Aluminium Pressure Die Casting

Die casting can refer to any kind of casting using a die such as gravity die casting or low pressure die casting, yet here die casting only refer to high pressure die casting. Aluminum die casting is a process of casting Aluminum alloy under pressure, which can produce precision parts in high volume at low costs.

Aluminium Pressure Die Casting

The products produced by the high pressure die casting process have less porosity and are more perfect. High pressure die casting is the most widely used process in the manufacture of automotive castings. It uses pressure technology to fill the molten metal into the mold, and then eject the fixed parts into the mold. Press technology produces complex parts and reduces the need for more parts in an assembly.

High pressure die casting is a metal casting process used to create complex shapes with high precision.

The process involves shaping the metal by pressing it into a cavity of the desired shape. A mold or tool can be used to create the cavity. Molten metal is forced into the mold cavity using high pressure injection. The process is used to mass-produce complex metal shapes.

The automotive industry makes heavy use of the high-pressure die-casting manufacturing process to manufacture highly complex components of economic value. Parts manufactured by the die casting process have high strength and wear resistance. This makes die casting parts highly favored in various industries such as industrial hardware, building components, consumer goods, electrical products, medical supplies, etc. You'll find applications for die castings in nearly every industry. Especially castings made of special aluminum alloys.

Aluminum is the most widely used metal in the manufacture of die castings. Aluminum's cost-effectiveness combined with good corrosion resistance make it the metal of choice for most die cast products.

Aluminum is the alloy of choice in the die casting process for the following reasons:

Aluminum is light, easy to cast and process, has excellent processing ability, and has low melting point, has ductility, softness, can provide excellent processing ability, excellent recycling ability, corrosion resistance, has excellent thermal conductivity, has high electrical conductivity Rate, providing excellent strength and hardness.

What makes aluminum die casting the most popular manufacturing process?

High pressure die casting is the most widely accepted process for producing parts in the automotive, electrical, surgical, consumer goods, aerospace, medical and electric vehicle industries. This is mainly due to its superior quality, ease of sourcing and timely delivery, Aluminum Die Casting has its application in almost every industry.

Aluminum high pressure die casting mainly has the following three steps?

The first step is the injection stage. The molten metal is lifted from the furnace through the ladle cup, poured into the injection sleeve, and then injected into the cavity of the die-casting machine under high pressure;

The second step is the holding phase, during which the molten metal after the injection phase is held in the mold tool under high pressure to maintain the complex shape while the metal cools while ensuring that the part does not shrink;

The third step, the final step in the process is ejection, which is accomplished by reducing the pressure, opening the cavity and removing the die cast part using an automatic extractor and extraction pins.

Advantages of aluminum die castings:

Ease of Mass Production: Die casting is ideal for mass production. This process saves time when creating large batches of identical parts. This means you can go from prototype to series production in a matter of weeks!

Dimensional Accuracy and Stability: Components manufactured by the die casting process feature tight tolerances and excellent precision. Durable and heat-resistant, excellent surface finish: Die-casting enables the product to have a high-quality surface finish inherent in the die-casting stage, with surface RA values in the range of 2-100 µm (0.5-2.5 µin). It reduces the need for surface finish machining operations and, in some cases, can even eliminate it entirely.

Excellent Machinability: One of the many benefits of using aluminum castings in manufacturing is its excellent machinability.

Thin Wall Thickness and Lightweight: Die casting is one of the most efficient ways to manufacture thin yet strong products. It allows us to produce products with a wall thickness of up to 1mm, making products lighter without sacrificing precision and strength, and also saving costs.

Aluminum die castings are lightweight, corrosion resistant, have high thermal and electrical conductivity, and are extremely durable. Even with thin walls or complex shapes, aluminum die castings remain strong at high temperatures and maintain their dimensional stability. Aluminum die castings are lightweight and offer excellent durability and recyclability.

Aluminum die casting is a manufacturing process that produces precise, well-defined, smooth metal parts with a textured surface.

Following list is the general material used for pressure die casting according to different country standard.
