Its invention revolutionized the manufacturing sector, particularly in the production of inline movable type, eliminating the need for labor-intensive hand-setting in the publishing industry. Throughout its history, die casting has undergone significant advancements, encompassing various alloys and applications, and has emerged as a pioneering automation technique.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1565e73\" data-block-id=\"1565e73\"><style>.stk-1565e73 .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#28292a) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\">In 1849, J. J. Surgiss, a German American immigrant, obtained a U.S. patent for his hand-operated hot chamber die casting machine. This invention facilitated the efficient production of types used in the printing industry, offering significant labor savings. Subsequently, die casting machines found widespread adoption in the printing industry, serving as the catalyst for automation. Over time, die casting technology has continued to evolve, enabling the mass production of diverse components and parts.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a4ef510\" data-block-id=\"a4ef510\"><style>.stk-a4ef510 .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#28292a) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\">A notable development in die casting machinery occurred with the introduction of modern cold chamber die casting machines by Czech engineer Josef Pfolak. These machines featured a separation of the melting pots and plunger system, overcoming corrosion challenges associated with submerged plunger systems in hot chamber machines. Furthermore, this innovation increased plunging force and enhanced feasibility for mass production requirements.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Definition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0887257\" data-block-id=\"0887257\"><style>.stk-0887257 .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#28292a) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\">Die casting, analogous to plastic injection molding, utilizes distinct tooling steel, mold flow design, melting equipment, and plunging systems due to the high temperature, high pressure, and short solidification time of the casting material.

Die casting parts are manufactured in a waste-free manner, enhancing cleanliness and safety in the work environment.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\ude45\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5312c30\" data-block-id=\"5312c30\"><style>.stk-5312c30 .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#28292a) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\"><strong>1. High initial capital expenditure (Capex)<\/strong><br>Die casting equipment, including die casting machines, melting pots, holding furnaces, and die casting tooling, entail higher costs compared to other casting processes such as low-pressure casting, sand casting, or gravity casting.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-c95b579\" data-block-id=\"c95b579\"><style>.stk-c95b579 .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#192a3d) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\"><strong>2. Limited range of alloys<\/strong><br>Currently, die casting primarily accommodates non-ferrous metals, including tin, lead, zinc, aluminum, copper, and magnesium. While metallurgists continuously explore and develop different alloys for various purposes, these six basic metals serve as the foundation of die casting alloys.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8bacdbf\" data-block-id=\"8bacdbf\"><style>.stk-8bacdbf .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#28292a) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\"><strong>3. Air entrapment<\/strong><br>In the absence of a vacuum environment during the injection of molten alloy into the cavity, air can be trapped in the injection channel and cavities. Turbulence caused by mold flow obstacles can lead to air entrapment, resulting in air pockets or shrinkage in specific areas and affecting the surface density and appearance of the parts. Excessive air content can compromise the mechanical strength of the parts. Die casting parts are generally unsuitable for welding or heat treatment due to the potential expansion of trapped air at high temperatures, which could compromise structural integrity and strength. Therefore, meticulous mold flow design is crucial to ensure the quality of die casting parts.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-527278f\" data-block-id=\"527278f\"><style>.stk-527278f .stk-block-text__text{color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#28292a) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\"><strong>4. Challenges with thicker sections<\/strong><br>While conventional wisdom suggests that thicker sections enhance mechanical strength, this principle does not hold true for die casting. Increased wall thickness leads to higher porosity and shrinkage, posing challenges. The automotive industry has developed high vacuum die casting (HVDC) to address this issue, although minimal air entrapment inside the parts remains. The industrial standard allows a maximum of 5cc of air per 100g of aluminum, although acceptability depends on the specific application and operating conditions. Vacuum die casting necessitates additional investments in vacuum valves, valve control systems, and tooling modifications to accommodate vacuum routing, resulting in additional expenses.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5fef523\" data-block-id=\"5fef523\"><style>.stk-5fef523 .stk-block-text__text{text-shadow:0px 0px 0px rgba(58,79,102,0.7) !important;color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#192a3d) !important;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,\"Apple Color Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Emoji\",\"Segoe UI Symbol\" !important}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color\">For a more comprehensive understanding of these subjects, we encourage you to reach out to our<strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed);\" class=\"stk-highlight\"><strong><em><a href=\"mailto:service@evercast.com.tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sales Team<\/a><\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span>for further information.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Die casting, a precision casting process, originated in 1838 for the production of movable type in the printing industry.
