Die-casting: Die casting can be defined as a process of ‘forcing molten metal’ into cavities of mold under high pressure. These castings comprise of nonferrous metals, especially-alloys of aluminum, copper, and zinc. It is even possible to make die castings of metal. The method of die casting is used where finer parts are needed.

Permanent Casting Molds: Although these permanent casting molds are not as flexible as the sand castings which allow to be used in different metal patterns or designs but these lower the cost of producing the part. When there is a production run of more than 1000 parts the permanent casting molds would produce much lower [...]

Cold Chamber process: In the cold chamber category of die casting, a cold chamber of each module is filled with molten metal. The time exposure provided for the molten metal to plunge the walls of the mold is less. This clod chamber process method is very useful for metals like aluminum, copper and metals that [...]

The die casting molds which are used in this method are expensive and take usually take long production time. These die casting modules are also called as “dies’
Advantages of Die Casting: The method of die casting gives excellent dimensional accuracy. The dimensional accuracy is as good as 0.1mm for the first 2.5cms and 0.005 for [...]

A casting pattern is basically a shaped form of either metal or wood where sand is packed around it in the mold. When this pattern is removed, the resulting cavity would be exactly the shape of the pattern object that was to be cast. The casting pattern should however be designed in order to be [...]

The process: The process of making casting patterns is actually called as pattern making which is in fact a skilled trade which is related to the trades of die and tool making and mold making. However this also sometimes incorporates the elements of fine wood making. The makers of casting patterns basically learn their [...]
