Hot Chamber Die Castings
Die casting is the process of casting molten metal by forcing it into a pre-shaped mould. This process is commonly used in manufacturing industries for casting metals like zinc, aluminium, tin, copper and magnesium.
During die casting, newly molten metal is poured using pressure into a mould of the desired shape. The metal is then allowed to cool. Once it cools and hardens, it is taken out of the mould. Die casting process is of two types- hot chamber, and cold chamber die casting.
In hot chamber die casting, the metal is melted inside the casting machine, and not in a separate furnace. Hot chamber casting machines are also called ‘goose-neck machines'. They feature a built-in furnace to heat and melt the metal. Then, the molten metal is forced out of the furnace and into the die using a hydraulic-powered piston. This is a relatively quick process, taking about 15 to 20 minutes per standard cycle. It is not suitable for casting metals with high melting points, but is optimum for moulding zin, lead and tin alloys.
Apart from High Pressure Die Casting & Gravity Die Casting we also manufacture Hot Chamber Die Castings weight range from 10 grms. To 500 grms.

Know More...Frequently Asked Questions
Hot chamber die casting is one of the methods of die casting with the other being cold chamber die casting. In hot chamber die casting, the metal is melted inside the casting machine and not in a separate furnace.
The machines used in hot chamber die casting are alternatively called gooseneck machines, and they have a built-in furnace to heat and melt the metal. Also, a hydraulic power piston is used to force out the molten metal from the furnace and into the die.
Some products that can be made from Hot chamber die casting are Turning parts, cover panel exterior, a prototype for motor, a cabinet for LED display, cover panel exterior, machining assembly, and many more other products.
The most common magnesium die casting alloy is AZ91D. This alloy has extremely good cast-ability and shows high mechanical strength at ambient temperatures. Some places where it can be applied are automotive engine parts, computer parts, and parts for handheld tools. Another modification of this alloy, AZ91E, is sometimes preferred where corrosion is of prime concern.
The types of dies used in hot chamber die casting are cover die, and ejector die.
The hot chamber machine contains the melting pot, while the cold chamber melt pot is separate, and the molten metal has to be ladled into the shot sleeve. With the internal mechanism, it makes the hot chamber the faster of the two processes. Other advantages of the hot chamber process include reduced porosity and longer die life from utilizing alloys that do not erode or dissolve the machine when put under heat or high pressure.
