There are 5 steps to manufacture die casting products.
Step 1: Prepare mold. Heating the mold to a specific temperature and then spray the interiors of the mold with a refractory coating or lubricant.
Step 2: Inject material. Pouring molten metal into the mold under a required pressure.
Step 3: Cool the metal. Once the molten metal is injected into the cavity, take time to let it harden
Step 4: Unclamp the mold. Unclamp the mold carefully and take out the cast part.
Step 5: Trim the casting part. The last step is to remove sharp edges and extra material to make the desired component shape.
Zinc, aluminum and magnesium. Also, you can choose copper, brass, for custom casting parts.
Yes, the temperature is a very important factor in metal casting. The proper temperature can ensure the metal alloy is heated correctly and continuously flow into the mold.
There is no fixed answer. The casting parts are commonly produced using aluminum, zinc and magnesium that are not mainly made from iron, which makes them corrosion resistant and hardly rust. But if you don’t protect your products well for a long time, there is the possibility that they will rust.
