Advantages of Die Casting
by John Smith LearnerInjection molding can be traced
back to the mid-1800s. The ingredients used in the early stages were tin and
lead, but their use decreased with the introduction of zinc and aluminum
alloys. Over the years, the process has evolved from low pressure injection
molding to die casting at pressures up to 4,500 psi. The processes of aluminum die casting are able to produce high quality products
with excellent surface finish.
Casting is an economical and efficient
process for making various shapes. It is considered superior to other
production methods and is considered durable and aesthetic because it
integrates seamlessly with other parts of the equipment of which it is a part.
Molds have many advantages, the most important of which is the ability to
produce complex shapes with a higher degree of tolerance than any other mass
production method. Thousands of similar castings can be mass-produced before
new castings have to be added.
A high-pressure die is a manufacturing
process in which aluminum in its molten form is injected with a molding machine
with high force, speed and pressure to form the required parts and design parts
in the steel or mold. This rating reflects the amount of pressure applied to
the mold. The size of the machine varies from 400 to 4000 tons.
There are many advantages to
using a casting process over others. When casting in a press, parts with thin
walls, close to size limits are obtained, and it is possible to speed up the
process. With dying labor and finishing costs are the lowest. With this
process, complex shapes with close tolerances can be easily obtained. Unlike
the forging process, you can insert pits into products made by this process.
Shapes that cannot be obtained
from bar or tubular material can be easily obtained by casting. The number of
processing operations is lower, thus creating less material waste.
Casting is used when durable and
dimensionally stable parts are required. They are heat-resistant and retain
good tolerances, which are important prerequisites for any well-treated part.
It is stronger and lighter than parts made by other casting methods. It has no
welded or bolted parts, which greatly increases its efficiency. Another
advantage is the many finishing touches that you can achieve with casting.
Surfaces can be made smooth or textured, making it easier to apply and use.
