On this page, you will learn about the difference between die casting and permanent mold casting, and the advantages of each. Or Compare die casting and permanent mold casting. Die Casting vs Permanent Mold Casting The main methods of producing aluminum parts are sand casting, permanent casting, and die casting. Among them, die casting and permanent mold are often confused. Die casting vs permanent mold casting Die casting and permanent mold casting use steel molds to form a cavity that contains molten aluminum during cooling. this process is different from the sand mold & sand technology process where a new cavity is formed in the sand mold every cycle. Mold abrasive coating protects the steel from molten metal. Compared with gravity casting permanent, when using die casting, metal is pressed into the mold cavity under pressure. This makes it very similar to plastic injection molding. Once the metal solidifies, the mold and removal the mold will open. The major difference between the two steel dies techniques is how the metal gets into the tooling. In the permanent mold, the metal flows into the cavity from the reservoir. A gate controls the flow speed to reduce turbulence. Usually, the mold is designed to fill the riser from the bottom of the side so that the riser is at the highest point. After filling, the metal is given time to freeze before the mold is opened and the part removed. Features such as internal galleries are created by placing inserts into the mold before it is closed. Free Quote & Part Analysis → Die casting advantages Excellent casting surface finish, more than 125 microinches. It may require little or no secondary processing and finishing. Very tight geometric tolerances can be maintained, including thin walls. Compared with permanent mold, parts to parts processing speed is faster, which helps reduce the unit cost of long-term operation. Equipment usually requires less floor space. Die casting molds are often less expensive than permanent casting molds, but the process can produce more precise parts with thinner walls and smoother surfaces. Common casting metals are aluminum, magnesium, and zinc alloys. Permanent mold casting advantages Permanent mold casting is usually lower than the required complexity of the mold, so the price is cheap. Surface finish is typically in the range of 125 to 300 microinches, which means that most secondary processing is required. The most common process uses gravity to fill the mold, however, gas pressure or a vacuum is also used. Picture from Wikipedia link contact

We will introduce each step in detail. It was divided into three web pages to share and now introduces steps 1-3 of die casting mold design on this page. Steps Of Die Casting Die(HPDC Mold) Design Die casting mold design, We often said as the design of die casting dies or die casting die design. Also, Which be called die casting mould design in some countries. The basic steps are summarized as follows: 1. Understand and determine the task 2. Design preparation 3. Select the parting surface and die casting system 4. Choose the die casting equipment 5. Determine the appropriate mold structure and draw the mold assembly sketch * 6. Calculation and verification of relevant parameters * 7. Draw the die casting mold pattern * 8. Proofreading and review * 9. Organize and archive design materials We will introduce each step in detail. It was divided into three web pages to share and now introduces steps 1-3 of die casting mold design on this page. STEPS OF DIE CASTING DIE(HPDC MOLD)DESIGN I 1. Understand and determine the task 1 The task book of die-casting parts is usually given by the part designer, providing a formal part drawing after review and signing, and explaining the grades and performance requirements of the die-casting alloy materials, the use requirements or technical requirements of the die-casting parts, the production quantity and the delivery of the die-casting parts Delivery period, etc. The mold design task book is generally proposed by the die-casting parts technician according to the task book of the die-casting part, and the mold designer uses the die-casting part-task book and the mold design task book as the basis to design the mold. 2. Design preparation 2 1) Collect relevant information Collect and sort relevant parts design, die-casting process, die-casting equipment, mechanical processing, and special processing materials for use in mold design. Understand the melting of die-casting raw materials and die-casting process parameters. Digest the process data, analyze whether the die casting method, equipment model, material specification, mold structure type, and other requirements proposed in the process task book are appropriate, whether the die casting equipment of the die casting production unit, the processing capacity and equipment conditions of the die processing unit can be implemented. Die-casting materials should meet the strength requirements of die-casting parts and have good fluidity, uniformity, isotropy, and shrinkage. According to the purpose of die-casting parts, die-casting materials should meet the requirements of electroplating metal conditions, decorative properties, necessary mechanical properties, or weldability. 