Die Casting Process, Why Use the Aluminum Diecasting Process
15 Dec.,2023
- The Die casting process provides complex metallic shapes within closer tolerances than any other mass production processes.
- Die castings are processed at very high rates of production. Near net shape is archived so little or no machining is required.
- Parts produced using the die casting process can be produced with thinner walls than those obtainable by other casting methods.
- Parts produced using the die casting process are much stronger than plastic injection moldings with the same dimensions.
- Parts produced using the die casting process are durable, dimensionally stable, and have the strength, feel, and appearance of quality.
- Die casting dies can produce tens of thousands of identical castings within specified tolerances before additional tooling may be required.
- In parts produced using the die casting process, aluminum castings can be painted with a minimum of surface preparation.
- Parts produced using the die casting process can be produced with surfaces simulating a wide variety of textures.
- Parts produced using the die casting process, "as cast", are smoother than virtually all other forms of casting.
- Holes in parts produced using the die casting process can be cored into a variety of shapes, and made to tap drill sizes.
- External threads on parts produced using the die casting process can be readily die cast.
- Parts produced using the die casting process provide integral fastening elements, such as bosses and studs, which can result in assembly economies.
- Inserts of other metals and some non-metals can be die cast in place with high pullout strength.
- Threre are different aluminum alloys for different uses.
- Corrosion resistance of parts produced using the die casting process rates from good to high.
- Die castings are monolithic. They combine many functions in one complex shaped part.
- Strength is that of the material, not that of the threads, welds, etc.
- Compare Die Casting Alloys, this chart describes the similarities of the various die
casting metals.
