Die Casting Process Explained: Precision, Quality, and Applications

2:55 that's a very neat mold-locking mechanism. Once the piston fully extends, it barely withstands any loads from the high pressure inside the mold. Instead, most of the forces are transmitted through the links and onto the base. Great 3D setup as well, having this all rendered clearly is satisfying to watch.

Thank you so much for the great feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the mold-locking mechanism and appreciated the 3D setup. We wanted to ensure all those intricate details were easy to follow, so it’s awesome to hear the rendering made it satisfying to watch. Thanks again for noticing the setup-comments like yours really keep us motivated to keep raising the bar!

Such a torturous career path...poor die design results in producing one scrap die casting over and over and over and over lol i was stuck in this living hell job for 25 years.. and have carpal tunnel syndrome to prove it....thanks alot pittsburgh die and casting

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s unfortunate to hear about the challenges you faced in the industry, and we truly appreciate your candidness. Die casting is indeed a demanding field, and poor design can make it even more frustrating. Hopefully, advancements in technology and ergonomic practices are making a positive difference for today’s workers. Wishing you the best, and thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I remember one of my engineering students had the same problem in his factory as the rejection percentage of die-cast products was more than 60%. After investigation, we found that the two main reasons were, the die design (mainly the gating system and venting) and the material composition. After using a newly designed die and controlling the material composition the rejection percentage was reduced to less than 20%.
