1：what is die casting machine ? A die casting machine is a machine used for pressure casting. Including hot press chamber and cold press chamber. Finally, they are divided into two types: straight and horizontal. The die-casting machine hydraulically injects the molten metal into the mold for cooling and forming under pressure. After the mold is opened, a solid metal casting can be obtained, which is initially used for die-casting type. With the advancement of science and technology and industrial production, especially with the development of industries such as automobiles, motorcycles and household appliances, die-casting technology has developed extremely rapidly。 2: Brief history of die casting machine development Die casting technology has been developed for more than 150 years. At the beginning of the 19th century, due to the rise of the printing industry, typecasting machines for lead casting came into being, and soon evolved into hot chamber die-casting machines on the basis of typecasting machines. By the middle of the 19th century, the typical hot chamber die-casting machine was born. After entering the 20th century, the hot chamber die-casting machine became more and more mature, and the cold chamber die-casting machine came out. In the second half of the 20th century, die casting machines experienced greater reform, evolution and innovation, and die casting machines entered a new period of development. In the past 20 or 30 years, die casting machines have developed very rapidly in terms of large-scale, automation, unitization and flexibility. In recent years, the high-tech of die-casting has continuously put forward higher and newer requirements for die-casting machines. Die casting production not only plays a leading role in non-ferrous alloy casting, but also has become an important part of modern industry. In recent years, some countries rely on technological progress to promote thin-walled and lightweight castings, which has led to a change in the concept of evaluating a country's casting technology development level from casting production to using the level of technological progress as an important basis for measuring a country's casting level. 3:Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine The metal is melted outside the machine, and then the molten metal is added into the compression chamber with a spoon. According to the direction of the compression piston movement, it can be divided into a vertical cold pressure chamber die-casting machine and a horizontal cold pressure chamber die-casting machine. Among them, the molten metal is taken out of the furnace of the vertical cold pressure chamber die casting machine and poured into the compression chamber, and the metal is hydraulically injected into the mold by the compression piston, and the excess metal is pushed out by another piston. The horizontal cold chamber die-casting machine is the same as the vertical one, except that the direction of movement of the piston is horizontal. The vas...

The density of aluminum alloy die castings is relatively small, and it has the characteristics of high strength, strong toughness and light specific gravity. Therefore, under the same structural area, the weight of structural parts can be reduced, so aluminum alloy die-casting parts are widely used in many machines and some precision small parts. The surface gloss of aluminum alloy is brighter than that of ordinary metals, and it has good corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and fresh water, so it has a wide range of uses in the manufacture of civil utensils. Aluminum alloy die-casting parts have good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. They are also suitable for use in heat exchange devices used in chemical production and parts that require good thermal conductivity in power machinery, such as cylinder heads and pistons of internal combustion engines. alloy to manufacture. Due to the large solidification latent heat of aluminum alloy, under the same weight conditions, the solidification process of aluminum liquid lasts much longer than cast steel and cast iron, and has good fluidity, which is beneficial to casting thin-walled and complex-structured castings. Aluminum alloy die castings not only have the characteristics of high strength, strong toughness, light specific gravity and texture of metal, but also have the characteristics of light weight of plastic and diversified surface technology. Therefore, aluminum alloy die castings are widely used in various fields. For example, it is widely used in door bath hardware, banking, aviation, electronic products, ships, building materials, home appliances, various vehicles and instrument industries. The following Nanhai Fengyi Hardware will explain to you the following advantages of aluminum alloy die castings:        1. Aluminum alloy is conductive;        2. Aluminum alloy has high fluidity, which can fill the mold at the fastest speed during die casting;        3. Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of high strength, strong toughness and light specific gravity;        4. Aluminum alloy has strong viscosity, and it is easy to stick to the mold during die-casting;        5. Aluminum alloy has strong corrosion resistance and wear resistance;        6. The density of aluminum alloy is relatively low. For products with the same volume, the quality of aluminum alloy is relatively light, so it has the characteristics of lower price than other alloys.

