Die casting alloys casting characteristics mainly includes flowability, dimensional accuracy and surfaces finish, mechanical property, high temperature resistance,etc.
Die casting alloys casting characteristics
Die casting alloys (die casting alloys) is used for die casting process of metal materials, mainly including aluminum alloys, zinc alloys, magnesium alloys, and some special alloys.
These alloys are widely used in various industrial fields because of their excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability and surface finish.
The casting characteristics of die casting alloys include the following:
Flowability of die casting alloys casting characteristics:
- Die casting alloys have good flowability, which allows them to be injected into the mold cavity quickly and efficiently.
- Aluminum alloys, for example, exhibit extremely high fluidity during the die casting process, which allows them to fill the mold quickly and reduce the generation of internal defects.
Dimensional accuracy and surface finish:
- Die casting process can produce castings with high dimensional accuracy and good surface finish.
- Aluminum alloy die casting usually has very high dimensional stability and low porosity, the surface finish can reach a very high level, even without subsequent mechanical processing.
Mechanical properties:
- Die-casting alloys usually have high mechanical properties, including strength, hardness and corrosion resistance.
- Aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and zinc alloys and other commonly used die-casting materials are not only high strength, but also has good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.
High temperature resistance:
- Some die-casting alloys are able to withstand higher working temperatures.
- For example, aluminum alloy is all die-casting alloys in high temperature resistance is the best one, can in high temperature conditions to maintain good mechanical properties.
Recyclability of die casting alloys casting characteristics:
Most die cast alloys are fully recyclable, making them environmentally friendly and cost effective.
Casting Difficulty:
- The difficulty of casting varies from alloy to alloy.
- For example, magnesium alloys are easier to fill complex molds when casting due to their high fluidity, but at the same time may require special attention due to their low strength.
Cost-effectiveness:
- Despite the high cost of die casting equipment and molds, the die casting process has significant cost advantages in high-volume production due to its high productivity and less need for post-processing.
