Die casting is a manufacturing process that uses high pressure to force molten metal into a mold cavity. There are two main types: hot-chamber die casting, where the mold remains closed and molten metal fills a chamber before being injected, and cold-chamber die casting, where molten metal is poured into an open chamber before injection. Die casting allows for precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, and high production rates, though it requires expensive equipment and is best for large quantities.

DIE CASTING
VIPUL G DIE CASTING
Die casting is a manufacturing process for
producing accurately dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth surface metal parts
It is a process for producing metal parts by
forcing molten metal under high pressure into a die cavity There are two main types of Die Casting process:
Hot-Chamber Die Casting
Cold-Chamber Die Casting
Hot-Chamber Die Casting
Sequence of steps in die casting of a part in the hot-chamber process
Hot-Chamber Die Casting
Cycle in hot-chamber casting:
(1) with die closed and plunger withdrawn, molten metal flows into the chamber Hot-Chamber Die Casting
Cycle in hot-chamber casting:
(2) plunger forces metal in chamber to flow into die, maintaining pressure during cooling and solidification. HOT CHAMBER : Die is closed, gooseneck cylinder is filled with molten metal. Plunger pushes molten metal through gooseneck into cavity. Metal is held under pressure until it solidifies. Die opens, cores retracted; Plunger returns. Ejector pins push casting out of ejector die. e.g. Zn, Pb; COLD CHAMBER:
Sequence of operations in die casting of a part in the
cold-chamber process. Cold-Chamber Die Casting
Cycle in cold-chamber casting:
(1) with die closed and ram withdrawn, molten metal is poured into the chamber Cold-Chamber Die Casting
Cycle in cold-chamber casting:
(2) ram forces metal to flow into die, maintaining pressure during cooling and solidification COLD CHAMBER:
Die closed, molten metal is ladled into cylinder
Plunger pushes molten metal into die cavity Metal is held under high pressure until it solidifies Die opens, plunger pushes solidified slug from the cylinder Cores retracted Ejector pins push casting off ejector die Advantages of die casting Excellent dimensional accuracy Smooth cast surfaces Rapid production rates. Thin sections are possible It is economical for large production quantity Disadvantages of die casting
Not economical for small quantity
production. The cost of machines, dies and other equipment used is high The cost of machines, dies and other equipment used is high. CENTRIFUGAL CASTING Working of centrifugal casting: It works on basic principle of centrifugal force on a rotating Component. In this process, a mould is rotated about its central axis when the molten metal is poured into it. A centrifugal force acts on molten metal due to this rotation, which forces the metal at outer wall of mould. The mould rotates until the whole casting solidifies.
The slag oxide and other inclusion being
lighter, gets separated from metal and segregate towards the centre. Types of Centrifugal Casting
