Die casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is injected into a mold under high pressure. The process is primarily used for non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, zinc, and magnesium. The high pressure ensures that the molten metal fills the mold completely and solidifies in a short amount of time, which results in high precision and good surface finish. Die casting is known for its ability to produce complex shapes with excellent dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces.

Applications: Automotive parts, electrical components, industrial machinery, and household items.

Advantages:

• High precision and surface finish.
• High production speed and efficiency.
• Ideal for mass production.

Disadvantages:

• Limited to non-ferrous metals.
• High initial tool cost.
• Can be prone to porosity if not carefully controlled.
