Choose gooseneck in die casting includes material selection, shape and function, operation mode and so on.

The gooseneck is the core component of hot chamber die casting. Its main function is to connect the molten metal pool and the mold cavity. And inject the molten metal into the mold through the piston rod.

1. Choose gooseneck in die casting: Process requirements and application scenarios

Therefore, the design and material of the gooseneck directly affect the quality and production efficiency of the die casting. For example, for castings that require high precision and complex shapes. You can choose a gooseneck with a special design. Such as a swan neck gooseneck, which can achieve higher precision.

2. Choose gooseneck in die casting: Material selection and heat resistance

The gooseneck is usually made of high-temperature resistant materials. Such as cast iron or forged steel, to ensure that it can operate stably. And for a long time in a high-temperature molten metal environment. In addition, some high-performance goosenecks may also use special coatings (such as silicon nitride coatings) to improve corrosion resistance and service life.

3. Choose gooseneck in die casting: Shape and function of gooseneck

Depending on different process requirements, the shape of the gooseneck can divide into straight, curved and special customized types. For example:

• Straight gooseneck: suitable for basic applications, simple structure and low cost.
• Curved gooseneck: suitable for forming castings with complex shapes, such as U-shape or deep groove.
• Special customized gooseneck: designed for specific needs, such as customized gooseneck for zinc alloy die casting machine.

4. Operation mode and flexibility

Modern die-casting machines usually equip with flexible gooseneck control systems, which can adjust the position and angle of the gooseneck according to production needs. For example, some equipment allows the gooseneck to move up and down during operation to better control the flow of molten metal.

5. Maintenance and life

The maintenance requirements of the gooseneck are high because it often exposes to high temperature environments. Therefore, when selecting a gooseneck, it should consider its durability and maintenance cost. For example, some high-performance goosenecks may need to be regularly replaced with coatings or heat treated to extend their service life.

6. Applicable materials and process limitations

Hot chamber die casting is generally suitable for low melting point metals (such as zinc, lead, tin, etc.), while cold chamber die casting is suitable for high melting point metals (such as aluminum, magnesium, etc.). Therefore, when selecting a gooseneck, it is necessary to ensure that its material and design can adapt to the type of metal used.

7. Economy and efficiency

For small castings that are produced repeatedly, it may be more economical to invest in a dedicated gooseneck mold. Dedicated gooseneck molds can reduce mold wear and improve production efficiency.

Choosing a suitable gooseneck requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as specific process requirements, material properties, production efficiency, and economy. For example, for high-precision and complex-shaped castings, it can select a swan neck type gooseneck ; for small castings that produce repeatedly, it can consider a dedicated customized gooseneck. In addition, ensuring the heat resistance and maintenance convenience of the gooseneck material is also a key factor
