The three primary types of die casting are:
Cold Chamber Die Casting: In this method, molten metal is transferred to the die casting machine’s chamber from an external furnace. It is commonly used for alloys with high melting points, like aluminum and copper.
Hot Chamber Die Casting: This technique is suitable for low-melting-point alloys, such as zinc and magnesium. In hot chamber die casting, the molten metal is already within the machine, reducing the need for external melting furnaces.
Gravity Die Casting: Unlike the previous two methods, gravity die casting does not rely on high-pressure injection. Instead, molten metal is poured into a die using gravity. This process is ideal for thicker and more massive parts, often made from aluminum and other metals.
