Die Casting Porosity and Its Causes. Die Casting porosity is one of the most common-place defects in the die casting manufacturing industry. What is die casting porosity? Die Casting porosity is a type of die casting factory inadequacy in which the die cast parts have minuscule spaces which covers air within the metal – later, the die cast parts become porous. The porosity of die casting parts could deteriorate the parts itself if the spaces or holes are very big.

To plainly understand the causes of the porosity one must know the rudimentary of the die casting procedure. In a nutshell, die casting procedure includes molding molten metal by inserting it inside a squat cylinder, and then a great force is applied by a piston connected on the cylinder, pushing the melted metal so it would take the form of the die cast die or die cast mold. Throughout this process, the metal is forced along with the air inside of the cylinder to the die casting mold.

Die casting porosity could be extra by numerous factors like the following:

•

Die casting machine pressures.

•

Temperature of the metal and the mold.

•

The cleanliness of the materials used.

•

Design of the die casting tool.

•

Design of the die casting part.

•

The shot speed of the die casting machine utilized.

•

Die casting mold release or die casting spray

Die casting manufacturers use metals that are non-ferrous or metals that don’t have iron. It is because iron content is the principal reason for oxidation and rusting. Non-ferrous metals comprise of magnesium, tin, lead, copper, zinc and aluminum.
