Zinc Die Casting Tooling. The process of zinc die casting is basically one of the cheapest forming processes of metals. This process involves melting the metal into liquid so that it can be freely poured into a set of dies, or molds. The dies are held together by a clamp, subjected under high pressure until the molten metal solidifies. When the metal solidifies, the set of dies is opened and the molded shape is ejected out from the machine. This process is proven to be economical since the set of dies can be used for over a thousand times.
The industry demands different intricate and precision molded zinc parts that lead to a high demand for zinc die casting machines. Any die casting machine is dependent on its accessories and die casting tooling components. These components are those that guarantee the efficiency, capacity, and effectiveness of the die casting machine.
Die casting zinc tooling is basically the auxiliary component that is also very important in the die casting process. This component is more popularly known as a die insert, or mold. It enables the shaping or the molding of any desired part. There are a lot of standard sizes, styles, and configurations for different die inserts. They also vary in the number of cavities that can be filled in by the molten metals.
Depending on the application, die casting tooling assumes various forms. The most common form of a die cast tooling is in the form of inserts. The other forms include: prototype die cast tooling inserts, for custom made parts; unit die tooling; die cast family mold tooling; and trim dies, which are for zinc die cast parts.
