Zinc Die Cast Tooling. Also known as zinc die casting dies or zinc die casting molds, zinc die casting tooling is an indispensable equipment in the zinc die casting process. It comes in various shapes, sizes and design but it only has a single purpose. Zinc die cast tooling allows the molten zinc to be shaped by applying pressure and heat.
First of all, the Zinc die casting tooling consists of solid alloy steels. These alloy steel are usually divided into two sections and are used for the casting of the molten zinc alloy. The first part is the cover half. This half is usually the one that is fixed in a cast. The other one is the ejector die half. This other half is used for the removal of the solidified zinc alloy. It includes pins to keep the two halves together until the zinc solidifies.
Over the years, engineers have created zinc tooling, die casting tooling which consists not only of two sections as mold. Modern zinc die casting tooling may now contain slides and cores. This is because many zinc parts now require certain details such as holes and threads. With slides and cores, such requirement can be applied.
Besides the pins, hydraulic pressure is applied to the halves to help with the solidification process. Pressure is applied for about 2-15 seconds depending on the size of the zinc die casting tooling. Lubrication is applied to make the separation of the zinc alloy from the casting easier. Added operations are performed in order to trim and polish the product.
