What are the two types of die casting machines?

Oct,17 2024

Each type has its advantages and is suited to different materials and production needs. The choice between hot and cold chamber machines depends on factors like the metal being used, part size, production volume, and specific quality requirements.

 

 

1. Hot Chamber Die Casting Machines:


– Used for metals with lower melting points (e.g., zinc, lead, magnesium)
– The injection system is immersed in molten metal
– Faster cycle times due to integrated metal reservoir
– Better for high-volume production of smaller parts

 

 

2. Cold Chamber Die Casting Machines:


– Used for metals with higher melting points (e.g., aluminum, copper, brass)
– Molten metal is poured into the chamber for each cycle
– Slower cycle times but can handle a wider range of alloys
– Better for larger parts and materials that might attack the injection system
