Study Notes
Die Casting Process
- After the die has been closed and locked, molten metal is injected into the die cavity under high pressure to produce a casting.
Die Casting vs. Permanent Mould Casting
- The key difference between die casting and permanent mould casting is the use of pressure: die casting uses high pressure to inject molten metal, whereas permanent mould casting uses gravity to fill the mould.
Die Casting Process (Open Die)
- While the casting die is open, the die is sprayed with a lubricant and the previous casting is ejected.
Complexity of Die Casting Shapes
- The use of high pressure and rapid injection of molten metal allows die casting to produce more complex shapes compared to permanent mould casting.
Advantages of Die Casting
- One advantage of die casting over permanent mould casting is its ability to produce castings with a high degree of accuracy and precision.
