What Is Precision Die Casting?

Precision Die Casting

Precision die casting is one the most preferred methods of producing metal parts. This process is great for products that require high precision, intricate geometries, fine details, and high accuracy. This process can reach an accuracy of as high as +-0.005 inches in some metals. It can be used for parts that require precise fit and form.

This type is known for producing solid, crystalline parts that are strong and durable. It is also more accurate in dimensional tolerances and less variation. It's an economical solution to small to medium volume metal parts that might not be possible with other processes, like injection molding.

Pre-made tool Steel dies are used for this purpose. The molten metal is then forced into the molds at high pressures to bind it together and make it solidify. The casting is removed from the die with ejector pins.

Aluminum is a common metal for precision die casting. Aluminum is easy-to-machine and resists corrosion making it the ideal material for automotive and medical applications.
Casting can also take place with magnesium alloy and other materials. This material is very popular in medical and automotive industries. Because it has low melting temperatures, can extend the life of the die and offers higher thermal conductivity, it is highly recommended.

It is a good choice when parts require precise dimensional tolerances, especially for those with small walls and difficult geometry. This helps to reduce secondary operations like machining. Additionally, it ensures that parts fit perfectly and perform their intended functions.
