In a hot chamber die casting machine

Concept:

Die casting:

It is a moulding process in which the molten metal is injected under high pressure and velocity into a split mould die.

Die casting is categorized two types namely -

• Hot chamber and cold Chamber.
• In a hot chamber die casting machine melting pot is an integral part of the machine.
• Metals like Zinc, tin, and lead alloys are cast in hot chamber die casting having melting point below 390°C whereas aluminum alloys are cast in cold chamber die casting machine.
• Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminium, magnesium, lead, pewter, and tin-based alloys.
• The higher the cooling rate, the finer will be the grain and higher will be the strength.
