Die casting is a manufacturing process used to produce metal parts with high precision, dimensional consistency, and complex shapes. It involves injecting molten metal into a mold, known as a die, under high pressure. Once the metal solidifies within the die, the mold is opened, and the solidified part, known as a casting, is removed.
Die casting excels in creating intricate, precise parts and is commonly employed for large-scale production. Advanced methods like squeeze casting and semi-solid metal casting further enhance the quality of the parts produced. Notably, around 80% of die cast parts are crafted from aluminum, showcasing its widespread usage

Die casting is fast and efficient, creating parts quickly with little waste. This suits mass production and cost-effectiveness. It achieves precise details and smooth surfaces, ideal for complex shapes. This minimizes the need for additional finishing, maintaining low costs. Die cast parts are durable, offering longer lifespans than other components.

For aluminum and other alloys with higher melting points, the cold chamber die casting process is used. In this method, the molten metal is ladled into a separate chamber, and then a hydraulic piston injects it into the die. The use of a separate chamber keeps the molten metal away from the machine’s plunger and nozzle, which prevents exposure to high temperatures that could damage those components.
After casting, excess material and sharp edges are removed to achieve the desired shape and enhance safety. Additional machining operations, like drilling, tapping, and milling, may be conducted for precise dimensions and features.
Zinc die casting is a manufacturing process used to create metal parts and components from zinc alloys. It is similar to aluminum die casting but uses zinc as the primary material. Zinc alloys are applicable in part manufacturing due to their ductility, impact strength, and low melting point. Furthermore, the casting process occurs under lower heat due to the material’s low melting point. Hence the name “hot chamber die casting process.
Applying various surface treatments to improve aesthetics and protect against corrosion. This includes processes like polishing, buffing, shot blasting, and sanding.
Choosing the right material involves considering factors such as the intended use of the part, mechanical properties required (strength, hardness, ductility), thermal properties, corrosion resistance, and cost considerations. Each material has its advantages and limitations, so consulting with our experienced engineers and material experts can help you make the best choice for your project.
