Is Cold Chamber Die Casting a Good Choice for Metal Alloys?
Die casting is one of the most popular and widely used methods of casting metals and other components into desired shapes. This efficient technique or process allows die casters to produce more than thousands of finished products from a single die. The die used by manufacturers to shape metals is commonly known as a mold. […]
Read MoreEDM and HSM Process for Die Cast Mold Making
The mold and die industry should respond to the market demands with great flexibility and on time. Die casting companies can use the High-Speed Milling (HSM) and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) in combination for the three main features of die cast mold making. They are namely forging the dies, injection, die casting molds, and deep-drawing […]
Read MoreWhy Vacuum Assisted Die Casting is Preferred to Conventional Techniques
Vacuum assisted die casting is the latest technology that made considerable changes in the die casting industry. The demand for die casting is also high nowadays, especially in the automotive industry. This has resulted in the adoption of newer techniques in die casting with the sole objective of ensuring quality in the components as well […]
Read MoreThings to Know About the Life of Aluminum Die Cast Products
Several businesses often ask die casters why they use aluminum for shaping metals into desired shapes. According to professional die casters, they follow this practice because there are plenty of advantages in using aluminum for die casting purposes. For instance, aluminum is highly durable, corrosion resistant, and lightweight, that make it an ideal choice for […]
Read MoreConstituents of Brass Alloy in Brass Die Casting and the Applications
Metal die casting is used to produce mass components from a number of raw materials like brass alloy, zinc alloy, aluminum, or magnesium alloy. Brass alloys are sourced in distinct configurations by die casters for making components such as coaxial cables, alloy wheels, and so on. Many types of alloys are used in brass die […]
Read MoreProperties 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 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 […]
