Cold Chamber Die Castings. Our technology had greatly improved through time; nowadays, everything is possible. One of those processes that were bought upon by technology is die castings. This refers to the procedure of forcing molten metal which is under pressure into the mold cavities. Almost all die casting is created from non-ferrous metals such as copper, zinc, magnesium, aluminum, tin and lead. This process is specially needed for applications wherein a huge quantity of small to medium parts are required and must possess a good detail, well surface state, and dimensional consistency. Zinc Castings are typically made using the hot chamber zinc die casting.
Cold chamber die casting procedure, this employ a higher-melting point alloys like magnesium and aluminum for example. Because the cold chamber is situated outside the furnace, this process calls for a means of competently moving the molten metal starting from the holding furnace down to the cold chamber. Basically, the cold chamber is located in the middle of the die and the die casting machine front platen. In transporting the molten metal, this is normally done with the help of a ladle mechanism which may be operated manually or automatically in casting aluminum alloys. In cold chamber die castings, the time consumed may vary. For small machine, it can last for 10 seconds and 2 minutes on the other hand for large machine.
Basically, cold chamber aluminum die casting is used during times when hot-chamber machines are not available. This procedure brings smooth cast surfaces and this help lessen or get rid of secondary machining operations while ensuring fast production rates.
