Examining the Differences Between Hot-Chamber and Cold-Chamber Die Casting

What is Die Casting?

In the most basic terms, die casting is the process that involves the use of high pressure to force molten metal into a mold cavity to produce metal parts; these mold cavities are made of two hardened tool steel dies that are machined to conform to the specifications of the respective part or product.  For optimum results, most die castings are manufactured from non-ferrous metals i.e., metals that do not contain iron to any appreciable amount.

There are essentially two types of die casting processes – hot-chamber and cold-chamber:

What is Hot-Chamber Die Casting?

Hot-Chamber Die Casting Process – a pool of molten metal is forced into the mold cavity via pressure applied by a pneumatic-powered or hydraulic-powered piston.  The advantages of hot-chamber die casting include fast cycle times (up to 15 cycles per minute on average) and the convenience of melting the metal directly in the chamber/machine; a drawback to this process is its limitation to metals with low melting points only.

What is Cold-Chamber Die Casting?

Cold-Chamber Die Casting Process – use of this method requires the metal to be melted in a separate furnace then transported in precise amounts to the cold-chamber machine; this molten metal is then injected or shot into the mold by hydraulic or mechanical pistons.  Use of the cold-chamber die casting process is ideal metals with high melting temperatures; its primary disadvantage is longer cycle times, due to the additional step of transferring the molten metal from a separate furnace to the machine.

As intimated above, the metal point or metal temperature of the respective metal dictates the type of die casting process that must be applied; a synopsis of the common metals most often used in each method would include:

• Hot-Chamber Die Casting
  • Low melting-point metals/alloys – zinc, lead, magnesium 
• Cold-Chamber Die Casting
  • High melting-point metals/alloys – brass, copper, aluminum

In general, die casting is one of the most versatile metalworking processes; consequently, the use of die casting is common across a wide range of industries for the manufacturing of parts, components, and finished products in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Some examples of its application would include:

It is important to note that few metalworking/manufacturing methods can be applied for all products or with all types of materials, and this relates to die casting as well; some of the limitations of the hot-chamber and cold-chamber die casting processes are the lack of cost-effectiveness for low-volume production runs and its diminished efficiency when the weight of a part or product exceeds 75 pounds.

Precision Molds for Optimal Results in Hot-Chamber and Cold-Chamber Die Casting

Many of the production efficiencies/benefits associated with either method of die casting are directly dependent on the accuracy and quality of the molds used in the specific processes.  And while manufacturers might have the financial assets to invest in die casting equipment that can be used on a repeat basis, this may not be applicable to the one-time development of the actual mold or molds.

In order to achieve optimal benefits from their use of die casting, manufacturers might want to engage the mold-making expertise of the team at Noble Precision; these capabilities are supported by Noble Precision’s investment in state-of-the-art technology, specifically the latest in 5-axis simultaneous CNC machines and CAD/CAM software.

Rapid Prototyping and Its Advantages in Product Development and Manufacturing

By definition, rapid prototyping is the production of a scale model (prototype) of a physical part or product using multi-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) software. The actual construction of that part or product is done via 3D-printing or additive layer manufacturing technology. And, in fact, the terms three-dimensional printing or additive manufacturing are often used interchangeably to describe the process of rapid prototyping.

Very often, when product designers want to demonstrate how new products will look, feel, and perform, they do so through digital models; while this is the more inexpensive method, it may not be conducive to gaining approval for the design from management and/or clients. Because these groups often want to see new products in physical rather than virtual form.

But building a physical model can be time-consuming, not to mention expensive. Especially if it is found after testing that the prototype needs to be altered before going to production.  And this is where rapid prototyping can offer a number of significant advantages, including:

• Faster and more cost-effective than constructing a full-scale model
• Eliminates the cost and time need to develop special molds and tools
• Minimizes waste; uses only the material needed to build the prototype
• Can make parts of miniscule size and/or that have complex geometries
• Provides a realistic three-dimensional design vs a computer screen image
• Permits the identification of any design flaws prior to any mass production
• Design changes can be done without the need to modify the entire process
• Easier testing – properties of the material closely resemble the final product
• Changes can be made immediately, eliminating the need to wait for feedback

