Overview of Die Casting Processes

Die casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is forced into a mold cavity under high pressure. There are two main types - gravity die casting, where the mold fills via gravity, and pressure die casting, which uses hot or cold chamber methods to inject molten metal under high pressure. Possible defects include flash, hot tearing, bubbles, and unfilled sections. Die casting produces parts with close tolerances and smooth surfaces but is generally limited to smaller, thinner parts made of nonferrous alloys.

Introduction
Die casting is a metal casting
process that is characterized by
forcing molten metal under high
pressure into a mould cavity. and
the molten metal is cooled and
solidified under pressure to form
castings.
types of 01 gravity die casting (GDC)

die casting

02 pressure die casting (PDC) - hot / cold chamber


gravity die
casting
is a permanent mould casting
process, where the molten metal is
poured from a vessel or ladle into
the mould. The mould cavity fills
with no force other than gravity,
filling can be controlled by tilting
the die.

01
hot chamber
die casting
is a type of die casting that uses alloys with low
melting temperatures (i.e. Zinc, some Magnesium
alloys).The metal is contained in an open holding
pot, which is placed in the furnace and melted to
the needed temperature. when the plunger moves
down, it forces the molten metal through a
gooseneck and into the die at injection pressures
ranging from 1,000 – 5,000 psi.

02
cold chamber
die casting
is a type of die casting that is used for alloys with
high melting temperatures (i.e. Aluminum and
some Magnesium alloys).As a contrast from hot
chamber die casting, molten metal is ladled from
the furnace into the shot chamber through a
pouring [Link] plunger forces metal through the
shot chamber into the die at pressures ranging
from 2,000 and 20,000 psi. The plunger holds the
pressure and retracts after solidification.
