Positives of Choosing Die Casting
One of the major advantages of die-casting is that the process is very eco-friendly. It has the capability to reduce wastage and to make sure we reuse recycled materials to the fullest. Below is a discussion on how environment-friendly die casting helps us, and the upsides of recycling done in die casting companies. Die Casting […]
Read MoreMain Properties of Zinc Alloys Used in Die Casting
The four zinc alloys used to make die cast components are Alloys 2, 3 and 5, as well as ZA 8. Analyzing the properties of these alloys is possible only following the identification of the product’s main characteristics. Following is a look in detail at the properties of zinc alloys. Castability The above-mentioned alloys have […]
Read MoreZinc Alloys Suitable for Hot Chamber Pressure Die Casting
Zinc alloys have excellent physical and mechanical properties. They are resistant to corrosion and wear and tear, durable, as well as rigid. Their properties make them suitable for die casting, but some alloys are more suitable than others. Here are the best ones foundries use to make die cast components, including those with intricate geometric […]
Read MoreNon-Destructive Casting Quality Inspection Methods
Every step is taken in a careful manner in die casting to get quality outputs, which do not have issues with the surface finish, soundness, mechanical properties, as well as final dimensions. Yet, even components cast with diligence have to undergo inspection, as part of the quality control measures. Small issues could arise, and several […]
Read MoreWhat is a Gating System and in What Ways it Affects the Final Output
A gating system refers to the channels through which the molten metal flows to the die cavity. Its key objective is to ensure its smooth and complete flow from the ladle to the mold cavity. To achieve perfect castings, it is important to have a gating system that is well designed. Components of the Gating […]
Read MoreDifferences between Cast Iron and Wrought Iron
Many people believe that the term ‘cast iron’ alludes to early ironwork, or it was always ‘wrought iron’, or both may be correct. These are all a misconception, and the basic difference between cast and wrought iron is simple. The former is iron in a molten form that is poured into a mold, and then […]
Read MoreHow Die Casting Got Big in Gear Drive Manufacturing
There was a time when automotive seat designers were in a dilemma over the most cost-effective way to make geometrically intricate and horizontal gear drive. Earlier, it was proving difficult to find any single process which could meet its tolerancing requirements within planned budget. The gear drive included not just an Acme thread at an […]
Read MoreHow Product Portfolio Changes Affect Aluminum for Automotive Casting
For the last fifty years or so, the aluminum foundry segment’s growth has been characterized mainly by the substitution of other gearbox and engine parts with aluminum castings. Engine blocks and gearboxes were the last main components from the early 1980’s, which led to drastic market growth in the aluminum casting field. Meanwhile, this particular […]
Read MoreSix Die Cast Prototyping Strategies
As die casting expanded into several industries and alloys have been introduced, more of its strategies and techniques have been developed as the process was first used to produce type for the rapidly growing printing segment. While the high pressure casting process is the most commonly used technique today, other methods are also often employed […]
Read MoreEDM versus Milling in Mold or Die Machining
In several mold and die shops, the choice amid the ram EDM process and CNC milling process is far less obvious than ever before. The changing technology is also changing the rules. Milling can be applied even more broadly today. Machining centers that are capable of following intricate and precise tool paths at top feed […]
