Pressure die casting is one of the production methods used to manufacture different types of identical parts such as zip runners, valve bodies, pipe fittings, engine heads, automotive components, bearing blocks, brackets, toys, etcetera, through forcing or injecting the molten metals with pressure, in to the cavities of the mold.
Pressure die castings is one of the modern production methods used to manufacture huge volume of different parts made out of different nonferrous metals and alloys such as zinc, aluminium, magnesium, copper, led, silicon tombac, brass, bronze, pewter, etcetera.
Depends on nature and type, the die casting parts are manufactured in two different methods that are the high pressure die casting and low pressure die casting. Similarly, the die casting parts are manufactured in two types of chambers that are cold chamber die casting and hot chamber die casting.
High pressure die casting, one of the methods used to manufacture a few types of casting parts that are involved with various facts such as casting cycles, thin walled parts, smooth surface, lower strength value, complicated profiles, etcetera. Similarly, the low pressure die casting is another method used to manufacture a few types of parts with various facts such as long casting cycles, higher strength values, complex geometries, high dimensional accuracy, etcetera.
The parts manufactured by pressure die castings have many advantages such as suitable for easy mass production, durable, dimensionally stable while maintaining close tolerances, heat resistant, comparably stronger than plastic parts has the same thin wall thickness, generally have the good surface finish, discreetly suitable for electroplating, etcetera.
Unfortunately, the parts manufactured by pressure die castings have some disadvantages, such as require complex and expensive equipment, a large capital investment required for the setup, relatively inflexible when compared to gravity casting, not suitable for small production, etcetera.
There are two types of dies used in die casting processes. Out of the two, one is the hot chamber die, and the other is the cold chamber die. The dies typically composed two halves one is the cover die half, mounted on a stationary platen, and the other is ejector die half, mounted on a movable platen. Numbers of facts such as die channels, sprue, runners, gates, draft, undercuts, side actions, side core, cooling tower, etcetera influenced with fabricating the mold for die casting.
The overall quality the parts manufactured by pressure die castings mainly depends on the purity of the material, grade of design of mold, precision of mold, quality of the machine shop involved, precision of machining facilities in the tool room, quality of chemical and heat treatments, quality of fittings, etcetera.
Although, the parts are manufactured using pressure die castings by many renowned industries, introducing modern technologies and production facilities, still there are some gaps, in the way to increase the quantity, quality and to reduce the product cost, found, further to be filled.
All the three gaps, can fill through improve the designs of the molds, dies, accessories and increase the parameters such as finish, dimensional accuracy, etcetera through decides the sequence of processes, method of processes and types of facilities required to fabricate the same, etcetera.
VEL CONSULTANCY and the group of VEL CONSULTANCY feels proud to inform that since 1998, as per client’s requirement, we are providing topnotch quality of technical services and supports under one roof, comparably at a lower budget.
