What are Ejector Pins and Why They are Used in Aluminum Die Cast Mold Making
Ejector pins are an important aspect of designing and molding phase of die cast mold making with aluminum. Also known as knockout pins, they are attached to the movable half of the casting known as the ‘ejector half’ in order to push out the casting from the mold cavity. Once the solidified mold ejects from […]
Read MoreTop 4 Best Practices Followed in 3D Printing for Industrial Applications
Many Mexican die casters provide 3D printing, which is used to deposit metal power on a component as per the geometrical patterns collected from the Computer Aided Software. Also known as additive printing, the process transforms digital files and drawings into components having a three dimensional structure. It aids making components quickly with a bare-minimum […]
Read More5 Commonly Used Die Casting Surface Treatment
Several people who are new to the concept of die casting have a misconception that the process is completed once the die is cast. However, the reality is that most of the experienced die casters put in extra efforts and implement a number of surface treatment processes on the finished die to improve its quality […]
Read MoreTypes of Abrasive Blasting Technique and the Applications
Abrasive blasting refers to the process of propelling abrasive media like aluminum oxide, glass beads, steel shot, etc., upon a surface with applied force. Abrasive blasting is a key step in prepping for resurfacing and can be used for smoothing or roughening a surface, and even shaping or removing contaminants on a surface. The abrasive […]
Read MoreBenefits of Using Malleable Aluminum for Manufacturing Alloy Wheels
Aluminum is one of the most preferred materials to make alloy wheels since aluminum is a malleable metal. Alloy wheels are often casted although some are forged in high-end plantations using CNC machines and carbon fiber. A specially designed mold cavity is used to cast alloy wheels and low pressure is applied to pour the […]
Read MoreOutgassing in Die Casting: Causes and Prevention
Outgassing is a process by which the trapped gases are released through a powder coating in the curing process. The passing of gas through this coating can result in the formation of small holes or pinholes. The occurrence of such pinholes can cause moisture and corrosive substances to come in contact with the surface thus […]
Read MoreWhat is Vacuum Impregnation and Why it is Important for Die Cast
Durable die cast metal plays an integral role in the interior and exterior of automobiles. The automobile segment needs components that are completely sealed and safeguards against external threats like corrosive fluidic agents and moisture. Using lightweight raw material and electronic parts, which provide higher miles per gallon, monitors safety systems and maintains a uniform […]
Read MoreWhat Aspects are Considered in Mold Design Phase of Die Cast Mold Making
Prior to beginning the mold design phase in high-pressure die casting, the foundries gauge the viability of producing the component. In fact, two aspects are looked for when the engineers design the mold and these are the dimensional aspects and component geometry. For calculating the casting volume and the opening of the die cavity, the […]
Read MoreInspection Methods Used for Identifying Defects in Castings
Ensuring the quality of the casted components is critical in the process of die casting. This is done mostly in the post casting stages, where the components are subjected to different examination procedures. This will help in identifying the defects in the casted components and apply the necessary fixes before shipping them off to the […]
Read MoreSolving Adhesion Issues in Post Die Cast Processes
The components produced during die casting are subjected to a series of post-casting operations such as painting, and application of adhesives and polymers. Mostly, these secondary coatings are applied to the castings in order to improve its key physical properties and shield it from future defects. At times, there occur numerous issues with these post-casting […]
