It can be used for making parts of a product or even complete products. There are die casting companies that specialize in doing this job.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to learn more about die casting? Take some moment to go through this handbook. I am going to tell you everything that you need to know about die casting.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_is_Die_Casting-Definition\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\"><strong><b>What is Die Casting?-Definition<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can start with a basic understanding of die casting. Simply defined, die casting is the process in which solid metallic materials are melted after which they are mould to take a particular shape or design.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from just the shape, the chemical composition or structure of the metal can be changed through the die casting process.<\/p>\n<p>The melting process is done by furnaces is usually done bu furnaces which have different heating temperatures depending on the type of metals that are being melted.<\/p>\n<p>Die casting can be a single process or a multiple-stage process. It all depends on the type of metal material and the complexity of the shape that you want.<\/p>\n<p>The final product of a die casting process can be of any size. It can be either small or large metal depending on what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that die casting is not the same as metal fabrication. Even though both the processes involve the use of metals, there is a big difference in how the two are executed.<\/p>\n<p>Die casting is mainly used on non-ferrous metals such as zinc, aluminium, brass, copper, magnesium among others.<\/p>\n<p>Die casting is used for mass production, especially when you are intending to get the most accurate metals.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Background_of_Die_Casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\"><strong><b>Background of Die Casting<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The history of die casting dates back to the late 1800s. In fact, the first <a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US546498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>patent of a die casting machine<\/u><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0was awarded in 1894. Although the earlier die casting technologies were somehow considered crude, they still managed to do the job.<\/p>\n<p>However, early die casting technologies were somehow limited in terms of the type of metals that they processed.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, we have witnessed an array of advancements\u00a0have been made in the die casting. Sophisticated die casting machines have been developed.<\/p>\n<p>One of the advantages of the new machines is their production capacities. They can process more metals within a short time. They are also more accurate than the old machines.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced die casting machines have the capacity to work on different types of metals. The high demand for metal products stimulated the need for better die casting machines. Almost every in the world was undergoing a major revolution, starting with automotive, medical among others.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from technology, there has also been an evolution in the die casting companies. For instance, one group of these companies is known as captive die casting companies. Captive companies produce the die casting products for their own use. Most automakers fall under this category.<\/p>\n<p>Another category is the open die casting companies. These companies provide the die casting services for different companies that need to use the casted metals in their respective production process. A perfect example is the Roche Industry.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W6VgCaRozq8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Die_Casting_Materials_What_are_the_Metals_Used_for_Die_Casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\"><strong><b>Die Casting Materials: What are the Metals Used for Die Casting?<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Can I die cast any metal that am planning to use?<\/p>\n<p>No, die casting is not suitable for all types of metals. There are some metals that cannot be die-cast because of their physical and chemical properties. Since the process involves the use of heat and high pressure, only a few metals can withstand it.<\/p>\n<p>Before we look at the metals used in die casting, let\u2019s look at the two key aspects that determine the choice of metal:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\">1. Heat<\/span><\/strong>: During the die casting process, there must be enough heat to melt the metal. However, this hat should not alter the best characteristics of the metal. This means that the metal\u2019s properties should remain the same despite the high temperatures.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\"><strong>2. Pressure<\/strong><\/span>: The metal should still maintain its desirable features despite the pressure that is being exerted on it.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are different die casting techniques, all of them t draw their reference points from these two critical aspects. They will also enlighten\u00a0you in choosing the right die casting technique for whichever type of metal that you are planning to use.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Common_Metals_Used_In_Die_Casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\"><strong><b>Common Metals Used In Die Casting<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here a is a breakdown of the most common die casting metals;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"1_Zinc_die_casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\">1.

This metal is basically an alloy of zinc and copper.<\/p>\n<p>There are different types of brass alloys. Their difference is mainly because of the different percentage of copper and zinc<\/p>\n<p>Other metal elements can be added to this alloy in order to enhance the desirable characteristics of the brass.<\/p>\n<p>Brass alloys that are used for die casting include Admiralty brass, Alpha brass, Duplex brass, Aluminium brass, Beta brass among others.<\/p>\n<p>One desirable property of brass is easy to machine. Brass metals are easy to die cast. The metal is also highly resistant to corrosion and is known for having extra strength. The low melting point of this metal makes it easy to deal with.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"3_Aluminium_die_casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\">3. Aluminium die casting<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Aluminium is among the most common metal that is used in a die casting process. It is also among the oldest metal types that are subjected to this process. It is also cheaper to take aluminium through this process.<\/p>\n<p>Aluminium is known for its physical strength. This explains why it has a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n<p>Die casting aluminium is among the best ways of turning it into a more usable form. The good thing about this metal is can be recycled.<\/p>\n<p>There are different types of aluminium alloys that are used for die casting. They include K-alloy, alloy 383, alloy 413, alloy B390, alloy B360 among others.<\/p>\n<p>Some desirable properties of aluminium that make it a perfect metal for die casting include tenacity, high operating temperature, excellent thermal properties, lightweight among others.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"4_Steel_Die_casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\">4. Steel Die casting<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Steel is another common metal that we die cast. We give it a high priority because it is very versatile. This means that it is used for many different applications.<\/p>\n<p>Being an alloy of carbon and iron, steel has the properties of these two elements. This explains why tends to have numerous superior performance properties.<\/p>\n<p>Other components that make up steel include vanadium, chromium, tungsten among other minerals.<\/p>\n<p>Some types of steel that are used in die casting include; Tool steel, carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel.<\/p>\n<p>Some desirable properties of steel that make it ideal for die casting resistance to corrosion, extra strength, lightweight, recyclability, electricity and thermal conductivity.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Types_of_Die_Casting\"><span style=\"color: #4b6dab;\"><strong><b>Types of Die Casting<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we have seen, there are different types of metals that are processed through die casting. Since each metal has its unique properties, it is obvious that not all of them can be processed ion the same way.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it necessary for us to have different types of die casting. Also, the difference in the casting method is necessitated by the difference in the desired outcome. You may want to achieve a different level of casting and this is possible if the processing method is different.<\/p>\n<p>There are different types of die casting process that can be used to achieve the desired goals.

One f the key reasons is it has a wide range of applications in the modern world.<\/p>\n<p>It is known as high pressure die casting because everything happens under high pressure and high speed. The most suitable operating temperature for this process is 700 degrees Celcius or more.<\/p>\n<p>High pressure die casting is suitable for the large scale production of metals. It is also suitable for the production of delicate metallic parts.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem with high pressure die casting is cost. The process is capital-intensive. This makes it unsuitable for the small-scale die casting needs.<\/p>\n<p>Low pressure die casting, as the name suggests, operate under relatively low pressure levels. The molten metal is immersed in the mould under low pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Although the end product is still, good, it is not as better as that of high pressure die casting. In terms of figures, the low pressure that is used does not exceed 15psi.<\/p>\n<p>There are numerous advantages of low pressure die casting. One of them is a high production rate. The process is also ideal for small scale production.<\/p>\n<p>So which one should I choose between high pressure vs low pressure die casting? It all depends on your needs.<\/p>\n<p>If you are into large scale production, then you should consider getting high pressure die casting.
