Die casting parts: Using Cold-chamber machines in die casting
Die casting parts: Using Cold-chamber machines in die casting. Producing high quality die casting parts is no walk in the park. It needs the use of the right kind of method and the right type of machine. Most die casts are employed by the use of either hot-chamber machines or cold chamber machines. This article will outline the die casting parts involved in cold chamber machines. Like the hot-chamber machine, the efficiency of the cold chamber machine is evaluated using its capacity to employ the needed amount of clamping force required for die casting.
Cold-chamber machines are preferably employed when the chosen casting alloy cannot be handled and used with a hot chamber machine. Examples of these alloys include aluminium, and zinc alloys with a large composition of copper, magnesium and aluminium. The cold-chamber machine acts by first melting the metal in a separate compartment. Next, an exact amount of molten metal is transferred from the melting furnace to the cold chamber machine where the metal is then introduced into an injection cylinder which is an unheated shot chamber. The shot is forced into the die via a mechanical or hydraulic piston. Although it is able to handle aluminum-based alloys, the cold-chamber machine has a slower cycle time compared to the hot-chamber machine.

Who uses die casting? : The Humble Beginnings of Die Casting
Who uses die casting? : The Humble Beginnings of Die Casting. People in the metal work industry are very familiar with the process of die casting. For those who just learned of the term, die casting is the process of molding metal to suit a mold cast under high pressure. It may be just a simple process of manipulating metal to suit certain shapes, but the applications of die casting to the metalworking industry are very varied that they find utility in almost all fields of goods production.
The first die casting equipment set was first invented in the year 1838. During this time, the die cast was intended to produce movable types for printing presses. Later on, in 1849, the first patent for a die cast equipment was filed for an undersized hand-operated device that serves the purpose of mechanizing the production of print types. The publishing industry then achieved a milestone in 1885 when Otto Mergenthaler successfully invented the linotype machine. This invention is an automated kind of casting mechanism that has become the conventional type of printing equipment up to this day. It wasn’t long when other applications of die casting were discovered paving way to the rapid growth and production of appliances and other goods, especially small intricate parts, in high volumes.

Die casting parts: the die casting tool
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.

Die casting parts: Using Hot-chamber machines in die casting
Die casting parts: Using Hot-chamber machines in die casting. In order to successfully produce great quality die casting parts, two-types of die casting machines are used, the hot chamber machines, also known as gooseneck machines, and the cold chamber machines. The efficiency of each machine is measured by their ability to apply the needed clamping force for casting. Standard ratings may range from 400 to 4,000 short tons. This article is going to outline the process involved in using a hot-chamber machine for die casting.
Hot-chamber machines works to feed the die by relying on a pool of molten metal. With the start of each cycle, the machine piston is withdrawn and allows the molten metal to rapidly fill the gooseneck. This is also the reason why this is also called a gooseneck machine. The piston, either powered by oil or gas, then pushes the molten metal out of the gooseneck and directly into the die. This system is preferred because of the relatively fast and rapid cycle times it is able to accomplish and the ease by which the metal is conveniently melted within the casting machine. Because the system cannot employ metals with high melting points, and since it cannot also employ aluminum because of its ability to absorb some of the iron in the cast, the hot-chamber machines usually uses tin, zinc and lead based alloys.

Die casting parts: The steps involved in the process of die casting
Die casting parts: The steps involved in the process of die casting. During the die casting process, these are the basic steps that are being followed.
The first part involves spraying the mold with lubricant. This enhances the removal of the casting later on, and at the same time helps control the temperature of the die. The mold is then closed and then molten metal is introduced into the die under high pressures ranging from 1,500 to 25,000 psi. The die is then filled completely, and the pressure is constantly checked and maintained until the casting has securely solidified. The die is then opened, and the shot are then ejected by the use of ejector pins. Shots differ from castings since there are a number of multiple cavities within a die, producing multiple castings in one shot. Ultimately, the scraps are separated from the casting. Scraps include the gates, sprues, runners and flash. The scraps are usually removed by the use of a special trim die located inside a hydraulic or power press.
A more conventional method is employed by separating the scraps by sawing or by hand. This often requires grinding in order to smoothen out the scrap marks. Scraps that come off from this process are usually recycled by re-melting and are then used up again in another die casting process.
