Exploring Die Casting Tooling
The Backbone of Precision Manufacturing. Die casting is a versatile manufacturing process that has become indispensable across various industries, from automotive to electronics and beyond. Central to the efficiency and precision of die casting is the tooling. Die casting tooling, often referred to as dies or molds, plays a critical role in shaping molten metal into intricate and precise components. In this article, we delve into the world of die casting tooling, exploring its importance, types, design considerations, and advancements shaping the industry.
Die casting tooling serves as the backbone of the die casting process, enabling the creation of complex shapes with tight tolerances. It consists of two main parts: the die or mold cavity, which shapes the final product, and the ejector die, which helps remove the cast part from the mold. These tools must withstand high temperatures and pressures while maintaining dimensional accuracy to ensure the production of high-quality components.
Die casting tooling can be categorized into two primary types based on their construction materials: steel and aluminum. Steel dies, typically made from tool steel or H13 steel, are known for their durability and longevity. They are well-suited for high-volume production runs and can withstand repeated cycles of heating and cooling without significant wear. On the other hand, aluminum dies offer faster heat dissipation and are often preferred for prototyping or low to medium volume production runs.
Designing die casting tooling requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Key considerations include:
Part Geometry: The complexity of the part geometry influences the design of the die cavity and the selection of appropriate gating and venting systems.
Material Selection: Choosing the right tooling material based on factors such as production volume, part complexity, and budget is crucial for achieving desired outcomes.
Cooling System: Efficient cooling channels within the die help regulate temperatures and minimize cycle times, enhancing productivity.
Draft Angles: Incorporating draft angles into the design facilitates easy ejection of the part from the mold and reduces the risk of defects such as drag marks.
Surface Finish: The surface finish of the die cavity impacts the final appearance and quality of the cast parts, necessitating proper polishing and finishing processes.
The die casting industry has witnessed significant advancements in tooling technologies in recent years, driven by the demand for higher efficiency, precision, and sustainability. Some notable advancements include:
Additive Manufacturing (AM): AM techniques, such as selective laser melting (SLM) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), enable the rapid prototyping and production of complex die components with reduced lead times.
Simulation Software: Advanced simulation software allows manufacturers to predict and optimize the die casting process, minimizing defects and optimizing tooling designs for improved performance.
Tool Coatings: Innovative coatings, such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium nitride (TiN), enhance the durability and wear resistance of die casting tooling, extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
Multi-material Tooling: Emerging technologies enable the fabrication of multi-material tooling, allowing for the integration of inserts or coatings to enhance specific properties of the die surface, such as hardness or thermal conductivity.
Die casting tooling is an integral component of the die casting process, playing a pivotal role in achieving precision, efficiency, and quality in component manufacturing. As industries continue to demand higher performance and sustainability, ongoing advancements in tooling technologies will drive innovation and shape the future of die casting. By leveraging cutting-edge design techniques, materials, and manufacturing processes, manufacturers can optimize tooling performance, reduce lead times, and unlock new possibilities in product development and production.

B. Bunch Company Closed
Kinetic Die Casting Company first started making aluminum die casting parts for B. Bunch in 2004 when C&D Die Casting Company Closed. B. Bunch Company would buy about 500 aluminum die casting parts a year or every two years. Last year, 2023, I received a call telling me that B. Bunch would be closing. I was again very sad that a great American manufacturing company would be closing. Parts can still be purchased from this website https://kbfolderparts.com/

“B. Bunch Co., Inc. shipped its first fan folding machine on April 21, 1968. Since then, the product line has expanded to more than 60 different machine types including more than 30 styles of Folders, and several different types of Sheeters, Unwinds, Rewinds, Processors as well as specialized accessory printing equipment. More than 7,500 machines have been supplied to forms and label companies, and specialized printing, paper processing plants, and data centers world- wide.”
B. Bunch, as a manufacturing company customer, always paid their invoices for die casting parts timely. B.Bunch gave very good feedback on their production part’s needs and communicated very well with our company, Kinetic Die Casting Company. We will miss the company and the people that worked there.
