Zinc Die Casting Components: Strength, Temperature, and Electrical Improvements

Article Category: Business

Author Name: Cast Parts

Even though plastic seems to dominate the parts industry, metal die casting experts insist that metal die casting is a production method that is very viable. According to them, die-cast alloys have strength that is two or three times that of engineering plastic and also, these alloys have moduli that are thirty times higher.

Experts in die casting also point to the fact that metal parts made through die casting perform double duty in electrical shielding and heat management. Lastly, they claim that the recyclability of these alloy parts gives these parts a carbon footprint that is extremely low and good end-life options.

Also they state that plastics cannot hold a candle to cast metal parts with regard to dimensional, electrical, thermal, mechanical, and cost performance.

The following is a list of contrasting between and among die casting and other molding processes.

Parsing properties Designers have prime considerations on the subsequent material requirements - heat tolerance, weight and strength. Engineers push aside numerous materials just because of these criteria. Common die cast alloys, in more than a few cases, have better weight, heat tolerance and strength than most plastic materials such as nylon 6 and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.

This means engineers can make die castings that have thin walls. These die castings resist stresses that are able to deform plastic-injection products with similar dimensions. This also means die parts can be made to be lighter and thinner than their plastic equivalents but still fulfill strength requirements.

Heating Up advantage of die casting parts is they are able to tolerate dangerous temperatures. Majority plastics melt at temperatures under 525F. Aluminum liquefies at 1099, magnesium at 1105 and zinc at 729F.

Expensive – Many engineers prefer the plastic injection method believing that plastic tooling is less expensive. However, the price of die casting is comparable to plastic injection tooling. Consider nylon 6 which is a glass-reinforced plastic. Nylon 6 is more difficult to process and it puts more wear and tear on the tools than die cast metal parts do. This is just an example to show that die casting may be the less expensive option.

Warping Die casting parts are steady dimensionally to close tolerances and are stable. Plastic parts are, irrefutably, susceptible to warping and to surface sinking in places just over the ribs.

The Option to Go Green

Customers are increasingly considering the environment when measuring the value and quality of parts. They look into the ability of the parts to be recycled and their carbon footprints. These aspects are being factored and they form what is called the greenness of the parts.

Plastic products are also reusable, but the results are sadly not foreseeable. The effects of the environment, time and temperature on plastic products can lower their potential performance. On the other hand, metal products can be recycled without ill effects on their characteristic properties.

Customers and manufacturers are progressively focusing on the carbon footprints of parts. With regard to die casting, decreasing carbon footprint is easily achievable. This further verifies that the manufacturing cost for die casting can be lowered significantly.
