Cold Chamber Die Casting: This method is suitable for materials with higher melting points like aluminum and magnesium. The metal is melted in a separate furnace and then injected into the cold chamber machine. It's ideal for casting durable and lightweight parts but can be a bit slower due to the need for metal transfer.
Hot Chamber Die Casting: Designed for materials with lower melting points, such as zinc. In this process, the metal remains in a molten state within an integrated furnace connected to the machine. Hot chamber die casting is faster and more efficient for casting smaller, intricate parts, making it cost-effective for high-volume production.
