Processing Motor Vehicle Die Cast Parts. Many automotive parts companies are now using die casting. It is a metal-working procedure which is intended for large scale productions. Motor vehicle die cast parts are known for ease in production and performance against multi-directional stresses. These parts are used as stationary parts like the vehicle frame and engine fixtures. They are also intended for mechanical parts like gears, engines and chains.

Die casting and its variants always compress molten or semi-molten metals. Hence, pressure and temperature are always important factors. As for motor vehicle die cast parts, they are usually created through cold chamber die casting. The type of casting depends on the type of metal. Majority of metal products in the automotive industry utilize aluminum and magnesium. Cold chamber method is the one appropriate for such high-melting point metals.

The metal is melted in a separate furnace. As it is cooling down, it will be transported to the dies, which contain the target shape. Depending on the strength specifications and type of metal, pressures between 10 to 175 mPa will be maintained until the metal solidifies. This can produce a wide range of shapes from the simple to the intricate: rods, bars, billets, planes and fixtures. They require little or no post machining because die casting results in precise shapes and thickness.

Motor vehicle die cast parts include engine blocks and some gears, which are mostly made of aluminum and magnesium casts. The combination of these two metals is very tough, even when subjected to repeated load and high temperatures.
