Materials used in heat treatment, such as aluminum, zinc,copper alloys, and steel, are treated to improve strength and durability.
Die casting heat treatment is an important process that enhances the mechanical properties and dimensional stability of die castings.
This treatment is particularly critical for materials whose microstructure and properties change significantly when heated.
Materials used in heat treatment
The following are the materials used in die casting and their corresponding heat treatment processes:
Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum alloys are one of the most commonly used materials in die casting due to their light weight, high strength. Heat treatment of aluminum alloys includes solutions such as solution heat treatment (dissolving alloying elements) and artificial aging (increasing strength).
Zinc Alloys
Zinc alloys are used in die casting due to their excellent castability and mechanical properties. Heat treatment of zinc alloys often includes aging, which can significantly increase strength and hardness.
Magnesium Alloys
Magnesium alloys are selected for their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio. Heat treatment of magnesium alloys often includes solution and aging processes to improve mechanical properties.
Copper Alloys
Copper alloys, such as brass and bronze, are used in die casting due to their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity as well as strength and corrosion resistance. Heat treatment of copper alloys may include annealing to soften the material and improve its formability.
Steel
Steel is used in die casting due to its high strength and wear resistance. Heat treatment processes for steel include normalizing, annealing, quenching, and tempering, designed to achieve the desired level of hardness and toughness.
