What Metals Can Be Die-casted by Cold Chamber Die Casting Machines?

Cold chamber die casting machines are mainly suitable for die casting of high melting point metals. These metals usually have high melting points and good fluidity, which are suitable for stable die casting process in cold chamber die casting machines. Generally speaking, cold chamber die casting machines can be used to die cast the following types of metals:

Aluminum alloys:
Aluminum is the most commonly used metal for cold chamber die casting machines. Aluminum alloys have low melting points, good fluidity and processing properties, and are suitable for efficient die casting production in cold chamber die casting machines. Common aluminum alloys include ADC12, A380, etc.

Magnesium alloys:
Magnesium alloys can also be die cast using cold chamber die casting machines in some specific applications due to their low density, high strength and good mechanical properties. Common magnesium alloys include AZ91D, etc.

Copper alloys:
Copper alloys usually have high melting points and poor fluidity, but some copper alloys such as brass and tin bronze can also be die cast on some special cold chamber die casting machines.

Other high melting point alloys:
Some alloys with high melting points, such as zinc alloys, can also be die cast in appropriate cold chamber die casting machines.

The working principle of the cold chamber die casting machine is to heat the metal to melt in a separate melting chamber, and then fill the molten metal into the mold by pressure to form the part. Due to the characteristics of this type of machine, it is able to handle high melting point metals and maintain a stable operating temperature, making it suitable for die casting production of the above-mentioned types of metals.
