Die Casting
CYCO offers comprehensive casting services with advanced technology and superior workmanship. Whether you need complex and high-precision parts or mass production, we can meet your needs.
Overview of Die Casting
Die casting is a metal-forming process in which liquid metal or alloy is injected into a mold by applying high pressure, allowing it to cool and solidify in the mold to create the desired product shape. Die casting is a highly efficient metal molding process, usually applied to mass production, especially suitable for the manufacture of complex shapes and high precision metal parts.
Processes of Die Casting
- Mold preparation: Design the mold according to the shape and size of the final product. The mold generally consists of two halves, including the fixed half of the mold and the movable half.
- Melting metal: Heat a metal or alloy in a furnace to a liquid state.
- Injection: Liquid metal is injected into the mold cavity at high pressure using hydraulic systems.
- Cooling and Solidification: The metal is rapidly cooled and solidified in the mold to form the desired product shape.
- Demolding: Remove the finished product, which usually requires an exhaust system or ejector mechanism in the mold to facilitate smooth release of the finished product.
- Cleaning: Include removal of burrs, flash and other excess material from the casting.

Benefits of Die Casting
High production efficiency: The die casting process is fast, enabling rapid continuous production and suitable for high volume manufacturing needs.
High precision: Die casting allows for the manufacture of parts with complex geometries, thin walls and fine details with high dimensional accuracy.
Excellent surface quality: Die castings usually have a good surface finish, which reduces the need for subsequent processing and allows them to be used directly for assembly or painting.
High material utilization: Due to less waste in the die casting process, the material utilization rate can reach 60% to 80%, which reduces the production cost.
Broad material selection: Not only can it be used for low melting point alloys, but it can also be applied to high melting point metals, providing a wide range of options for design and manufacturing.

FAQs
How accurate are die castings?
Die casting can produce parts with high precision and complex shapes. However, the precision is affected by the mold design, material properties, processing conditions and other factors.
What are the common defects in die casting?
Common die casting defects include porosity, shrinkage, cracks, cold segregation, flow marks, burrs, deformation and so on. These defects may be caused by irrational mold design, improper control of technological parameters, poor material quality and other reasons.
How to prevent or reduce die casting defects?
Optimize the mold design, strictly control the material quality and melting process, adjust the parameters of die casting (e.g. pressure, speed, temperature), and conduct appropriate post-treatment (e.g. deburring, polishing, heat treatment).
How long is the life of a die casting mold?
It depends on many factors, including the mold material, design, processing quality, frequency of use, and maintenance conditions. Generally speaking, a well-designed and maintained mold can produce hundreds of thousands to millions of parts.
