Gas Defects and its Preventive Methods Used in Metal Casting
The process of die casting involves several steps, the most important being the injection of the molten metal. During this process, several defects can occur that can affect the physical properties of the finished component. One such issue is gases, which may become trapped during the injection of the molten metal. The absorption of gases […]
Read MoreWhy Malleable Aluminum is Used in Different Manufacturing Techniques
Foundries use aluminum alloys in the production of durable aluminum components including everything from automobile parts to soft drink cans. Aluminum is a malleable metal and gives certain economies of scale to the die casters in Mexico and foundries all over the world. Some of the main production methods of aluminum parts are alternative forming, […]
Read MoreHow Casting Residues May Form in Die Casting and How They are Eliminated
Die casting companies apply a surface finish on the casting in order to enhance the aesthetics and the durability of the component. However, prior to using techniques such as powder coating or anodizing for that, the material on the part has to be removed completely in order to apply the extra layer of coating on […]
Read MoreWhy Foundries use Water-Based Mold Release Agents in De-Molding
The Mexican die casters and the foundries world over use water-based mold release agents in de-molding phase, as it is one of the best practices in high-pressure die casting. In fact, de-molding is an important phase where the casting is obtained using the mold release agents. In order to execute the whole metallurgical process with […]

Die casting is a manufacturing process that is much economical and efficient in producing a wide range of components and shapes when compared to many other processes. One of the biggest advantages of die casting when compared to other manufacturing processes is that it offers a basic part with many add-ons that can eliminate the […]
Read MoreCommon Defects in High Pressure Die Casting and How Die Casters Tackle Them
Die casters integrate tool and maintenance unit in the foundry to tackle the commonly occurred defects in the production of components and to achieve improved productivity with minimal lead time. The common defects in die casting which can be tackled by foundries are as follows. While some can be overcome by employing die cast simulation […]
Read MoreHow Robotics are Helping Shot Blasting in Different Manufacturing Segments
A robotic blaster is a conjunction of a shot blasting system and a multiple-axis robot engineered especially for suiting select applications. The robotic blaster can be used for distinct blast cleaning activities such as deburring, desanding and shot peening. Usually, the automobile makers use this compact, efficient, and noise-protected blaster to deburr and lay surface […]
Read MoreHow Gas Porosity Affects Die Cast Parts
While manufacturing parts with pressure die casting, there are chances of voids and holes forming within the part, affecting the quality of the part that is being manufactured. Pressure die casting can offer close tolerances and excellent surface quality. However, porosity is a big concern in most of the casting projects that make use of […]
Read MoreMajor Post-Casting Finishing Processes Used in Die Cast Components
Before shipping off to the client, all the die cast parts undergo a series of processes. While die casting, the metal molds or dies are preheated and coated in a die release agent before the molten metal is injected. However, the casted components need to undergo numerous coatings, finishes, painting, and polishing before shipping. This […]
Read MoreHow Mold and Tool Maintenance Helps in Quality Die Casting
While carrying out die casting, the maintenance of mold and the foundry is of utmost importance. It can improve the production process by increasing the efficiency and thus save valuable time. Due to this, most of the die casting companies operates mold maintenance and tooling department. These specialized departments will help in the maintenance of […]
