High/ Low Pressure Die Casting
The die casting process forces molten aluminum, magnesium, and zinc under high pressure and control speed into the cavities of two part tooling molds—a fixer die half and an ejector die half with the impression of the casting component fabricated into the die or mold. Pressure is maintained on the mold until the hot metal solidifies and once hardened, the die is opened to remove the casting.
Hot Chamber Die Casting
Used for zinc, some magnesium alloys, and other low-melting alloys that do not readily attack and erode metal pots, cylinders, and plungers.
Cold Chamber Die Casting
Better suited for metals with high melting points such as aluminum, metal is liquified and then ladled into a cold chamber where a hydraulically operated plunger pushes the metal into the die.

Benefits of Aluminum for your Die Casting Project
The most significant advantage of aluminum die casting compared to other processes like machining, or sheet metal forming is that aluminum can create intricate 3D designs very efficiently at a lower cost. Because of this, manufacturers are able to order customized castings that are ideal for their production needs. Aluminum die castings can turn molten metal into a near-net shape part in seconds, so machining or other operations can be eliminated.
Aluminum die castings are 100% r ecyclable and all of the material involved in the production of aluminum die castings is recycled. The ingot comes from recycled material and all of the excess material and any scrap castings are recycled in-house.
Material
QC Mold can provide Pressure Die Castings produced using hot chamber and cold chamber production die casting machines. Die cast components of any size and volume can be produced in die casting machines (“presses”) – that range in tonnage from 80T to 3500T. Machine tonnage is selected based on a number of factors including part size and cavitation – the quantity of cavities in the tool. QC Mold offers a wide range of material selection, covering but not limited to, aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, brass, copper, magnesium.
【Aluminum Die Casting】 Used to produce light but strong parts.
【Zinc Die Casting】 Zinc is used to produce ductile plated parts.
【Magnesium Die Casting】Recommended in producing light parts that require a excellent strength but keeping the weight in check.

Die Cast Tooling Advantages
Wide Range of Complex Applications
Excellent Dimensional Accuracy
Close Tolerances
Smooth Cast Surfaces
Casting Tensile Strength
Reduce or Eliminate Post Machining Operations
Rapid Production Rates
Finishing:
Post finishing includes blasting, polishing, plating, painting, printing, anodizing, and precision fine machining. Pressure die casting is a method of processing aluminum into engineering shapes by molding molten metal into hardened pressure die casting molds.
Secondary Operations & Machining
Production die casting tools are designed to produce components that meet dimensional requirements and the process can cast in external threads. When the finished dimensions and other features cannot be met by the casting process secondary operations are utilized to ensure specific features, areas and dimensions of the castings meet the required tolerances. Die castings are commonly drilled, tapped, reamed and are precision CNC machined to meet design criteria and dimensional tolerances required for product performance and quality.
