CAVITY HOUSING
 The cavity housing houses the
cavity insert which is clamped within
the housing by means of the Allen
screws and this is clamped to the
fixed platen of the die casting
machine.
 Material:- MS / C I / SPONGE C I.
CORE HOUSING
 The core housing houses the core
insert which is clamped within the
housing by means of the allen
screws.
 Material:- MS / C I / SPONGE C I.
SPACER BLOCKS
 These are the support blocks
mounted on to the back plate of
the die to support the core
hosing assembly.
 Material:- MS
EJECTOR RETAINER
PLATE
 It houses all types of ejectors
i.e. ejector pins ejector
sleeve& also return pins etc.
 Material:- MS
EJECTOR RETAINER
EJECTOR BACK PLATE
 Ejector back plate supports the
ejector retainer plate for the
purpose of retaining the
ejectors and other elements
housed within the ejector
retainer plate. EJECTOR BACK PLATE
 It is used for serving the
purpose of transmitting the
ejector force from the ejecting
system of the die casting
machine.
 Material:- MS
BACK PLATE
 Holds the moveable portion of
the die assembly and is
clamped to the moving platen
of the die casting machine.

 To form a wall thickness of the casting, it is necessary to ensure
that the core and cavity inserts are kept in alignment after every
cycle i.e. during opening and closing of the die casting for every
shot. This is done so by providing guide pillar and guide bush.
 A guide bush is incorporated in the die to provide suitable wear,
resisting the working surface for the guide pillar and to permit
replacement in event of wear or damage.
 Material:- Case hardening steel – 17Mn1Cr95 hardened to 58/60

HRc with case depth of 0.5 to 0.8mm

 After the solidification of the alloy, die opens and the casting is
ejected out by means of ejectors. The ejector assembly needs
guiding to move forward such that the casting is ejected out in line.
 Thus the guiding of the ejector assembly is done with ejector guide
pillar and ejector guide bush.
 The guide bush is located in the ejector retainer plate abd the
ejector guide bush is press fitted into the core housing from bottom.
 Material:- Case hardening steel – 17Mn1Cr95 hardened to 58/60
HRc with case depth of 0.5 to 0.8mm

RETURN PIN / PUSH BACK
PIN
 During the closing of the die the ejector
assembly must be retracted to its position
for this the pus back pins are incorporated
in the die to push back the ejector
assembly to its rear position as the die
starts closing.
PUSH BACK PINS
 Material:- OHNS – Oil hardness non

shrinkable steel, hardened to 58/60 HRc.
EJECTORS
 The die opens after the solidification of
the molten alloy, the solidified casting
need to be ejected out from the core
die, and the ejection of the casting is
done with the ejectors.
EJECTOR PIN
 Material:- HDS – H13 – T35Cr5MoV1,

hardened to 48 HRc.

 During casting process the hot molten alloy from the furnace is
transferred to the shot cylinder of the machine. This shot is
advanced further to the sprue bush by a plunger. The sprue bush
provides the smooth transition of the molten alloy further through a
feed system a runner is provided on the spreader and die insert and
fills the cavity. Thus the function of the spreader – it allows the
molten alloy to flow through the feed system and fill the
imoressions.
 Material:- HDS – H13 – T35Cr5MoV1, hardened to 48 HRc.

Cavity
 The space within the die casting die that is the size and shape of the part
to be cast. The molten metal flows into this space
and is held until it has solidified.
Cavity Insert
 A separate die component
inserted into the die block
to form an external feature
of the casting. Sometimes
the entire
cavity block is referred to as
the cavity insert.
 Material:- HDS – H13 –

T35Cr5MoV1, hardened to
48 HRc.
Core
 A part of a die casting die that
forms an internal feature of
the casting (usually a feature with
considerable dimensional
fidelity) and is a separate piece
from the cavity block. A core may
be fixed in a stationary position
relative to the cavity or may be
actuated through some movement
each time the die is opened.
Material:- HDS – H13 – T35Cr5MoV1, hardened to 48 HRc.

Cooling Ring & Adaptor
 Cooling Ring : The function of cooling ring is to cool the sprue bush.
 Adapter: The function of adapter is to cool the spreader.
 Material: MS
