How we design aluminum die casting molds
In the design of aluminum and metal casting molds, we support the Customer at every stage. This is through a co-engineering service that aims to achieve an exceptionally cost-effective product that effectively meets the company’s processing needs.
From the feasibility study to the last tests, each aluminum die casting mold we develop follows a quality cycle based on continuous monitoring and testing and constant updates with the Customer.
These are the steps we follow for effective design of die casting molds:
Main clients with whom we have developed projects
Fabrication and assembly of aluminum molds
Once the design is developed, the production phase is started, with the construction of the aluminum die casting mold according to the specifications identified together with the Customer. Our construction department can make large die casting molds with a maximum weight of 55 tons.
Construction of Die Casting Molds
These are the main steps we follow in the construction and manufacture of molds for aluminum and metal alloys:
material input
All materials used to make die casting molds undergo various tests and quality checks. Only those products that pass the checks proceed to use in the order.
block preparation
Once the steel is received in raw form, the work of squaring and flattening the molding parts used in the die casting and all the components accompanying the mold is begun.
drilling
When the mold blocks are squared off, we proceed with the drilling stage, including the making of the cooling circuits. The cooling circuit is a key component in aluminum molding, ensuring precise and quality die casting processing.
Roughing
After the drilling stage is finished, the blocks are transferred to the roughing department where milling and rough turning of figure impressions are carried out.
heat treatments
Plugs, inserts and other molding parts are heat-treated by certified and qualified suppliers. This is done to obtain a mold with superior characteristics when die casting aluminum and other metals, with products characterized by better hardness.
finish
Upon return from heat treatment, the stamped parts undergo finishing milling operations. At the end of these operations the parts are dimensionally finished and sent to Quality Control.
Check
Finished mold parts undergo dimensional inspection by laser scanning. State-of-the-art tools are used to evaluate part dimensions, relating them to the mathematics developed.
Die casting mold assembly and testing phase
We test each mold before delivery. In this way, the Customer will receive a mold that is fully functional and ready to be used in the company’s aluminum and other metal stamping processes
Mounting
Mold components are assembled together to test their perfect operation in die casting of aluminum and other alloys. Using die test presses, mold closures are tested, testing them at strategic points with centesimal and Prussian blue probes.
Dimensional control
When the mold is fully assembled, we perform an additional laser scan to confirm the dimensional conformity of the mold.
Eight assembly stations and three die-testing presses allow for the best possible testing of dies, ready for die casting and molding processes.
Quality control
Each component of the aluminum die casting molds undergoes functional testing to verify its quality and certify its consistency with the Customer’s needs.
Specifically, cold and hot checks are carried out on the temperature control circuits of the various parts up to a temperature of about 100°, cylinder leakage checks up to a pressure of 260 bar, and dimensional checks with reports that we provide to the Client.
Who we make die casting molds for
With forty years’ experience and thousands of molds made, we have become the reference point for many companies in need of high-performance die casting molds. We actively co-engineer with the Customer by developing the preliminary design so as to guarantee the performance of the mold and prevent any future problems.
