Aspect Hot Chamber Die Casting Cold Chamber Die Casting
Typical Alloys Lower Melting Point Metals:
• Zinc (Zn)
• Magnesium (Mg)
• Lead (Pb)
• Tin (Sn)
Higher Melting Point Metals:
• Aluminum (Al)
• Copper (Cu)/Brass
• Some Magnesium (Mg) alloys

Process Schematic

The gooseneck (injection cylinder) is permanently immersed in a pool of molten metal housed within the machine The injection chamber (shot sleeve) is separate from the melting furnace. Molten metal is ladled manually or automatically into the cold chamber
Cycle Speed Very Fast (can be <1 second for small parts). No metal transfer step Slower, Ladling step adds time. Higher pressures may require longer intensification
Advantages • Faster cycles, higher production rates
• Better process stability & consistency
• Reduced metal oxidation & contamination
• Longer gooseneck life
• Can cast high-melting-point alloys (Al, Cu)
• Produces higher-integrity, denser parts
• Handles larger part sizes
• More versatile for alloy choice
Disadvantages • Limited to lower melting point alloys
• Generally smaller part sizes
• Slower cycle times
• Higher risk of porosity if not optimized
• Higher wear on shot sleeve and plunger

 

Our engineering team is here to guide you. We analyze your part design, performance requirements, and production volume to recommend the optimal process—ensuring you get the right balance of quality, performance, and cost.
