Properties of Aluminum and Zinc Alloys in Pressure Die Casting and Post Treatment
Generally, die casters will use aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and so on in pressure die casting. Aluminum is the best-suited raw material for manufacturing automobile components since they are a corrosion-resistant alloy and withstand temperatures to up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Besides that, aluminum components are used in household antennas, lighting fixtures, and marine […]
Read MoreAvoiding Cold Laps in Die Casting Mold Design
Mold design is one of the most crucial aspects of the die casting process. It is employed in the die cast process to evaluate the status of the product and to prevent the occurrence of any kind of defects. Improving the mold design is the most effective way to obtain the desired results in the […]
Read MoreFactors that Influence the Choice of Colors in Anodizing of Alloys
Anodizing is a post treatment method in aluminum die casting and black hard anodizing will make an alloy somewhat corrosion free. Die casters offer post-treatment for original equipment manufacturers, but the end consumers may feel that any color can be mixed and matched whilst anodizing aluminum. However, that is not always true. Black hard anodizing […]
Read MoreA Brief Intro of Brass Die Casting
Brass die casting is a type of copper alloy die casting that has very good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, owing to the need of high metal temperatures and short life of the die casting mold, this type of die casting is not widely used. Of all the alloys used in brass die casting, […]
Read MoreUsing Die Casting Simulation for Preventing Shrinkage Porosity
Mould filling is one of the most important stages of die casting and is done with utmost care due to the probability of several defects such as shrinkage porosity and air entrapment. The poured melt is used to compress the gas, which is discharged outside via a vent. Avoiding many of the defects such as […]
Read MoreImportance of Co-Design in Die Casting
Co-designing refers to a fundamental aspect of die casting that involves collaboration among the die caster and the client for creating a product based on the required technical characteristics. This will aid in delivering a product that fits in properly with the specific technical requirements offered by the client as well as make sure it […]
Read More3 Commonly Adopted Safety Precautions in Die Casting
The North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) says that safety precautions are to be mandatorily adopted in die casting since the personal injury rate in the industry is about twice of that in other manufacturing segments. The precautions proposed by NADCA safeguard the die casters in a foundry and make sure all the die cast […]
Read MoreAbout Multi-Slide Die Casting Tools
The sole difference between multi-slide die casting and hot-chamber die casting is the build and operation of the casting tool and the equipment required to operate the tool. Hot-chamber casting employs a two-part tool making it costly and tough for die casters to make components with complex geometries in a foundry. However, multi-slide tooling is […]
Read MoreWhy Metal Injection Molding is Better than Machining
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a process that efficiently merges powered metallurgy and plastic injection molding. Die casters heavily relies on this process because it is capable of producing large quantities of precise complex parts with metals that are not suitable for die casting such as stainless steel and other low alloy steels. Machining process […]
Read MoreFoundries Purify Scrap Metal in Die Casting
Scrap metal can be made into sustainable as well as purified commodities. Recycled aluminum is one of the most popular raw materials involved in the making of mass components of automobiles. Scrap metals such as steel, cast iron, and copper can be recycled more than once just like aluminum scrap. Rather than dumping them into […]
