One, pressurePrecision cast steelCasting process:

Simply put, when a part is die-cast, molten metal is injected into a hardened steel mold cavity. When the metal solidifies, it is pushed out of the thing and the process is repeated. This process varies according to the material you choose, there are hot chamber and cold chamber die casting. The hardened steel mold can create 150,000 to more than 1 million die-casting moldings anywhere, and then it needs to be repaired or replaced.

2. Investment casting process

Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, includes processes such as pressing wax, repairing wax, assembling trees, dipping slurry, melting wax, casting molten metal, and post-processing. Lost wax casting is to use wax to make a wax mold of the parts to be cast, and then coat the wax mold with mud. This is a mud mold. After the clay mold is dried, put it in hot water to melt the internal wax mold. Take out the clay mold from the melted wax mold and fire it into a pottery mold. Once roasted. Generally, a pouring port is left when making a mud mold, and then molten metal is poured from the pouring port. After cooling, the required parts are made.

mostlyLost wax castingDie castings are made of non-ferrous metals such as zinc, aluminum, and magnesium. Investment casting can be followed by non-ferrous metals casting metals, including stainless steel. If you want to use a non-metallic material, the processing process provides comparable characteristics. However, if you want to use stainless steel or copper alloys, casting is a better choice.

Comparison of the molding cycle time of die casting and casting:

Casting and die-casting produce messy parts, and the cycle time varies greatly. Traditional investment casting requires appropriate manpower and time, while die-casting die-casting produces 3-4 times per minute, and multi-slider die-casting is as high as 45 times per minute. A die-cast part can generally be created without the automation of the process!

Analysis of the cost difference between die casting and foundry:

The cycle time determines 60% of your partial cost after all. Therefore, here, casting is generally more expensive than die-casting, which is not weird at all. The components produced by its highly manual process are very similar to die-cast parts, but the cycle time is much longer.

When pouring large volumes,Guangdong alloy steel castingCastings have a higher cost-effectiveness than investment casting. If you only need one or a few parts of the casting required size or stainless steel, casting may be a lower cost option.
