Important Metals (Zinc, Aluminum, and Brass)

Important Metals. Manufacturing a die cast metal part needs equipment like hot-chamber or cold-chamber machines. These machines have the die or mold in them, as well as the injection component for a high pressure mechanism. This will push the molten metal into the die chamber and fill the mold. The machine also has a mechanism to separate and eject the finished product.

How do you define die casting? Simply put, die casting is a process of manufacturing metal parts by molding the molten metal. The metals used are ductile, malleable metals with a high degree of heat and electric conductivity, high strength and corrosion resistance, wear resistance, can be easily plated, and with good dimensional stability, namely: aluminum, copper, magnesium, tin and lead, and brass. The metals have low iron content and low melting point, but sometimes ferrous, or iron, metals can be used.

Manufacturing these die cast parts is done in a specialized company with the right equipment and expertise. The finished products are used in a variety of industrial fields: automotive die cast parts, aeronautics, telecom, factories. Die cast metals are also present in households, in some kitchen apparatus and furniture, bathroom products such as shavers, storage shelves, and even in metal plumbing fixtures. In the field of telecommunications, these die cast parts are present in mobile phone antennas, laptops and computers; and finally they are very popular as die cast toy collectibles.

In fact, metal parts made using the die casting process is everywhere to be found in our modern world. Die cast companies are manufacturing hundreds of products for hundreds of different industries and trades. That is how important these metals are to us today.