There are several processes that can be used for rapid prototyping; the most common are:

• Stereolithography (SLA)
• Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
• Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
• Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
• Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM)
• Multi Jet Modelling (MJM)
• Digital Light Processing (DLP)

Determining which of the above types of procedures to use will be based on such factors as:

• Production volume
• Speed of production
• Financial considerations
• Geometry of the part/product
• Intended use of the part/product

However, in order to appropriately align these production-related and cost-related factors to the right process among the various types of rapid prototyping, manufacturers and/or their designers may find it beneficial to consult with the experts from Noble Precision.  The team at Noble Precision has extensive experience in rapid prototyping, from very intricate parts to larger-scale models, and thus can ensure that their outputs from this methodology will meet the specifications, expectations, and business needs of their clients. 

Rapid Prototyping Service to Support Your Product and Parts Development Needs

Cutting-Edge Technology: 5-Axis Simultaneous CNC Machining and Its Advantages

Within the metal machining industry, the processes of metal removal and parts fabrication were once quite laborious; manually-operated equipment and multiple adjustments/set-ups were prevailing aspects in all production runs, resulting in time-consuming jobs and outputs that were less-than-precise on a repeatable basis.

However, there have been significant improvements since those days of manually-operated machinery.  This advancement has resulted from a proliferation of computer-controlled and multiple-axis technologies that have essentially revolutionized the metal machining industry, allowing the manufacture of parts and components that were once considered impractical from the standpoint of size, as well as the time and/or the cost invested in their fabrication.

This technology has evolved to what is known today as 5-axis simultaneous CNC (computer numerical control) machining.  With respect to its applications, this cutting-edge technology involves the use of a CNC machine to move a part or component or a cutting tool along five different axes at the same time; these five axes consist of the traditional variables of three-dimensional space (commonly known as x, y, and z) plus two rotational axes (labelled a and b) which rotate around the x-axis and y-axis respectively.

There are several benefits to be gained from this cutting-edge 5-axis machining technology; the most notable would be the need for just a single set-up for the simultaneous removal of metal (milling and drilling) along those multiple axes.  In turn, this has improved the overall manufacturing/fabrication of metal parts and components in the following ways:

• Faster cycle times
• Greater cost efficiency
• Reduced production times
• Improved quality/tolerances
• Faster (reduced) delivery times
• Use of multiple tools in synchronization

Additionally, these advancements have permitted the machining of very intricate parts with the highest degree of accuracy; consequently, industries in which this degree of complexity is required in their parts manufacturing, will find the application of 5-axis simultaneous CNC machining to be particularly beneficial.

5-Axis Machining Can Provide Practical Solutions to Complex Manufacturing Needs

Blow Molding Requires Precision Molds to Assure the Highest Standards of Quality

When performing some type of do-it-yourself home renovation project, many people have undoubtedly been frustrated by an inability to cut or shape their construction materials with a sufficient degree of accuracy; crown molding that does not meet precisely at a 90O angle, floor tiles that chip while being cut to size, and interlocking brickwork that will not properly interlock are just a few the countless examples that might have immediately come to mind.  Consequently, while those jobs were still completed, they were likely not to the desired level of satisfaction.

Imagine then, the challenges faced by companies in the manufacturing industry, where the need for precision is not only non-negotiable from the perspectives of competitiveness, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction, but must also be sustained on a repeatable basis; and this becomes further magnified if the parts or products are being made from heat-sensitive or delicate materials and/or entail intricate cuts, angles, or shapes.

This is where waterjet cutting technology can be a particularly beneficial industrial process.

The application of waterjet cutting technology involves the use of a thin, highly-pressurized stream of water to cut parts, shapes, or components with a substantial degree of accuracy.  The pressure of that stream, or waterjet, is created by a specially-designed pump that can achieve levels ranging from 50,000 to 90,000 pounds per square inch (PSI), sufficient to cut thick and/or hard metals/materials; in some cases, an abrasive substance may be added to the waterjet to aid in the cutting process, especially if it is being performed on material that is softer in nature, such as rubber or wood.

