How Die Casting Aluminum Works - How It's Made

On a daily basis and practically everywhere, we deal with die-casting aluminum products. Parts for automobiles, power tools, gear housings, and structural components. #aluminiumdiecasting #aluminium #howitsmade It is lightweight, strong, resistant to water, and oxide-proof.

We went to the Metazel production facility to learn about the process of die-casting aluminum, which is one of the most advanced pressure die-casting foundries in Poland and one of the largest in Europe.
00:39 Inside Factories: Metazel
Our product line includes pressure castings of aluminum and zinc alloys for a variety of industries, including automotive, household appliances, construction, electrical and power tools, and many more.
00:59 Aluminium melted
This one is required for manufacturing reasons, which must first be melted in induction furnaces. These furnaces are capable of melting 1.5 tons of raw material in 45 minutes. The melted substance is refined. The refiner is mounted on top of the furnace, and its revolving head delivers argon to the metal treatment bath. Argon ascends, carrying all gases and impurities with it, which are then collected by the melter.
Aluminium in this condition is subsequently moved to melting facilities and fed into machine furnaces. Their function is to keep metal liquid.
02:15 The most advanced casting technologies are used at Metazel Foundry. A robot with a 1 gram precision harvests material using a customized pipette. The pipette sinks beneath the liquid aluminum surface.
As a result of the foregoing, metal injected into the mold is free of contamination caused by air contact.
02:37 Die-casting method
Another way of casting is to use a special ladle to pour into the filling chamber. The material is then forced into the mold and pressed. The whole interior of the mould is filled with liquid metal. The aluminum solidifies and the mold expands.
03:07 Metal structure check
Once we receive aluminum castings, we perform a rentgenographic test to examine the metal structure. Contamination, air bubbles, or discontinuities in the metal structure all have an impact on detail endurance. That is why this examination is crucial.
The cast detail is cleaned and tumble finished or shot-blasted. It is then transferred to the machining department, where it is processed in three-axle, horizontal and vertical machining centers, and NC-controlled turning machines. Threading and turning are completed, and details are machined.
Final samples? Details are sent to the control department, which performs the special quality testing. Measurements with an accuracy of up to 3 microns, endurance and strength testing, and chemical composition analysis of aluminum are all carried out.
We ship die-castings to customers only after we are confident that they meet the most stringent quality standards.
We're here to find out what it's like to work in this field. The popular TV show "How It's Made?" had an effect on this project. He became well-known because of the Discovery TV channel.

good job

Gotta love how they say aluminum.

[@pieterveenders9793]

Why are you typing it wrong like that? I looked at the video and nowhere did I hear them say "aluminum" like you claim.

[@maccajft9616]

It's an English word. From the English language. And our dictionaries say aluminium

[@lookoutforchris]

​@@maccajft9616 from your comment it looks like you can barely use English. The UK changed the name after it was discovered. The US has kept the original word and spelling out of respect for the scientist that discovered it and named it. Any time you find a difference between US/UK English, it's always the UK that had made some change for dumb reasons and the US which has preserved the original meaning or spelling. Brits will eventually destroy the whole language.

Both are correct according to the IUPAC, which is the final word on the matter, not your dictionary.

Used to pour molten aluminium and gun metal by hand years ago when I worked at cooper roller bearings

excellent learning video for die-casting processing

[@ShiMiDCM]

wow, thanks a lot , very nice video . we are die casting machine manufacaturer since 2008.

[@mrcatty191]

Wow! Very cool video!!! 😎

[@insidefactories]

Thank you much!

[@myself248]

The bad narration really takes away from the great footage!

[@user-jf5vq7rn7t]

haha，I also shot similar shots for our factory, especially when I was close to the melting furnace to see the aluminum liquid being kicked up, it was amazing

[@insidefactories]

What do you do at work ? Seeing metal in a liquid state is amazing. 😃😵‍💫

[@user-jf5vq7rn7t]

@@insidefactories i m sales but i always go to the workshop to learn about the production process and check the production progress of products.

Examination xray?

[@flackenstien]

I always wondered what "die cast" meant, but it's just another word for molded? Thought there'd be more to it.

its Zinc and not Aluminium 4:25
