DIE CASTING
Die Casting
Common Metals:
Alloys of lead, tin and zinc can also be cast by this process.
Die Casting
Mold:
These steels have very high melting point and must resist
very high temperatures
Die Casting
Low melting (less than 700oC) alloys of zinc, tin, and lead are
casted in hot-chamber m/c.
Alloy being cost: as higher the melting point, shorter the mold life
Mold material: Grey cast iron has the best resistance to thermal fatigue and
machines easily.
