- Benefits of Die Casting include:
- The die casting process provides a definite cost advantage over the sand and permanent mold process and investment castings. There is no other mass production technique which can deliver such a wide range of complex metallic shapes within such close tolerances. Excellent dimensional stability and repeatability is a significant benefit of this process as casting geometry can be very complex with thin wall features as thin as .060”.
- Typically, the more complex the shape, the greater the potential benefit from die casting. Size limitation is driven only by the press tonnage. Very large castings weighing several pounds may require as few as 3 minutes to cast, demonstrating that the die casting process is the fastest process available for the manufacture of precision non-ferrous metal parts. Although Aluminum and Zinc are normally the most sought after materials, magnesium, copper, lead and tin are also materials die cast.
- Most often, the more complex part design, the greater the cost saving, as die castings will often eliminate many secondary operations required to complete a machined component.
