Die Casting

Die casting is an efficient and economical manufacturing process. It is used to produce geometrically complex metal parts that are formed by reusable molds, called dies. These dies generally offer a long service life, and they are capable of producing visually appealing components with high accuracy.

The die casting process involves the use of a furnace, molten metal, a die casting machine and a die that has been custom-fabricated for the part to be cast. The metal is melted in the furnace and then the die casting machine injects that metal into the dies.

Stone Industries has two main types of die casting machines:

Hot-chamber machines (used for alloys with low melting 

temperatures, such as Zinc Die Casting)

Cold-chamber machines (used for alloys with high melting 

temperatures, such as Aluminum Die Casting)

Die casting yields especially high production rates, with parts that require little or no machining, which is widely used to manufacture consumer, commercial and industrial products like automobiles, toys, parts of sink faucet, housings, gears, etc.
