Die casting is a metal casting process by pouring molten metal into a mould or die under pressure to produce desired shapes or forms. Mostly die castings are made by non ferrous metals such as copper, aluminium, zinc etc.
Die Casting is used to make large number of small to medium size castings. Examples include Engine blocks, engine covers, nuts & bolts and many more.
Most of the die castings are made from Non-ferrous metals such as Aluminium, zinc, coppet etc
Die casting.
Pressure die casting is the term used when metal is forced under high pressure into a die casting mold or die. The die casting process in USA is "pressure die casting" but referred to simply as "die casting" refer to http://www.kineticdiecasting.com/what-is-die-casting.html
Metal casting can be done thro sand casting ,investment casting , pressure die casting methods
The tooling for gravity casting costs less than pressure die casting but the part cost in pressure die casting is much less. see Sand Casting. Die Casting: In the high pressure, requires a die casting machine to inject molten liquid or semi-liquid metal to a higher rate of die-casting mold cavity filling and solidification under pressure, forming and casting methods obtained. Gravity Casting: Uses the gravity or weight of the metal to fill the cavity producing a metal part. It does not require the use of an expensive die casting machine. The tooling cost is lesser for gravity casting because of the lower pressures needed to produce parts.
The automotive and parts industries rely on die casting technologies. Both of these industries are major purchasers of die casting.
In sand mold casting the molten metal is poured in to the mold cavity , while in pressure die casting the molten metal is forced under high pressure in to the cavity. The sand casting process is used for small batch production where pressure die casting is used for mass production.
Die casting is done by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold. Gravity die casting is a simpler method in which molten metal is poured into the mold rather than using force and high pressure. Gravity die casting is mostly used for only simple shapes, while die casting can be used for much more complex ones.
It is process of making Alu. zinc component die. and material flows in die by Gravity force only no external pressure applied as Pressure Die Casting. Gravity casting is the liquid metal in the Earth's gravity into the casting process, also known as gravity pouring casting. The generalized gravity casting include sand casting, metal casting, investment casting, lost foam casting, clay mold casting; narrow-defined gravity casting refers to the metal casting. uses the force of gravity, to fill a permanent mold, or die, with molten material. It does not use the high-pressure method to form the casting. It will ensure that there will not be any clusters formed during this gravity casting process. The method has advantages like cost effective, good quality, and process control over other casting techniques.
The die casting process is used in many applications. Automotive parts are made using die casting, as well as Lighting, Electronics, Aircraft, Boats, Hardware, Speakers, Appliances, and many others. Die Casting is a metal injection process.

In order to work in die casting it is a necessity to have a diploma from high school. Unlike other jobs, a post-high school education is not necessary for die casting.
