Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mould cavity. The mould cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mould during the process. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminium, magnesium, lead, pewter, and tin-based alloys. Depending on the type of metal being cast, a hot- or cold-chamber machine is used.
ADVANTAGES OF ZINC DIE CASTING
Because of the cost effectiveness and exceptional mechanical and physical properties of zinc alloys, design engineers turn to zinc die castings for their components. Below are just a few of the reasons why you should consider zinc die casting instead of other processes.
ZINC CASTINGS VS SAND CASTINGS OR PERMANENT MOLD CASTING
Zinc die casting can produce parts with thinner walls, closer dimensional limits, and smoother surfaces. Production is faster, labor and finishing costs are lower.
