Die casting is one of the most advanced metal forming methods. It is an effective way to achieve less chips and no chips. It is widely used and developed rapidly. The size and weight of the castings depend on the power of the die cast machine. Due to the increasing power of the die casting machine, the size of the castings can be from a few millimeters to 1-2m; the weight can be from a few grams to tens of kilograms. Some foundry even can die-cast aluminum castings with a diameter of 2m and a weight of 50kg.
Die casting parts are no longer limited to the automobile industry and instrument industry, and gradually expanded to other industrial sectors, such as agricultural machinery, machine tool industry, electronics industry, defense industry, computers, medical equipment, clocks, cameras and daily hardware. Industry, specifically: auto parts, furniture accessories, bathroom accessories (bathroom), lighting parts, toys, shaver, tie clips, electrical and electronic parts, belt buckles, watch cases, metal buckles, locks, zippers, etc. In terms of die-casting technology, new processes such as vacuum die-casting, oxygen-added die-casting, squeeze die casting, precision and fast-density die-casting and the application of soluble cores have emerged.
