The most common metals used in cold chamber die casting machines are aluminum, brass, and copper. These metals have unique properties that make them ideal for die casting. For example, aluminum is lightweight and has excellent thermal conductivity, making it ideal for automotive parts. Brass is durable and resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent choice for plumbing fixtures. Copper is malleable and has excellent electrical conductivity, making it ideal for electrical components.
The cold chamber die casting machine consists of several key components. The first component is the melting furnace, which is used to melt the metal. The furnace is typically heated using gas or electricity, and the metal is melted at a temperature of around 600-700°C. Once the metal is melted, it is transferred to the injection system.
