Die casting is a manufacturing process that involves injecting molten metal or metal alloy into a mold under high pressure. The mold, also known as a die, is designed to produce a specific shape and size of the final product. The success of a die-casting project largely depends on the choice of materials used in … Read moreCHOOSING THE RIGHT MATERIALS FOR YOUR DIE CASTING NEEDS
The die casting industry is evolving. Today, we know much more details about the features of different alloys and can achieve more impressive results in terms of quality and production speed than a couple of decades ago. That also means that the design phase of any die casting project is now more complex than ever … Read moreKEY POST-CASTING DECISIONS YOU SHOULD MAKE BEFORE DESIGNING THE PARTS
Die casting is the most widely spread method of producing metal parts. It offers numerous advantages, such as enabling high-speed and high-volume production, giving the ability to create complex designs with precision, reducing material waste, etc. However, before launching your die-casting project, you need to know the difference between various types of die casting and … Read moreAN INSIDER LOOK AT GRAVITY DIE CASTING VS PRESSURE DIE CASTING
What do toy cars, cookware, and streetlights have in common? Apart from the fact that everything in this list can be red, yellow, and green, all these objects can be die-cast. Although die casting appeared in 1838 for the printing industry and is now famous as a method of producing metal parts for manufacturing, you … Read moreDISCOVER THE FIVE EVERYDAY THINGS THAT ARE DIE-CAST AND WIN THAT TRIVIA
Do you know the most successful Rolls-Royce ad of all time? “At 60 miles an hour, the loudest noise in the new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock.” Although it’s not said directly, it’s clear that everything in that car works so quietly and smoothly that you don’t even notice it. At Simalex, we believe … Read moreWHO AND WHAT STANDS BEHIND DIE CASTING AT SIMALEX
New solutions appear in different sectors every day. One of them is 3D printing for the manufacturing industry. Today, we’d like to compare die casting, which we already described in one of our previous blogs, to a cutting-edge solution, 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. What are the benefits of each manufacturing method? What are … Read moreAN INSIDER LOOK AT DIE CASTING VS 3D PRINTING
What’s the use of a house that was custom-built for you, but you can’t get inside because no one gave you the keys? The same is true for die casting because it is more than just pressing liquid metal into a mould under high pressure. This process includes several stages, from design to actual use. That’s why … Read moreDIE CASTING A PART IS HALF THE BATTLE. WHAT’S NEXT?
One of the many benefits of die casting is the longevity of its metal alloys. These commonly used alloys for die casts are strong and bear long service lives. The die’s lifespan depends on a variety of factors: part configuration, design, quality expectations, heat treatment, and the type of alloy used, to name a … Read moreADVANTAGES IN DIE CASTING ALLOY LONGEVITY
By offering endless possibilities for components and shapes in an efficient process, die casting is a clear winner among manufacturing techniques. But what about its cost efficiency? Although die casting tools are a high initial investment, this process offers long-term cost-savings by more efficiently producing a higher output of products. LOWERING PRODUCTION COSTS … Read more3 WAYS DIE CASTING SAVES PRODUCTION COSTS
Besides its economic benefits, time efficiency, and general reliability, there is another excellent argument to opt for die casting over other metal casting methods: the comparatively low environmental impact. There are many good reasons why die casting is so popular among manufacturers and secondary processing industries, but today, we are looking at the top … Read moreTHREE ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES OF DIE CASTING
