What is Die Casting?
Metal die casting is a production process used to make geometrically-complex parts with attractive finishes through custom-made steel mold. The process is quite similar to injection molding, where molten metal is forced into the die to create casted parts. The cast parts take the shape of the die and solidify as the die/mold cavity cools. On cooling, the final piece is removed and post-processed to bring it to the desired finish. Die casting is the most effective approach to making medium to high units of metal parts for end-use.
Die casting allow for the creation of high-quality metal parts with high accuracy and ensures that the process is highly repeatable. The die casting process is carried out with the use of a furnace, the metal material, the die casting equipment and the die itself. Aluminum, zinc and magnesium are the most common die casting alloys.