2) Structural analysis of die castings Digest the drawings of die-casting parts, understand the purpose of the parts, and analyze the technical requirements of die-casting parts such as manufacturability and dimensional accuracy. For example, what are the requirements for die-casting parts in terms of appearance and performance, whether the geometric structure of die-casting parts, slope inserts, etc. are reasonable, the allowable degree of die-casting defects such as flow marks, shrinkage holes, and porosity, whether there is a coating, Electroplating, machining, etc? Select the dimension with the highest dimensional accuracy of die-casting parts for analysis, and see if the estimated die-casting tolerance is lower than that of die-casting parts, and whether die-casting parts can be die-casted. Specifically including (1) Under the condition of satisfying the structural strength of die castings, a thin-walled structure should be adopted. This not only reduces the weight of die casting but also reduces the thermal load of the mold. The wall thickness of die castings should be uniform, avoid hot spots, reduce local heat concentration, and reduce thermal fatigue of mold materials. (2) All corners of die-casting parts should have appropriate casting fillets to avoid the formation of edges and corners in the corresponding parts of the mold, resulting in cracks and corners. (3) Narrow and deep cavities should be avoided as far as possible on die castings, so as not to cause sharp splits in the corresponding parts of the mold, which will deteriorate the heat sink and cause fractures. When the die castings have smaller size round holes, they can only be on the surface of the casting. Press the punching hole position of the sample, and then post-process the die-casting part. 3. Select the parting surface and die casting system 3 According to the basic principles of selecting the parting surface, the position of the parting surface is reasonably selected, and the number and distribution of the cavity are determined according to the structural characteristics of the die-casting part, and the form of the gating system is selected reasonably so that the die-casting part has the best die-casting forming conditions and the longest The mold life and the best mold machining performance.

On this page, you will understand the meaning of die casting mold, the manufacturing process of the die casting mold, the difference between HPDC and LPDC, what elements will affect the stability, the description of each part, and the common types of alloys. What is Die Casting Mold? Die Casting Mold Definition Die casting mold is composed of two parts, which are separated according to the draft angle of the product. The molten metal is injected from the stationary end, and the die casting part is solidified by cooling. The die casting part will stay on the moving side, and the moving side will pass through the thimble Eject the die casting, spray lubricant on the mold after the die casting is taken out. If you want to learn about the glossary of die casting mold, please see here. In the early stage of the mold, it is necessary to confirm the mold flow analysis and product analysis report, and start simple mold design until the product drawing is approved by the customer; analyze the die-casting material, shape, structure, and size of the product parts from the perspective of die casting processing performance accuracy. High-pressure Die Casting(HPDC) HPDC is poured metal material in the molten state into the pressure chamber of the die casting machine, filled in the cavity of the die casting mold at a very high speed under the moving of high pressure, and the molten alloy material is cooled and solidified under high pressure to cast the high-efficiency precision casting method. Also die casting mold is a tool for casting metal parts, a tool for completing the die casting process on a dedicated die-casting machine. Need to use a cold chamber die casting machine or a hot chamber die casting machine. The usual pressure for die casting is from several MPa to several tens of MPa, and the initial filling speed is in the range of (0.5～70) m/s. Therefore, high pressure and high speed are important features of die casting. The Process Analysis Of General Parts Drawing Should Pay Attention To The Following Points: The material meets the customer's performance requirements Dimensional accuracy Easy to fill Wall thickness, wall connections, ribs, and fillets Parting, die direction and draft angle Slide block and mold core cross, undercut, etc Ejection direction, push rod position Patterns, text, and symbols Other special quality requirements Design Manual Of Die Casting Mold: Biscuit must ensure sufficient fluidity Consider the existing processing range of machinery and equipment CNC, mold saving, EDM processing convenience Emission of gas in the mold Try to consider the post-processing technology Pay attention to the strength of the mold base and insert mold, Design necessary mold temperature device to facilitate performance adjustment during production The balance of the mold when lifting, easy to transport Die Casting Mold Is The Key Process Tool For Casting Production Whether production can proceed smoothly and the quality of castings can be guaranteed depending on the reasonable mold structure. And the design of the die casting mold is essentially a comprehensive reflection of various factors that may appear in the production process. So it is necessary to analyze the casting structure in the design process, be familiar with the operation process, understand the possibility of the implementation of the process parameters, master the filling conditions in different situations, and consider the impact on the economic effect. Reasonable, practical, and able to meet the production requirements of die casting tools. The Important Factor Of Die Casting Mold In The Production Process Determine the accurate shape and casting part size Determine gate system and the filling condition of the molten metal Determine overflow system affects the filling conditions of molten metal The strength of the mold limited the maximum injection pressure Control and adjust the heat balance of the die-casting process The quality of castings when they are taken out The mold casting surface not only affects the quality of the casting and affects the coating spraying Die Casting Mold Manufacturing Process CNC, heat treatment, internal stress removal, deep hole drilling, EDM, slow wire walking, grinding machine processing, drilling machine processing, electrode processing, mold matching, lathe, mold saving, nitriding, coating. Die Casting Mold Base Runner and overflow Die Casting Dies Structure, More Details : 1. Molding System The casting shape is molding after the die casting cavity and the moving core are closed.

