cost and reduce the part production time by half.
