What is Die Casting?

Die casting is a precision manufacturing process that involves forcing molten metal into a mold cavity under high pressure, producing highly accurate, durable, and smooth metal parts. Ideal for complex designs.

Our Die Casting Capabilities

XinCheng provides specialized die casting products that exactly match your needs. With years of manufacturing experience, we offer high-quality metal options, including aluminum and zinc die casting.

Hot Chamber Die Casting

Gooseneck casting is another name for hot chamber die casting, and it is a comparatively quick manufacturing process. Molten metal is forced into the die through Pneumatic or Hydraulic-Oriented pistons. The process is most suitable for metals like zinc and copper.
cold-chamber-die-casting

Cold Chamber Die Casting

It is done at room temperature. A separate furnace is used to melt the metal and then transfer it to an unheated shot chamber. Cold chamber die casting is best used with the metals like magnesium or aluminum for casting.

How Does Die Casting Work?

Die casting is a process in which molten metals of specific types are poured into custom dies. Custom die casting parts are made using these custom dies. In general, die casting works through the following procedures.

Designing

Initial designing of die casting products is performed through designing procedures like reviewing CAD files to match requirements.

Material Verification

Raw materials and tooling procedures are verified to see if they comply with the design requirements of the entire die casting services.

Manufacturing Mold

The core and cavity of molds are usually manufactured through CNC machining. It consists of two halves, cover die, and ejector die.

Heat Treatment

After the part is ejected, it may undergo heat treatment processes like annealing, quenching, or tempering to improve its mechanical properties and strength.

Surface Finishing

The die-cast part undergoes surface finishing processes such as shot blasting, sanding, polishing, or coating to achieve the desired texture, appearance, and corrosion resistance.

Assembly and Inspection

All the finished parts are assembled in accordance with the design specifications, and a complete inspection is performed on these custom die casting parts.

Materials for Die Casting Parts

Leading companies and engineers rely on XC Machining for rapid iterations and durable, high-quality parts. Whether it’s for prototyping or full-scale production, our wide range of materials ensures we meet the unique requirements of any Die Casting project with precision and speed.

Aluminum Alloys

Aluminum alloy is the most common metal used for die casting purposes. This is due to its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, easy-to-use and recyclable characteristics, and good mechanical properties. Cold chamber die casting is often used to manufacture aluminum alloys.

  • Properties: higher thermal conductivity, low linear shrinkage, corrosion resistance, excellent stiffness
  • Aluminum Alloys: A360, A380, A383, A390, A413, ADC-1

Zinc Alloys

Zinc alloys are the most economical and powerful for die casting. It provides great surface finishing options with convenient casting properties. High tolerances and extreme details are some features of zinc alloys.

  • Properties: higher impact strength, great hardness, high-quality surface finishing, fluidity, extreme stability
  • Zinc Alloys: Zamak-2 (ZA-2), Zamak-3 (ZA-3), Zamak-5 (ZA-5), Zamak-7 (ZA-7), ZA-8, ZA-12, ZA-27

Magnesium Alloys

Magnesium alloys are the best when it comes to preventing thermal cracks in die casting molds. Complex cavities are conveniently filled with magnesium alloys. Some of the primary properties of these alloys are as follows.

  • Properties: high strength, considerable fluidity, lower viscosity, high corrosion resistance
  • Magnesium Alloys: AZ91D, AM60B, AS41B

Surface finishes for Die Casting

We offer finishing services for Die Casting, providing a wide range of finishing options to enhance both the durability and appearance of your parts. Whether it’s for prototyping or full-scale production, our finishing solutions ensure that your parts meet the highest standards of performance and visual appeal for all needs.

Brushing is a technique that utilizes abrasive pads or brushes to add a finish to the surface of a material. It is commonly used on metal surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. This method is especially effective on stainless steel, creating either a linear or circular pattern on the surface.

Black oxide coating is a popular choice for enhancing the surface of steel and iron. This finish not only provides a visually appealing dark surface, but also offers excellent wear resistance. Additionally, the black oxide coating can enhance the lubricity and durability of the treated surface, making it an ideal option for various applications.

Passivation is a common process used to enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel by removing iron impurities and forming a protective oxide layer. This helps to improve the durability and performance of stainless steel in tough environments.

Paint serves as a surface coating that is effective on a wide range of materials, offering both aesthetic enhancement and protection against corrosion. It is available in numerous color options, making it suitable for application on metals, polymers, wood, and various other substrates.

Enhance the shine and smoothness of your materials by utilizing polishing techniques. By using abrasives such as buffing wheels or polishing chemicals, you can elevate the reflectivity and overall aesthetic of metals, resulting in a stunning mirror-like finish.

Alodine coating, also known as chromate conversion coating, is widely used on metals like aluminum. It serves as an excellent primer for paint or powder coatings, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant finish. By creating a thin layer of protection, it enhances the bond between subsequent coatings, ensuring long-lasting results.
