Die Casting Molds and Die Casting Tooling
Die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal alloy is injected into a die casting mold (or die) under high pressure to
produce metal parts. The die casting process requires tooling for die casting. This die casting tooling, sometimes referred to as
molds or die casting dies, comes in many forms. For more information or mold pricing contact us:

Types of HPDC (High Pressure Die Casting) - The die casting process generally falls into two categories,
"Hot Chamber Die Casting" or "Cold Chamber Die Casting" the process is determined by the die casting alloy used
and the die casting tooling type.
Hot Chamber Die Casting is primarily used with lower melting temperature alloys such as zinc. This process is used with a hot chamber die casting machine.
The die casting parts are made by injecting the alloy directly into the die casting mold by the melting pot attached to the die casting machine.
Cold Chamber Die Casting is more the more common die casting process. Cold chamber die casting machines are more common. The die casting tooling used in
cold chamber die casting can diecast any die casting alloy. In cold chamber, the material is fed by a ladle
into a cylinder to be injected into the die casting mold.
Here is a list of the most common types of die casting tooling.
