The die-casting process generally consists of six main stages: 1. Mold design: The mold uses non-ferrous metal, considering the component and manufacturing requirements. 2. Preparing the dies: The designed mold is machined to create die halves. 3. Clamping: The die halves are secured within the die-casting machine. 4. Injection: The molten metal is injected into the die under high pressure. 5. Cooling: The metal solidifies within the mold, forming the desired shape. 6. Ejection: The finished part is removed from the die. These stages can vary depending on specific requirements, materials, and machine types.
