Die Casting And Its Advantages

As a basic process of manufacturing die casting has an indisputable place in metal industry. Some the benefits of die casting industry need to be brought to the limelight as it can reap profitable results for many. The growth in this industry has not remained isolated but that has also helped many other related industries.

Die casting provides complex shapes of industrial parts within closer tolerances than many other mass production processes. Little or no machining is required and number of identical casting can be produced before additional tooling is required. This saves a lot of time and money for both the manufacturer and designer. Die casting produces parts that are durable and dimensionally stable, while maintaining close tolerances. They are also heat resistant.

There are certain significant advantages of die cast. The well known advantage of die cast is these types of parts are stronger than plastic injection moldings having the same dimensions. Thin wall casting is stronger and lighter than those possible with other casting methods. Plus, because die casting do not consist of separate parts welded or fastened together, the strength is that of alloy rather than the joining. Thus a uniform strength can be achieved for the entire piece manufactured. Die casting provide integral fastening elements, such as bosses and studs. Holes can be cored and made to tap drill sizes or external threads can be cast.

Die casting produces stronger parts with closer tolerance that has greater stability and durability. Die cast parts have greater resistance to temperature extremes and superior electrical properties. Die casting produces parts with thinner walls, closer dimensional limits and smoother surface. Production is faster and labour costs and Finishing costs per casting are lower.

Thus, die casting is a blessing to industries. Die casting is one of the fastest and most cost effective methods for producing a wide range of components.

As a basic industry in production/manufacturing of metal parts die casting is going to lead the market forces for many more years. It is unquestionably a major governing force for the metal industry.
