  • What is die in die casting

In die casting, the die is a precision-engineered steel mold used to shape molten metal into the desired part. It consists of two main parts:

Cavity: The hollow section that forms the shape of the final part, designed to match the exact specifications of the component.

Core: A movable part (if needed) to create internal features like holes or undercuts.

Key Features:

Made from high-strength tool steel to withstand high pressure and temperature.

Typically split into two halves: the fixed die (attached to the injection system) and the ejector die (which releases the part).

May include cooling channels to regulate temperature and speed up solidification.

Designed for repeated use, enabling high-volume production.

The die is critical to achieving the precision and consistency of parts produced in die casting, as used by manufacturers like Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd. for complex components.
