Zinc die casting tools industry

Zinc die casting tools industry to create a large number of small to medium sized parts from metal, the best process a manufacturer can use is known as die casting. This process starts with melting the metal to be used; then the molten metal is transferred into Zinc die casting tools under high pressure to fill in every cavity of the tool. After this, the metal is then machined into dies which ultimately results in a high quality, smooth finish with good detail. And the best part is that each part is identical up to 0.2% which means that the manufacturer can opt to eliminate the need for post production machining.

Although ferrous metals can be use, the commonly used metals for die casting are non ferrous materials like zinc, aluminum, copper and tin. They are die casting using one of either two machines; the cold chambered die cast machine and the hot chambered die cast machine which is also known as the gooseneck machine. Each machine has its own distinct advantages over the other one and to determine the best one to use would depend on what metal is going to be die casting. But before they are to be died by these machines, they first need to fit into the tools.

Zinc die casting tools are made of hardened steel and they can come in single cavity tools or multiple cavity tools. They also vary in size, shape and design. Depending on the need of the manufacturer, Zinc die casting tooling can cost from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars each.

Zinc Part Types

What You Should Know About the Zinc Part Types. Due to its ductility and versatility, zinc (especially zinc alloys) has become a primary choice of manufacturers for die casting processes. Zinc die casting parts types that come from zinc die castings are very useful for making new objects in various kinds of industries. Even golfers make use of zinc part types, since majority of golf clubs are produced from zinc die castings. Automobile parts and home hardware parts like lock housings used for security purposes also uses the zinc die casting process. Its durability is tried and tested, the main reason why all these industries make use of zinc part types for die casting. With the help of new and modern technological innovations and equipment, the products of the zinc die casting process give satisfactory results like perfect dimensions, right texture of surface and precise form even if the shapes are complex. Finishing touches for the surface of the zinc die casting include processes like polishing, powder coating, chrome plating and brass coating. Nickel plating can also be done to the zinc die cast. Normally, nickel plating is applied to give the zinc part types a smooth and shiny surface.

Examples and types of zinc part types include automotive castings, bathroom faucets, handles, hooks, aerospace parts, die-cast cars, die cast toys, fire alarms, faucets, covers, carburetors, heat sinks, kitchen hardware, door handles, decorations, flanges, motorcycle grips, knobs, pumps and pump handles, pump valves, pump rotors, fishing lures, golf club putters, power tools and so much more. All these are manufactured from one common process – zinc die casting.

Die Casting Zinc Advantages

The Advantages of Die Casting Using Zinc. The concept of die casting is basically the process of forcing molten metal into mold cavities using high pressure. Most of the die casting done in the market are made from metals that are non-ferrous including but not limited to zinc. However, it is also possible to do die casting with the use of ferrous metals, but this is seldom done. Other non-ferrous metals that are used for die casting are copper, lead, tin, etc. Zinc is a popular metal for die casting due mainly to the zinc alloy’s favorable characteristics and advantages over other materials and processes.

One advantage of zinc die casting is the metal’s high strength and its hardness. Zinc die castings are famous for their great impact strength compared to other materials. It may not be stronger than steel but stronger than “steel weldment”. Another preferred advantage of zinc die casting is its castability feature. This is due to the fact that zinc has a fluid nature that beats other metals. Likewise, zinc has a longer die life. In zinc die casting, the die life is 1 million shots before the need for replacement occurs. This is 10 times longer that what is found in other materials like aluminum die casting. The possibility of easier parts consolidation in zinc die casting due mainly to its higher fluidity makes it another advantageous feature of the metal. Lastly, zinc is not expensive compared o other metals and therefore the practical choice for many die caste. It is also readily available. More advantages can be found when die casting zinc. Online sites can provide the information readily.

Die Casting Tooling for Zinc

The Role of Zinc Die Casting Tooling. Zinc parts are produced with the zinc die casting tooling in the zinc die casting machine. The components of the zinc die casting, as well as the zinc dies are alloy tool steels that are divided into two parts. These 2 parts are the ejector die half and the fixed die half, which permit the removal of the castings from the die casting machine. Modern dies may include cores, movable slides or other portions that can produce threads, holes, and shapes as may be required in casting. The sprue holes in fixed die half permit molten metal into the die and fill the cavity. Dies also have the locking pins that serve to secure the two halves. It also includes ejector pins that help in taking out the cast parts and openings for lubricant and coolant.

When the machine for die casting shuts off, the 2 die halves will be held together and locked by the hydraulic pressure of the zinc machine. The die parting line is the machine’s surface wherein the meeting and locking of the ejector as well as the fixed halves happens. The total area of the part’s surface being die casted, the pressure and the die parting line’s measurement needed in injecting metal to the cavity’s die manages to determine the machine’s clamping force.

What people refer to as those die casting molds and insert dies made of zinc are what is referred to as zinc die casting tooling. This tooling is available in various styles, shapes, and sizes. It comes in either 1 or more cavities. Zinc die cast tools varies due to cavity inserts as well as trim dies.

Zinc Alloy Die Casting Processes

Die Casting Processes with the Use of Zinc Alloy. Die casting is the process by which molten ferrous metal, e.g., zinc, magnesium, copper, lead, tin, aluminum, etc., are molded into cavities and placed under pressure to form. The method of die casting is ideal if the application needed is in large quantity and should be well-detailed and has fine quality. Zinc is a non-ferrous metal that is popularly used for die casting. This is due to the fact that zinc alloys have many characteristics that far exceed other metals. Zinc alloys have high strength and hardness, has high thermal and electrical conductivity, low cost, good finishing characteristics, outstanding fluidity, and excellent corrosion resistance among others.

In the zinc die casting process, two processes are involved, the hot chamber method and the cold chamber method. These two zinc die casting processes make use of various types of metal alloys during the production of parts in the zinc die casting process. The hot chamber method involves the process wherein a steel die is filled with a pool of molten metal, all the time maintaining pressure, until the metal hardens. The second process, the cold chamber method, involves the use of two separate chambers, first to melt, then to hold the melted zinc alloy before it is poured into a shot cylinder and afterwards inject them to the die casting die. Before, the metal alloys used in Zinc die casting processes are tin and lead. The zinc alloy however gained popularity and is now the first choice when it comes to die casting.
