Die Casting

Die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected under pressure into a steel mold. The pressure is maintained during the solidification of the metal to ensure that the metal completely fills the mold, the desired surface quality achieved and the dimensional tolerances are met. The molds needed for die casting are made of high-strength steel and for a long-term use designed. Die casting is mainly used for the production of metal components in large quantities and is characterized by the ability to produce parts with complex shapes, high precision and excellent surface quality. In addition, die casting is characterized by the rapid cooling of the component, which is a fine-grained structure achieved, which gives the component good mechanical properties. Die casting can be carried out with a variety of metals, with aluminum, zinc, magnesium and copper alloys being used for the most part.
