  • Q Copper Alloys

    A Copper and copper alloys are incredibly stable, conductive, durable, corrosion and wear resistant. As copper alloys have a greatly high melting point, that cause dies and casting chambers used to treat this particular metal tend to have a significantly shorter lifespan than those used to treat aluminum or zinc metals.

    Commonly used Die Casting Copper alloys:
    YT40-1 (YZCuZn40Pb), YT16-4 (YZCuZn16Si4), YT30-3 (YZCuZn30Al3), YT35-2-2-1 (YZCuZn35Al2Mn2Fe)

  • Q Lead Alloys

    A
    Lead alloy is a kind of metal that is high density, soft, and malleable with a low melting point. Die Casting Lead alloy is added 3~5% Sb. alloy to Lead. Antimony alloy makes the soft Lead harder and easier to eject from the mold cavities during the die casting process.
    Usage of Die Casting Lead Alloy:
    1. Lead acid battery terminals, Lead acid battery bushings, Lead acid battery connectors, Lead acid battery spare parts.
    2. Finishing sinker, Lure bait, Weight parts
     
  • Q Tin Alloys

    A Tin alloys provide high density and extreme accuracy. Its main property is corrosion resistance. Same to Lead alloy, Tin also is the first metal used in the die-casting process. To ensure public health, the use of lead and tin is prohibited in any food service applications. they are typically used in combination with aluminum, zinc, and copper alloys to prevent corrosion.
  • Q Prototyping and Customization

    A CNC machining allows for rapid prototyping and easy customization. Design modifications can be implemented in the CAD software, and the CNC program can be updated accordingly.
  • Q What materials can be used in die casting machines?

    A Die casting machines can be used to cast a variety of materials, including non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc. These materials are commonly used in the production of automotive parts, electronic components, and household appliances.

  • Q How do Cold Chamber Die Casting Machines work?

    A

    Cold chamber die casting machines work by injecting molten metal into a mold at high pressure and allowing it to solidify to form a desired part or component. The process involves several steps, as follows:
    1. To melt the metal in a separate furnace or crucible,
    2. The mold, which is made of two halves (the stationary half and the moving half), is clamped together and prepared for the injection process.
    3. The plunger, which is located within the injection cylinder, then moves forward, forcing the molten metal through a nozzle and into the mold cavity.
    4. The metal quickly cools and solidifies inside the mold, taking on the shape of the cavity.
    5. After a specified period of time, the mold is opened, and the newly formed part is removed.
    6. Any excess material or flash is trimmed away from the part.
    7. The process is repeated for the next cycle.
    Cold chamber die casting machines are ideal for producing parts with complex shapes and tight tolerances, such as those found in the aerospace and automotive industries. The process allows for a high degree of precision and repeatability, making it an efficient and cost-effective manufacturing method.

  • Q what is a cold chamber die-casting machine?

    A

    A cold chamber die-casting machine is a type of metal casting machine that is used to produce high-quality metal parts with detailed, intricate designs. In this type of machine, the molten metal is poured into a separate chamber, also called a melting pot, which is kept at a lower temperature compared to the hot chamber die-casting machine.
    The molten metal is then transferred from the melting pot to the injection cylinder, where it is injected into the mold under high pressure. The cold chamber die-casting process is typically used for metals with high melting temperatures such as aluminum, brass, and copper alloys, and is often used to produce parts for the automotive industry, aerospace industry, and other industrial applications.
