Die Casting Types Available from Echofast

Cold Chamber Die Casting

A crucial step in reducing heat and addressing the corrosion problem in machine parts and related components is the cold chamber die casting method.Die casting molds are characterized by high production efficiency, simple process, tight tolerance and high mechanical strength.The alloys with high melting points such as aluminum, magnesium, brass, lead are primarily used by this technique.

Die Casting Metal Materials

Aluminum Die Casting

The most popular alloys for die cast items are aluminum alloys. Suppliers of aluminum die castings benefit from the material's complete recyclability and simplicity of usage.Aluminum die casting may need a cold chamber casting technique because of the metal's relatively higher melting temperature.Cast aluminum parts are popular among engineers due to their excellent strength to weight ratios, dimensional stability, and a variety of finishing possibilities.Other typical qualities of cast aluminum alloys include:

High thermal and electrical conductivity
Withstand high operating temperatures
Small linear shrinkage
Cutting performance

Commonly used Aluminum alloys:

A380, A360, A390.A413, ADC-12, ADC-1

Zinc Die Casting

Among the die casting metals, zinc is easiest to cast material and is frequently used in cold chamber procedures.Molten zinc has the characteristics of excellent casting fluidity and a lower melting point.Due to its strength and rigidity, it can create parts with thinner walls, intricate features, and tight tolerances.Die cast parts made of zinc alloys, with a low melting point, can cool and solidify more quickly.These parts can be produced at the highest speed compared with other die casting materials.Zinc is an all-round high-performing material because of its balance of mechanical and physical qualities, including the following:

Superior surface finish
Cost-effective
High hardness
Great stability

Lead alloy Die Casting

With their excellent corrosion resistance, Lead alloys tend to be used in applications that require less than 8000 pounds of tensile strength per square inch.Some of common applications include bearings, fire-safety equipment and various decorative metal goods.Lead alloys are popular among die casting molds because they are comparatively inexpensive for producing castings.Lead alloys have the following die casting characteristics:

Corrosion resistance
Comparatively inexpensive
A high density
Capability to produce parts that have extremely close dimensions
Used in applications where special forms of corrosion resistance is required (such as in the food services industry for public health issues)

Available Die Casting Finishes

Anodizing

Mainly for aluminum alloy die casting.Anodizing utilizes electrochemical principles to generate a layer of Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) film on the surface of the parts.This decorative layer of oxide film provides high insulation and wear resistance.

Plating

Die cast parts can be plated with electroless nickel, nickel, brass, tin, chrome, chromate, Teflon, silver and gold.

Bead Blasting

Bead blasting is a process in which small spheres of glass or other abrasive material are blasted at high pressure against a surface.Bead blasting is commonly used as a finishing step in manufacturing metal parts or to remove rust, paint, or other debris from metal surfaces.It can also be used to texturize plastic or glass surfaces.

Brushing

Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.

Advantages of Die Casting Mold

Excellent dimensional accuracy
Smooth cast surfaces.
Inserts can be cast-in (such as threaded inserts, heating elements, and high strength bearing surfaces).
Reduce or eliminate secondary machining operations.
Rapid production rates.
Casting tensile strength as high as 415 megapascals (60 ksi).
Die casting fluid length is unaffected by solidification range, unlike permanent molds, sand castings, and other types.
Corrosion rates for die castings are slower than those for sand castings due to the smoother surface of the die castings.

Die Casting Mold FAQs

1.What is the process after ordering?

After receiving the order, the statement of work is reviewed by our case manager.A comprehensive DFM/PEG/mold flow analysis report is created and provided for approval.Upon approval, mold production is commenced.T1 samples are produced and shipped within the specified time for approval.Upon approval, molds can be shipped.

2.Can you offer me a specific lead time ?

In most cases, it’s about 30 days for molds with simple structures, but the specific time is mainly based on the mold structure.

3.Within the allowable range of your machine, how many cavities can be made at most?

It depends on the structure and the size of the products,and we will judge the number of cavities at the maximum limit of the multi-cavity range.

4.Can you tell us the mold cavity tolerances ?

+/- 0.005" when machining the mold and an additional +/- 0.002" per inch when calculating for shrink rate.

5.What industries use die casting mold?

Die casting mold is used across a wide range of industries including automotive, industrial, security , 5G communication equipment, motor housing , pump body & valve, and more.
