Aluminum Die Casting Suspension System Parts

Die casting has been around for almost 200 years and most techniques follow the same general process. Some industries have developed additional steps to help meet their manufacturing needs, but they still follow the steps below.
◆Clamping: Dies are cleaned and clamped shut. They are then lubricated to prevent sticking and to control the die’s internal temperature.
◆Injection: Molten metal is injected into the die at high pressure. Pressures can range from 20,000psi to 31,000psi. Injection time is different,because the part is various. Dies with multiple patterns or internal caverns can take longer to fill.
◆Cooling: This process begins the instant molten metal enters the dies. Once the die cavity is filled, the metal can begin to cool. Geometric complexity and the wall thickness of a part all require longer cooling times.
◆Ejection: Once a part is completely cooled, the die halves are pulled apart, and the part is ejected. The process can then start over for the next casting part.
There are different casting methods available for factory. Typically, a part's application, metal type and run size will determine which method is the best choice.
