Questions answered about the Die Casting Process 2020

Die Casting: Some Questions Answered. What is a die? A die is also sometimes called a mold, is tooling to produce die cast parts. A die cast tool is a metal block tool used to make die casting parts. What is die casting? Die casting is the process by which the metalworking industry manufacture and fabricate metal parts; it is a way of forming metal objects by injecting molten metal into a die cast tool or a die cast mold under high pressure. Many copies can be made, over 100,000 parts from each die casting tool, thereby making it an economical process. It is ideal for mass production.

What metal parts can be fabricated using the die casting process? In the automobile industry, this is how cylinder heads and engine blocks are made. Tiny sewing machine parts can also be made in this way, as well as parts for medical devices and refrigeration units, for it is a precision process that creates a precision product. The finished product of a die cast mold has good surface finish, good detail even if it has a complicated design, and it is sharply outlined.

Tooling for die casting is made of steel. What are the kinds of metals used in die casting parts? The metals have to have a low melting point, and they are usually non ferrous (meaning they do not contain iron). Examples of these kinds of metal and metal alloys are zinc alloy, magnesium, tin and lead, brass, aluminum alloy, and copper.

What are the characteristics of a die cast metal? Die casting parts using the prescribed metals make them tough, well-built, heat resistant, stable and molded with precise dimensions. There are various finishing techniques available to metal parts that are made using the die casting process, your choice of smooth or textured, plated or finished some other way.

Die Casting Molds 2020

Die Casting Molds. Aluminum die casting is the method for manufacturers to fulfill orders for large quantities of small to medium sized metal parts. This versatile process has been placed among the highest volume products made by the metalwork industry.

The process of die casting starts off with molten metal. This molten metal is then forced into the Die Casting Molds in a high pressure environment. After which, they are then machined into dies. This process results in the metal parts to be consistent in their dimensions, with high quality and good detail. For most of the time, die casting makes use of non ferrous metals such as tin, aluminum, zinc and copper among others but ferrous metals can also be used in this process. However, harder and stronger metals such as steel and iron cannot be used in this process; instead they are used to make Die Casting Molds.

These die cast molds come in a number of different shapes and sizes. Some can be made as single cavity molds which can make one part for every cycle or multiple cavity molds which can make several parts in a single cycle. Their shape and design would determine the cost of these molds; the more complex the design then the higher the cost of the mold would be. They can be very expensive, ranging from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars per mold.

When the molten metal is placed into the Die Casting Mold, they are then placed in either a hot chambered machine or cold chambered machine to complete the process.

Die Casting Mold 2020

Rooftile Die Cast Mold

Die Casting Molds. Perhaps the most important tool used in die casting is the different Die Casting Molds used. These molds are responsible in shaping the molten metal which is placed in them. They mold the metal into the desired shape of the manufacturer. But, what is die casting any way?

Die casting is a metalworking process that is best used by manufacturers to create a large quantity of small sized to medium sized parts in a short amount of time. This is done first by melting the metal, usually non ferrous metals such as aluminum, lead, magnesium or zinc among others, then forcing them into the Die Casting Molds. The molds are then machined into dies to create the parts and complete the process.

The machines responsible for machining these molds in dies are known as hot chambered die casting machines and cold chambered die casting machines. The hot chambered machines can accomplish the task with fewer cycles involved in the process; in other words it can accomplish the task faster compared to a cold chambered machine. The latter is used by manufacturers in cases where in the hot chambered machine cannot accommodate the alloy being used. They complete the task slower because the metal needs to be melted in a separate furnace and the time it takes to transfer them into the machine makes the difference.

The Die Casting Molds used in these machines can be rather expensive. They are built from hardened metal and could cost as much as several thousand dollars.

Porosity in Die Cast Parts Process 2020

The steel die cavity is sprayed with a liquid release agent to prevent the molten metal from sticking to the steel cavity. Much like the cook will spray a pan before baking a cake. The spray dissipates into steam because the die is very hot. Porosity is natural in the Die Casting Process. The molten metal is squirted at a very fast speed and under extreme pressure into the die. It is like a running water hose with a thumb on the nozzle. The metal is moving very rapidly as it is forcibly injected into a steel die cavity, the metal picks up voids and air bubbles from the steam and the turbulence of the injection. The metal is squeezed into the die with a piston to evacuate or to remove and compress most of the voids and air pockets. Those voids and air pockets are called die casting porosity. It is a natural occurrence in the production of die casting parts. To read more about die casting porosity, review our web page: https://www.kineticdiecasting.com/porosity.html

The Advantages of Aluminum Handle Hardware Parts over Plastic Parts 2020

The advantages of Aluminum Handle Hardware over plastic. Aluminum handles are probably the most common aluminum product that we use and see in our everyday lives. From door handles to cabinet handles, to handles used for carrying electronic devices and industrial equipment, aluminum handles are present everywhere we look, even though they are not the first thing that we notice. The important thing for us is that it provides convenience and ease of use of the things that they are attached to.

Handles can come in many different forms, sizes and materials. Aside from aluminum, plastic, stainless steel, brass and wrought iron are some of the other materials used in making handles. If you look closely, however, you will notice that aluminum and plastic are two of the most widely used raw materials in making handle hardware. This is because both plastic and aluminum are easier to fashion into handles through molds or die cast, in the case of aluminum. Also, compared to other metals, aluminum is a lot lighter, which makes it more practical to use.

But how does aluminum handle hardware compare with plastic? And which of the two is better? It is a common misconception that plastic is cheaper than aluminum. This is a misconception because the comparative costs depend highly on the grade of the plastic. You can get a cheaper plastic alternative for a low cost but you can be sure that the quality and durability are not the same as what you will get from aluminum. Also, plastic deteriorates with continued exposure to elements. On the contrary, aluminum is by nature durable, and is able to withstand the same exposure to the elements.