1. Casting speed: The casting speed of aluminum die castings is directly proportional to the liquid cavity of the ingot. If the casting speed increases, the liquid cavity and temperature gradient of the ingot will increase, resulting in a large shrinkage stress at the bottom of the liquid cavity and increasing the probability of thermal cracks in the ingot, so the speed must be controlled. 2. Casting temperature: A good casting temperature of aluminum die castings will keep the liquid metal in good fluidity, thereby reducing tissue stress and preventing cracks. The general casting temperature should be determined according to the material type and ingot specification. If the temperature is not suitable, it will increase the internal stress and cause the casting to crack or crack. If the temperature is too low, it is not good, because it will cause defects such as cold shut, slag inclusion, or even cracks on the surface of the ingot, and the casting cannot continue in severe cases. 3. Liquid level height: The position of the liquid level of die castings is also very important. If it is too low, it will increase the thermal cracking tendency of the material and seriously affect the casting process. If the liquid level is too high, the degree of segregation of the ingot will increase. Therefore, there should be a suitable liquid level height. Die-casting aluminum alloy castings have advantages that other castings cannot compare with in the application process. The product quality is very light and the appearance is very beautiful. The application of aluminum alloy castings is deeply loved by users, especially since the lightweight of automobiles, the casting industry has been widely used in automobile production.

Cast aluminum alloy has some advantages that other castings cannot match, such as beautiful appearance, light weight, corrosion resistance and other advantages, making it widely favored by users, especially since the lightweight of automobiles, cast aluminum alloy castings have been widely used in the automotive industry Applications.   The density of cast aluminum alloy is lower than that of cast iron and cast steel, but its specific strength is higher. Therefore, the use of aluminum alloy castings under the same load conditions can reduce the weight of the structure, so aluminum alloy castings are widely used in the aviation industry, power machinery and transportation machinery manufacturing. Aluminum alloy has good surface gloss and good corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and fresh water, so it is widely used in the manufacture of civil utensils. Pure aluminum has good corrosion resistance in oxidizing acid media such as nitric acid and acetic acid, so aluminum castings also have certain uses in the chemical industry. Pure aluminum and aluminum alloys have good thermal conductivity. They are also suitable for heat exchange devices used in chemical production and parts that require good thermal conductivity on power machinery, such as cylinder heads and pistons of internal combustion engines. manufacture.

Aluminum die castings are core components widely used in mechanical equipment manufacturing. However, finished aluminum die castings often have minor defects such as air bubbles, cracks and deformation, which directly affect product assembly and equipment operation performance. It is essential for manufacturers to figure out the defect causes and control die casting quality effectively. Most aluminum die casting defects are caused by unreasonable production design and improper operation. Firstly, incorrect mold structure and inappropriate die casting process schemes will lead to uneven forming and leave pores and cracks on casting surfaces. Secondly, unreasonable casting structure design, wrong operating methods and incorrect process parameters are major triggers of deformation and structural defects. In addition, unskilled operators with insufficient production experience will greatly increase the defective rate of die casting parts. Since aluminum die castings play a vital role in mechanical operation, poor-quality castings will bring hidden dangers to the whole equipment. Enterprises are advised to strictly inspect aluminum die casting products during procurement and avoid defective parts. For slightly defective castings, timely professional repair and testing must be completed before installation and application. Standardizing die casting processes and strengthening quality inspection can effectively reduce defects and ensure stable mechanical operation.

Two dies are used in die casting; one is called the "cover die half" and the other the "ejector die half". Where they meet is called the parting line. The cover die contains the sprue (for hot-chamber machines) or shot hole (for cold-chamber machines), which allows the molten metal to flow into the dies; this feature matches up with the injector nozzle on the hot-chamber machines or the shot chamber in the cold-chamber machines. The ejector die contains the ejector pins and usually the runner, which is the path from the sprue or shot hole to the mouldcavity. The cover die is secured to the stationary, or front, platen of the casting machine, while the ejector die is attached to the movable platen. The mould cavity is cut into two cavity inserts, which are separate pieces that can be replaced relatively easily and bolt into the die halves.
