Prepare the die-casting mold and die-casting machine
Melt the required metal raw materials (such as aluminum, zinc, copper, etc.) in a furnace to turn them into liquid metal
Pour the liquid metal into the pressure chamber of the die-casting machine and prepare for injection
Under the control of the die-casting machine, liquid metal is pressed into the mold cavity at high pressure and speed
The metal liquid cools and solidifies in the mold cavity to form the desired casting shape
The mold is opened and the casting is removed from the mold
In order to smoothly remove the casting from the mold
Also known as gooseneck machines, rely upon a pool of molten metal to feed the die. Hot-chamber die casting is fast in cycle times and convenient to melt the metal inside. But, it is limited to use with low-melting point metals. Therefore, hot-chamber machines are primarily used with zinc-, tin-, and lead-based alloys.
The metal will melt in a separate furnace before being transported to the cold-chamber machine, where it is fed into an unheated chamber. Cold-chamber die casting is more suitable for high-melting point metals but has a slower cycle time because of the transfer of molten metal.

/materials//materials/Die casting rapid molds and production molds are both used in the die casting process, but they have some important differences in terms of their cost, speed, and quality.
Rapid Molds | Production Molds | |
Cost | More economical | Expensive |
Material | Less durable materials, like aluminum, epoxy | More durable material, like steel |
Time & Labor | Save time & labour | More time & labor |
Speed | Faster in design and manufacture | Need more time to design and manufacture |
Quality | Good, but have limitations in terms of dimensional accuracy, finish, and mechanical properties | Better, made from durable materials and are designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures of die casting process |
Lifespan | Shorter | Longer |
Die casting can be used to produce parts from a wide range of materials. The choice of material will depend on the specific requirements of the project, such as the desired properties, cost, and application of the part. Below we listed some common materials we use.
The choice of finish option will depend on the specific requirements of the project, such as the desired appearance, functionality, and environmental conditions the part will be subjected to.
Painting: adds a layer of paint to the surface of the part to improve its appearance and provide corrosion resistance.
Powder coating: applies a powder coating to the surface of the part and provides a durable and corrosion-resistant finish.
Anodizing: forms a coating on the surface of the part to improve its corrosion & wear resistance, and appearance.
Polishing: removes any imperfections on the surface of the part and creates a smooth and reflective finish.
Plating: applies a metal coating to the surface of the part to improve appearance, corrosion resistance, and conductivity.
Bead blasting: uses high-pressure air or water to remove any surface impurities and create a uniform and textured finish.
Die casting is a metal casting process that uses a mold, called a die, to create complex shapes with high precision and consistency. The mold is usually machined from a stronger alloy, a process somewhat similar to injection molding. Once the metal is cooled and solidified, the die will be opened, and remove the finished part.
The tolerance standards for die casting depend on several factors, including the complexity of the part, the size of the part, and the type of material being used. Generally, die casting tolerances are in the range of +/- 0.005 to 0.020 inches, or +/- 0.13 to 0.51 millimeters.
Here we have some basic guidelines for die casting parts:Even wall thickness, rounding of all edges and corners, smooth blending and continuity of all the features，We will provide additional design modification suggestions to make sure your parts are casted successfully.
Yes, we can put PEM studs, nuts, fasteners, or hardware like McMaster-Carr components or inserts into the parts.
You can send us 2D and 3D drawings of the parts to us first and tell us what material, quantity, and finish you would like for the parts. Then we will quote you the price according to your requirements with a DFM report if necessary.
In TurnkeyModel, for supporting customers better and lower expenses in the front stage, our MOQ is 200pcs for die-casting projects.
If new die is required, samples will be ready in 10 to 12 weeks. After getting approval, official parts will be sent within 12 weeks basically.
In Hot-chamber die-casting process, molten metal is injected through the cavity of a pre-shaped mold using pressure. The metal will be heated inside the casting machine rather than a separate machine or furnace.
The die casting parts can be supplied in a natural state or with secondary finishes, like, anodizing, plating, painting, and powder coating but it will depend on the material. Our team will give you further details about your project.
Sure, we can offer a scanning service and make the drawing for you. Once the drawing is confirmed, we can quote you the price for the die casting process. However, for the scanning and drawing-making process, we have our cost standard, and our project engineer will confirm with you ahead of the whole process.

Die casting is a versatile and efficient metal casting process that has both advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the pros and cons of die casting
Die casting can produce complex and highly accurate parts with tight tolerances.
The process is highly automated and can produce a large number of parts quickly and efficiently.
It can produce consistent and repeatable parts with minimal variations.
The process can be used to produce parts in a wide range of sizes and shapes, from small components to large structural parts.
Die casting can produce parts with a smooth and high-quality surface finish.
The cost of making the die mold can be high, which makes it less suitable for small-scale production runs.
Die casting is best suited for materials with low melting points such as aluminum, magnesium, and zinc.
It can result in small air pockets or voids in the material, which can affect the structural integrity and appearance of the part.
The size of the part that can be produced is limited by the size of the machine and the die.
The process has some limitations in terms of the complexity and design features of the part.
Our ability is CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, die casting and so on. No matter what stage of development you are in, you will find a solution at TurnkeyModel.
