Advantages Of Die Casting

Advantages of die casting include excellent dimensional accuracy of the casting. Usually this depends on the casting material, typical values are 0.1mm error at the initial 2.5cm dimension and 0.002mm error for each additional 1cm. Compared with other casting processes, its casting surface is smooth and the fillet radius is about 1-2.5 microns. Castings with a wall thickness of about 0.75 mm can be produced relative to sandbox or permanent mold casting. It enables direct casting of internal structures such as wire jackets, heating elements, high-strength bearing surfaces. Other advantages include its ability to reduce or avoid secondary machining, high production speeds, casting tensile strengths of up to 415 MPa, and the ability to cast high-flow metals.
