Zinc die casting machine is extensively used for die casting process that refers to any kind of die casting using a die such as gravity die casting or low pressure die casting, yet here die casting only refer to high pressure die casting. Aluminum die casting is a process of casting Aluminum alloy under pressure that helps in producing precision parts in high volume at low costs. There are two processes of aluminum die casting namely hot chamber die casting and cold chamber die casting. We are introducing cold chamber die casting process ever since our inception. Now the die casting machines that is applying is known as cold chamber die casting machines.
Advantage of aluminum die casting process
A.high volume but low cost Compared with aluminum sand casting and gravity casting, aluminum die casting can produce precision parts in high volume at low costs.
B.good surface finish and good dimensional accuracy Aluminum die casting generally has good surface finish and good dimensional accuracy. For many parts, post-machining can be totally eliminated, or very light machining may be required to bring dimensions to size.
Disadvantage of aluminum die casting process
A.high cost of die casting mold The cost of tooling of die casting is much more expensive than those of sand casting, gravity casting and investment casting.
B.high porosity Though the porosity of die casting can be adjusted by using much higher pressure with a much larger and heavier mold, the porosity can not be avoided and is much more than that is of low pressure casting and gravity casting. Furthermore,porosity leads die casting parts to be not suitable for heat treatment.Thus the consistence can not be compared with gravity castings.
