High-Precision Die Casting and Forging Machinery Components

1. Selection Based on Casting Requirements

Casting Materials

Different casting materials require corresponding mold types. For aluminum alloy castings, aluminum alloy or cast iron molds are suitable; for high-temperature alloy castings, high-temperature alloy steel or nickel-based alloy molds are preferred. When selecting mold materials, it is essential to ensure compatibility with Metal Welding Services and Sheet Metal Welding Services to guarantee a smooth mold manufacturing process.

Shape & Size of Castings

For simple and large-sized castings, sand molds are typically used. For complex and high-precision castings, metal or investment casting molds are more appropriate. The design of parting surfaces should also be considered to facilitate mold release. Complex mold geometries often require advanced manufacturing techniques such as 5-Axis CNC Milling and Precision Laser Cutting.

2. Combined with Production Batch Selection

Single Piece or Small Batch Production

Low-cost, rapid production methods like sand molds or simple plastic molds are ideal for single-piece or small-batch production.

Mass Production

For mass production, high-precision, long-lasting metal or alloy steel molds are recommended to maintain efficiency and product quality. In such cases, mold processing accuracy and productivity are critical—automated processes like CNC Milling Service and CNC Turning Service effectively meet these demands.
