The material selection for die casting mainly include: Aluminum alloy, Magnesium alloy, Zinc alloy, Copper alloy, Lead-tin alloy.
Firstly to consider is the performance requirements of the material, including mechanical properties, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and forFmability.
Different die-casting materials are suitable for different application scenarios, so the material selection for die casting should be based on below specific application requirements:
In short, what is the selection of die-casting material ? The factors such as material performance requirements, cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and compatibility with the production process should be comprehensively considered to ensure the quality and production efficiency of the final product.
Mechanical properties of materials
Die casting materials need to have good mechanical properties to ensure the strength and durability of the final product. For example, aluminum alloy is widely used in the production of automotive parts due to its high strength and good formability. Magnesium alloys have a wide range of applications in fields such as automobiles and motorcycles due to their lightweight and high-strength properties.
Heat resistance and corrosion resistance
During the die-casting process, the mold and materials will experience high temperatures and corrosive environments, so the material selection with good heat resistance and corrosion resistance is crucial.
Forming performance
The forming performance of die-casting materials directly affects the quality and production efficiency of products.
Cost effectiveness
Cost is also an important factor to consider when selecting for die casting materials, while meeting performance requirements. Although imported materials have superior performance, they are expensive, while domestically produced materials are relatively cheaper and can be selected according to the economic conditions and product needs of the enterprise.
Environmental protection and sustainability
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, choosing renewable or easily recyclable materials has become increasingly important. For example, magnesium alloys have advantages in green manufacturing due to their easy recycle ability.
Process compatibility
The material selection for die casting should also consider their compatibility with existing production processes. For example, optimizing the composition and melt quality of aluminum alloy materials, improving the design and process parameters of die-casting molds, can significantly enhance the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of products.
Haichen machine material selection for die casting
Haichen machinery produces high pressure die casting machines. It includes both cold chamber die casting machines and hot chamber die-casting machines.They have high durable and precise features. For example, Haichen cold chamber die casting machine is suitable for material of AL(aluminium) and MG(magnesium) for die casting.
