Metal Die Casting is a Part of Life. We may not know it but metal casting has been a part of our lives for a long time, 6000 years as a matter of fact. A 3200 BC copper frog proves it. However, since the processes and terminologies involved are too technical for the laymen, they seemed to have just trusted the experts or the manufacturers when it comes to their metal casting needs. People would rather just have a finished product than learn the ways and means of producing these metal cast products.
Nowadays, aluminum is the metal of choice for many casters. This is due to the fact that aluminum casting process is more advantageous than other processes in terms of costs, operation and product results. Aluminum casting process manages to produce aluminum cast parts that are of many shapes and sizes. Even complex shapes can be achieved with this process. This is due to the fact that aluminum is very lightweight, highly stable, has good mechanical properties, has high conductivity and manages to maintain its strength even at high temperatures.
There are many types of metals casting processes. These metal processes are continuous casting, die casting, green sand casting, dry sand casting, permanent mold casting, plaster casting, investment casting, lost foam process, hot isostatic pressing and squeeze casting. Only very few metals are capable of being used for all processes and aluminum is one of those metals. This makes aluminum an ideal metal for use in casting. No wonder it has become very popular to the metal casters of today.
