Commercial Die Casting 101: Tooling Made for Die Casting
Commercial Die Casting 101: Tooling Made for Die Casting. Nowadays, die casting is popular choice for metal-working in large scale productions. Modern automotive, aircraft and related industries require metal parts that are tough and durable. Die casting, other than being a shaping process, is inherently a metal treatment. The final product exhibits high yield and resistance to multi-directional loading. Here is a set of components and tooling made for die casting:
The most important elements in the method are the dies. A pair of cover and ejector halves is required to start the process. They contain the shape that the molten metal will follow. Unlike other types of casting, dies can produce very detailed pieces in just one processing. However, these parts must be kept clean and lubricated on every operation.
The cover die has an opening that receives the molten metal. It must be carefully lubricated so that the final product will be smooth. Another tooling made for die casting is the set of ejector pins, which are connected to the ejector die. They facilitate quick dropping of the solidified metal. In traditional methods like sand casting, you have to remove the final products from the mold manually.
Another important tooling made for die casting is the fluid line system. Water lines are used to feed water into the machine during compression. Water serves as lubricant and coolant to the contacting parts. Gas escape lines, on the other hand, allow gas to escape from the metal during shaping. If gasses are not allowed to escape, gas bubbles may be trapped in the finished product. Gas bubbles are indicators of high porosity, making the piece weaker to tensional stresses.

Metal vs. Plastic: Die Castings Used for Audio Speakers
Metal vs. Plastic: Die Castings Used for Audio Speakers. Examine your sub-woofer speaker closely. Can you tell if it is made from aluminum or plastic? Aluminum die castings used for audio speakers are a popular application of die-casting as a machining procedure. These types of speakers are very similar with plastic-built ones, and they have several advantages too.
Many speaker brands use plastic as frames and fixtures of their speakers. They are shaped through soft molding, where molten plastic takes the shape of the mold. Plastic is desired because it is cheaper and easy to manufacture compared with metals. The market patronizes plastic-built speakers because they are light and easy to carry around.
However, there is a recent problem with plastics in terms of toxicity and recyclability. Hence, die castings used for audio speakers have become more popular. Aluminum is widely used for speaker frames and internal fixtures. Plastics need several treatments for them to be tough. They need plasticizers and conditioners. Aluminum, on the other hand, is already tough and durable by itself. Especially because it undergoes cold-chamber die casting, aluminum speaker parts exhibit low brittleness and good elasticity. It fights on par even with the best treated plastics. Aluminum is also very light.
Aluminum die castings used for audio speakers are made from high pressure molding. The molten aluminum is injected to a pair of dies. Then, pressures of 10 to 175 mega Pascal are applied until the shaped metal solidifies. The resulting product is stiff and non-toxic, and it is easily recyclable. Just disassemble it and it can be processed again.

Exploring the Process of High Pressure Die Casting
Exploring the Process of High Pressure Die Casting. The process of high pressure die casting is one of the fastest and cost effective methods in shaping metal products. Many manufacturing companies in the fields of automotive, aircraft and electronics use die casting as the primary metal working procedure. It produces high quality products with strong yield and fine finish. It provides strength treatment which is far better than forging, extrusion or sand casting.
The procedure involves two dies: the cover die half and the ejector die half. Between them is the mold cavity. When the dies are fitted together, the plane of intersection is called the parting line. During metal working, molten metal is forced to the mold through an opening in the cover die. This is done with very high speeds, due to the high pressure of injection. These are called “shots.” While the metal is still in liquid form, extreme pressure is applied, compressing the dies. This will be maintained until the metal solidifies.
The process of high pressure die casting is further divided into two groups: cold chamber and hot chamber processes. Basically, both employ high pressure shooting and compression of the molten metal. However, hot processes can only be used on metals with lower melting point. These include copper. Cold processes are used on high melting point metals like aluminum and magnesium. Cold processes take a relatively longer time before the shot is compressed at the dies.
In both methods, the process of high pressure die casting is consistent in producing tough products. They are highly resistant to torsional and tensional stresses, making die casting popular in multiple industries.

On Die Casting Parts Production: Can I Get Custom Metal Parts or Prototype Parts?
On Die Casting Parts Production: Can I Get Custom Metal Parts or Prototype Parts? “Can I get custom metal parts or prototype parts?” This might be the question that you will probably ask out after you have convinced yourself to try the metal die casting parts for your enterprise. In most cases, the answer is yes. Of course, there are dedicated die casting companies that will allow you to see the protoype parts of what you intend to order from them. This is being done by the said firms in order for you to assess the parts physically before they run the mass production.
Prototype and custom metal parts are obtainable for a variety of options. The first one is through the SLA process. SLA is spelled as “Stereo Lithography”. In this process, the prototype parts are created from a plastic that is highly fragile. The parts may easily break when dropped.
The next option is through the prototype castings. Here, a unique SLA is used as a pattern for creating several castings. Unlike with the above process, the prototype castings use metal instead of plastic. The prototype parts almost resemble the design of the original parts that have been requested.
Generally, the prototypes are produced within four to six weeks. They are later delivered to the clients for assessment. Custom parts are also available through a process called CNC machining. The custom parts are often manufactured from heavy-duty metals.

Maximizing Roof Tiles Production with New Roofing Tilemolds
Maximizing Roof Tiles Production with New Roofing Tile molds. Aluminum is a kind of metal that has a long history of utilization in the construction industry. Several roofing firms have found out that aluminum provides a good material for tile molds. In order for a company to produce thousands of roof tiles a day, it should have a sufficient amount of tile molds at hand. However, it may not be possible for a roofing company to acquire such huge amount of molds. This is the reason why the die casting companies are now offering the construction firms their new roofing tilemolds, which are made of aluminum.
There are some die casting companies that are able to produce aluminum roofing tile molds at a large scale. The companies themselves are operating through a process called extrusion, which is basically the key to multiple productions of aluminum items. The aluminum tile molds are likely to aid the construction firms in the manufacture of concrete roof tiles.
All of the roof tiles that are fabricated from aluminum molds have the same design and strength as the ones that are originally produced by the construction firms. The aluminum molds are also more affordable than those that are made of steel. Aluminum is a lightweight metal that can be easily transferred from place to place. Because of this, the shipping costs for aluminum molds are less expensive compared to steel molds.
