In the die casting process, the reusable
steel dies or molds are preheated and

coated with a die release agent to
lubricate and protect the surfaces of

dies before each use.

Next, pre -measured amounts of molten
metal are injected into the dies at

extremely high pressures.

The newly formed part is then removed
from the dies and the cycle is repeated

after the die cool.

The dies must be stronger than those
used in the permanent mold process to

withstand the high pressure injections.

These dies can be engineered to produce
complex shapes with a high degree of

accuracy and repeatability.

Dies can be used many thousands of
times, so the die casting process is

when very large quantities are needed.

Die cast parts can be sharply defined
with smooth or textured surfaces.

and are suitable for a wide variety of
finishes.

This high pressure process produces a
dense, fine -grained surface structure

with a wide range of physical and
mechanical properties such as fatigue

strength. As with the other casting
processes, choosing the alloys to be

for this process depends on their
physical and mechanical properties.

The ones that are often used for die
casting are zinc, aluminum, magnesium,

brass alloys.

As technology advances and computerized
automation in the field increases, we

will be seeing even more light metal
components in the future.
