Let’s now give you some insight how Norck manufactures parts with die casting.

What is Die Casting?

It is a metal casting process in which molten metal is fed into a mold cavity under high pressure. Mold is made from hardened steel and contains the shape of the part to be molded. The die-casting process is used for high and medium-volume production due to the high cost of mold fabrication.

Molded parts are made from non-ferrous metals such as zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, and tin-based alloys.

What are the advantages of Die casting?

Die casting offers many advantages:
•   Accuracy: Die casting offers tight tolerances, around ±0.05mm. Post-machining might be required for functional surfaces.
•   Complex shapes: Die casting provides complex shapes within closer tolerances than many other mass production processes.
•   Rapid fabrication process: The fabrication process time is cut short due to the simplicity of the process.
•   Lower production costs: The production cost is reduced since post-machining operations are reduced or eliminated.

How is it fabricated?

Die casting is made through four steps:

1. Die preparation: Spraying the mold cavity with lubricant to ease extraction of the molded part.

2. Filling: After the two cavities of the mold are closed and injected with the molten metal. The two cavities are maintained close until the metal solidifies.

3. Ejection:
a. The first step is to open the Die
b. Ejecting the casted part with ejector pins.

4. Post-processing: The ejected part will have extra material such as gates, runners, and sprues which must be removed using a press, sawing, or grinding.

Obtaining a fully functional part might require extra processing for features that can be made with Die casting process, such as taping, polishing, and plating. The designed part should follow Die casting design guidelines.
