With the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, the aluminum alloy die-casting industry has also obtained many development opportunities, especially the aluminum alloy die-casting castings have been widely used. So what are the manufacturing processes of Aluminum molds? What other matters need attention? Let’s find out together
What is a Die Cast Aluminum Mold?
Die Cast Aluminum Molds is also commonly known as Dies. These molds are used for the mass-production of aluminum parts. Mold making used to be a difficult task before. Thanks to the CNC Machining technology mold making is now faster and more efficient than ever.
Aluminum Die casting Mould requires a material that has higher strength and melting temperature than Aluminum. Otherwise, the die will be damaged during the casting process. Usually, steel molds are used for aluminum die casting.
High-quality steel is quite costly and hard to machine. So, the die tooling cost is relatively high. Even though the high tooling cost, aluminum die casting toolings provides the best economy and quality for large volume production.
How To Make Aluminum Molds
Advantages of Aluminum Die Cast Mold
Aluminum die cast mould has made the production of aluminum parts a lot easier. Some of the benefits of die casting molds are explained below.
- A single mold can produce thousands of parts
- Can produce parts with very tight tolerances
- Can withstand high temperatures
- Can withstand very high pressure
- Significantly reduces production cost for large volume production
- Can manufacture multiple aluminum parts at one go
- Increased rate of cooling and solidification allows faster production
For these multiple advantages, aluminum die-cast mold is being used for boosting aluminum die casting capacity.
