Looking for Shot sleeves and Plunger tips
Shot sleeves and Plunger tips are key components in die-casting machines and you can purchase them from Haichen. As a core component of die-casting machines, shot sleeves main function is to inject molten metal from the plunger tip into the mold cavity. It needs to maintain a stable temperature, prevent metal penetration, and extend its […]
The repair function of die-cast shot sleeves
The repair function of die-cast shot sleeves restores critical dimensions and surface integrity, extending service life by 50–70% at 30–50% lower cost than replacement. Shot sleeves in die casting are cylindrical components that hold molten metal before injection into the mold. They are susceptible to wear and tear from the high temperatures and pressures of the process. Repairing or […]
What are the most common metals used in die cast mold？
Die cast mold metals are specialized tool steels and alloys engineered to withstand extreme thermal cycling, abrasion, and high-pressure molten metal exposure. Metals need to meet the stringent requirements of high temperature, high pressure, wear resistance and thermal fatigue resistance. Die cast mold metals–Aluminum Alloys Lightweight The density is only 2.7 g/cm³, which is 1/3 of steel, […]
What material is used in HPDC molds？
HPDC molds are primarily made from specialized hardened tool steels like H13, P20, and 420 stainless steel. HPDC molds material directly affects mold life, production efficiency, and part quality. The core material of HPDC molds is alloy tool steel, which achieves high heat resistance, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance through precision machining and surface treatment. […]

Gas Porosity in die casting
Gas Porosity refers to the bubbles or holes formed when the gas in the molten metal does not completely escape and solidifies during the die casting process. Gas Porosity Morphology Usually round or oval in shape, with a smooth surface and a diameter ranging from microns to millimeters. Distribution Due to the buoyancy of gases, […]
What is shot in die casting？
Shot in die casting is the core link of the die casting process, which refers to the process of injecting molten metal into the mold cavity at high speed and high pressure through the injection mechanism of the die casting machine. In die casting, “shot” refers to the complete injection cycle where molten metal fills […]
Why cause blisters in die casting？
Blisters in die casting are surface defects that manifest as bulging or raised bubbles on the surface of the casting, usually caused by the expansion of trapped gas inside. Air bubbles not only affect the appearance but can also damage the mechanical properties and airtightness of the casting, especially in subsequent processes such as electroplating […]
