Die Casting

Die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. The mold cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mold during the process. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminium, magnesium, lead, pewter, and tin-based alloys. Depending on the type of metal being cast, a hot- or cold-chamber machine is used.

The casting equipment and the metal dies represent large capital costs and this tends to limit the process to high-volume production. Manufacture of parts using die casting is relatively simple, involving only four main steps, which keeps the incremental cost per item low. It is especially suited for a large quantity of small- to medium-sized castings, which is why die casting produces more castings than any other casting process.Die castings are characterized by a very good surface finish (by casting standards) and dimensional consistency.

We make Zinc die casting and Aluminum die casting parts, meanwhile our machining facility can complete the secondary operation on the die casting parts. 

with our 50+ sets of Die casting equipment ranging from 75 tons to 3500tons, Maysea could provide precision die casting parts in Zinc or Aluminum Alloy materials.

Die Casting Materials:
Zinc Alloy: ZAMAK3, ZAMAK5, ZAMAK2, ZA-8, ZA-12, ZA-27.
Aluminum Alloy: ADC-1, ADC-12, DIN 1706:231, DIN 1706:260, AlSi9Cu3.
Brass Alloy die Castings.

 
Advantage:
High Precision, better surface than sand casting. 
No casting defects found on or in the castings.  
Combined our CNC Machining operations on the casting parts, we can provide high precision and cost competitive solutions.
