What is diecasting?
Diecasting is a metal casting process in which molten metal is forced under high pressure into a mold cavity. It is efficient, economical and offers a broader range of shapes and components than any other manufacturing technique.
As well as producing durable, heat resistant parts with a long service life, diecasting is also a high-speed process which can deliver quick and accurate results in multiple finishes.
Zinc Diecasting
Zinc is the easiest alloy to diecast and offers high dimensional accuracy, easily electroplated and recyclable. It is also very economical for high volume small parts as it has a low melting point which promotes long die life.
Aluminium High Pressure Diecasting
An Aluminium Diecasting is a lightweight structural metal component that possesses high dimensional stability for complex shapes and thin walls.
Investment Casting
This method, sometimes referred to as lost-wax casting, involves creating a wax pattern by injecting wax into a pattern die. The pattern is then attached to a runner system and this assembly is dipped into a hard setting refractory slurry and cured.
CNC Machining - Computer Numerical Control
This is a manufacturing process which takes your drawings from CAD (computer aided design software) and inputs them into the CNC machine or the electro-mechanical device then to machine to create your product, using a pre-programed computer software (CAM – Computer Aided Manufacturing).
Extrusions
The manufacturing process in which the material is pushed through a die in the shape of the desired cross-section.Once the material has been pushed through the die it is then cooled with air or water to prevent warping.
Aluminium Gravity Diecasting
These castings are produced by pouring molten metal into a permanent metal (typically cast iron) mould under gravity which creates chill castings.
Sand Casting
Sand casting is the simplest and most popular method of casting a variety of alloys
