Die casting parts: the die casting tool. Die casting tools, more commonly called dies for short are usually composed of steel alloy tools that can be divided into two parts: (1) the fixed die, or cover half, and (2) the ejector die half. This arrangement allows for the removal of the castings after the whole process.

Contemporary dies feature mobile slides, or other sections to generate threads, holes and other preferred shapes while casting. For instance, the Sprue holes located in the fixed die half permit the molten metal to go into the die and successfully fill up the cavity. The use of the ejector die half is that it often contains the runners or passageways and gates or inlets that connect the molten metal into the cavity. The typical die includes ejector pins that allow removal of the cast par, locking pins that lock the two die halves into place, and a series of openings or holes for the lubricant and coolant.

Four types of dies are generally available. These are (1) Single cavity dies that are able to produce one part; (2) Multiple cavity dies that generate many identical parts; (3) Unit dies that produce different parts in one go; and (4) Combination dies that can make various parts suited for an assembly.
