Types of Die Casting Methods
The two main die casting processes are hot chamber and cold chamber die casting.
Cold Chamber Die Casting
Within this die casting application process, molten metal is poured into the cold chamber or cylindrical sleeve by ladle. A hydraulically operated plunger seals the cold chamber port and forces the metal into the die cavity at high pressure. Cold chamber die casting machines are used for aluminum alloys or Zinc alloys with high melting points.
Hot Chamber Die Casting
Hot chamber die casting machines are primarily used for zinc alloys, copper, lead, and other low melting point alloys. The injection mechanism of a hot chamber machine is immersed in a molten metal bath of a metal holding furnace. The furnace is attached to the machine by a metal feeding system called the gooseneck.
A New Dimension in Technical Die Casting
Elimold is a custom job shop producing precision aluminum and zinc castings using a high pressure die cast process.

Advantages of Die Casting
Die casting services provide a number of advantages. These include:
- The capacity to design and create complex shapes with a high degree of accuracy and reliability.
- Cost savings through the bulk production of parts and components from a single design mold.
- Combining multiple components without the need for an assembly line.
- Reduction of scrap or waste.
- Faster production cycle times.
- Die casting allows for the mass production of complex parts and components in less time and at a lower cost.

Is die casting right for your product?
The die casting process is the fastest option available for producing exact, non-ferrous metal products. Because this method utilizes reusable molds, it offers high-speed production of parts and has the flexibility to create a wider range of shapes and sizes than other casting methods.
Die casting can be completely automated, and its reusable molds also make it an affordable option. This technique is used to manufacture commercial, consumer, and industrial products. Die casting is ideal for medium-sized parts with more complex structures.
