Die Casting
PrintDie Casting of Aluminum / Magnesium
One of the most common failure mechanisms when working with melts of Aluminum or Magnesium alloys is heat checking. Gross cracking and corrosion/erosion can also be a problem because of the complex dies used today. Use materials with high temperature strength and good ductility and toughness like
Uddeholm Orvar Superior, or Uddeholm Dievar.
Die Casting of Copper / Brass
Heat checking is the most common failure mechanisms when working with melts of copper/brass due to the high process temperature. Materials with high hot yield strength and temper resistance like Uddeholm QRO 90 Supreme are recommended.
Die Casting of Tin / Lead / Zinc
Erosion (hot mechanical wear) is one of the most common failure mechanisms when working with Tin/Lead/Zinc melts. Produced parts are often thin-walled which requires high injection speeds. Choose a material with high hardness, good ductility and toughness levels like Uddeholm Orvar Superior, or Bohler W360 Isobloc.