It directly affects the speed and pressure of the molten metal molding part. It is composed of a sprue, a runner, an inner gate, etc. 5. Overflow System The overflow system is a channel to remove the air from the pressure chamber. and generally includes venting slots and overflow slots. Sometimes, In order to improve the venting conditions, installed vent plugs in deep cavities. 6. Other There are other components such as bolts and pins for fastening and positioning parts for positioning in the mold. Free Quote & Part Analysis → General Steel Materials For Die Casting Molds: The selection of die casting molds mainly depends on the temperature and type of the cast metal. How to choose suitable mold steel to increase the mold life of die casting molds, especially high melting point metals. 1. Aluminum alloy die casting mold The temperature of the aluminum alloy melt is usually around 1202~1292℉. The mold life of aluminum alloy die casting molds should be focused on whether mold sticking and early dry cracking of the mold cavity occur. At present, General used aluminum alloy die casting mold steels included: 4Cr5MoSiV1 (H13), 4Cr5MoSiV (H11), 3Cr2W8V, and new steel grades Y10 and HM3. 2. Zinc alloy die casting mold The melting point of zinc alloy is 752~806℉, and the surface temperature of the zinc alloy die-casting mold cavity will not exceed 400°C. The materials generally used to manufacture zinc alloy die-casting molds are alloy structural steels 40Cr, 30CrMnSi, 40CrMo, etc., alloy mold steels 5CrNiMo, 5CrMnMo, 4Cr5MoSiV, 4Cr5MoSiV1, 3Cr2W8V, CrWMn, etc. 3. Magnesium alloy die casting mold The melting point of magnesium alloy is 1202℉. Die-casting has a good molding feature. The tensile strength of magnesium alloy castings is equivalent to that of aluminum alloy castings, generally up to 250Mpa, up to more than 600Mpa. The most commonly used is H13 steel or materials with similar properties. After machining, the cavity part is quenched and annealed to make the hardness within the range of 46-48HRC. Only the cavity part and special parts of the mold need to use H13 steel, and these parts generally account for 20-30% of the weight of the entire mold. The other parts of the mold are made of low-carbon steel and medium-carbon steel. For smaller die cast parts with relatively simple geometric switches, molds of standardized modules are often used. Compared with aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy has lower hot melt, and its iron content is also very low. Therefore, the mold has a longer life. How To Maintain A Die Casting Mold During The Non-working Period After the tool is running for a period of time and before storage, check the important dimensions and the mold components may damage that need to be repaired or replaced. After confirming all tool components are no damaged, they must be cleaned up completely. Check whether there is residual material in the cavity, whether the material runner is clean, and whether the parting surface of the mold, top block, and sliding block working surface are strained. The surface of the cavity should be carefully inspected. If there is rust or water rust, it should be polished again. After the cavity is cleaned, to prevent rust, apply anti-rust oil. Before the mold is placed in the storage place, remove the residual cooling water in the mold and the residual oil in the oil pipe, and then use the locking plate to fix the moving plate and the fixed mold to prevent it open. Mold storage is required to be in a flat, dry, clean place that is convenient for lifting and handling. The storage should be classified, and similar molds should be placed together. contact us
