The mold, also known as a die, normally consists of two pieces installed in a die-casting machine. The mold is often constructed of steel. The molten metal, various kinds of aluminium alloy are poured into the mould cavity using a plunger that the machine activates. Die casting is a manufacturing method used to make vast quantities of metal parts with great accuracy and consistency. Under intense pressure, molten metal is forced into a mould cavity, forming the required shape.

The two parts of the mold are split when the metal has hardened, and the final object is discharged. It is frequently used to manufacture intricately shaped pieces that would be challenging or expensive to manufacture using other manufacturing processes. Engine parts for automobiles, electrical housings, and appliance parts are some products frequently created utilizing die castings.

Compared to other manufacturing processes, SMT’s die casting has many benefits, such as high production rates, exceptional dimensional precision and reproducibility, and the capacity to create components with thin walls and precise features. It is better suited for large-scale production runs since the tooling setup costs might be high.
