Characteristics Of Die Casting
Dec 20, 2024
The characteristics of die casting mainly include the following aspects:
High precision and high quality: Die castings have high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, enabling little or no chip processing, thereby reducing the production cost of the parts
Die castings have a dense structure, high strength and hardness, and can meet the manufacturing needs of various complex products.
High material utilization: During the die-casting process, the molten metal crystallizes under high pressure, with fine grains and dense structure, making the die-casting parts have high strength and hardness
In addition, die castings can be directly embedded with parts made of other materials, further saving precious metal materials and processing time
Suitable for mass production: Die casting is particularly suitable for manufacturing a large number of small and medium-sized castings, so it has significant advantages in mass production
Its production efficiency is extremely high and suitable for mass production
Suitable for complex shapes: Die casting can manufacture metal parts with complex shapes, clear outlines, thin walls and deep cavities, and is suitable for the manufacturing needs of various complex structures
High cost of equipment and molds: Die-casting equipment and molds are expensive and not suitable for small batch production
In addition, the size of the die-casting machine is limited, making it difficult to die-cast large or complexly recessed castings
Restricted alloy types: The types of die-casting alloys are limited. High melting point alloys (such as ferrous metals) may reduce the life of the die-casting mold during the die-casting process.
Commonly used die-cast alloys include zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, copper alloy, tin alloy, lead alloy, etc.