Furthermore, unlike various other forms of machining technology, waterjet cutting is carried out in the absence of heat; thus, along with creating cuts and angles with a high degree of exactness or accuracy on a repeatable basis, this process also protects the material against exposure to high temperatures that can adversely affect its physical structure or properties. And for good measure, the waterjet cutting process can be performed while the material is submerged in a tank of water, hence significantly reducing the amount of noise that can be produced by this type of technology.

To summarize, there are several cost efficiencies and other production-related benefits that can be derived from waterjet cutting; these can include:

• Producing extremely high accuracy rates and high rates of repeatability
• No need for custom tooling, a practical option for limited production runs
• The flexibility and capability to cut a single-layer or multi-layered material
• Edge quality is good, minimizing/eliminating the need for secondary finishing
• Cutting in the absence of heat protects the cut edges from damage/distortion
• Operator safety i.e. noise reduction and less airborne dust, smoke, and fumes
• Effective utilization of resources – water and abrasive material can be recycled

Capitalizing on these efficiencies and benefits for optimal return depends on how effectively the waterjet cutting process is implemented as well as the precision/accuracy of its output; consequently, manufacturers within and outside of the Greater Toronto Area can confidently rely on Noble Precision for their waterjet cutting needs.

5-Axis Waterjet Cutting to Highly-Complex Levels with Several Types of Materials

Noble Precision has made a significant investment in state-of-the-art 5-axis waterjet cutting technology, and the latest in associated CAD/CAM software, to provide clients with accurate and clean-edged cutting of complex parts and components from a wide variety of materials. In essence, 5-axis waterjet cutting technology allows more detailed cuts to be made than traditional three-dimensional methods (x, y, and z axes) via a synchronized or simultaneous movement around two rotational axes as well (a and b planes).

As a result, 5-axis waterjet cutting can be used to make cuts, contours, bevels, chamfers, etc. with almost any level of intricacy and to various widths and depths.  While the majority of the above cutting actions are applied to sheet metal, the 5-axis machining capabilities of Noble Precision can provide waterjet cutting for several other types of materials, including:

• Waterjet Cutting: How Can Water Cut Through Steel?

Using the right equipment is a critical aspect of creating effective and efficient metal fabrication assemblies. When you need to transform metal sheets into specific shapes, your production line may rely on stamping dies to do the job. These are precision tools used for cutting and forming sheet metal. They come in a few varieties, and they perform an array of functions. Noble Precision has the means to employ the proper application for the job at hand.   

Metal Stamping Dies Technology

Here are the basic types of dies used for stamping in metal fabrication:

• Progressive: These are utilized for high-volume production, and they are generally appropriate for high-speed operations. They offer an economical and efficient method of getting parts into production.
• Transfer: This type is also used for high-volume manufacturing. Transfer dies are ideal when the parts are medium to large in size, as well as round in shape and deep-drawn.
• Line: Line dies actually come in two types: manually loaded and robotically loaded. They work well for low-volume production, as well as for large parts that cannot be produced efficiently in one press.

Uses for Metal Stamping Dies

Cutting is the most common use for which metal stamping dies are needed. The metal is placed between two sections, and the degree of cutting clearance will depend on the particular operation.

The ways that the tools might be used to cut metal are as follows:   

• Shearing – The metal is sliced in a straight line. Shearing is ideal for blanks that are square or rectangular in shape.
• Trimming – Flat sheet metal is cut at its outer perimeter. Pieces might be trimmed to achieve various desired shapes.
• Notching – Cutting is performed progressively on the exterior section of a metal strip. This serves to create the strip profile necessary for a given project.
• Lancing – Metal is sliced in order to move it without removing it from the strip. This function is typically applied when producing a certain kind of part carrier, known as a flex or stretch web.
• Piercing – This technique is also referred to as perforating, and it involves cutting sheet metal to create a hole in it. The metal slug created from the perforation is discarded as scrap.
• Blanking – Often implemented on a large scale, this cutting process serves two purposes. First, the slug may be retained for further press-working. Blanking may also be performed to cut finished pieces from the sheet metal. When slugs are created during this kind of operation, they are shaped, and they are referred to as blanks. The blanks may subsequently be cut or formed for a different use.

One of the top strategies for cost-efficiency in manufacturing is to create a usable mold. A quality template should yield many parts or components in the production process. Noble Precision implements a variety of processes to create these template products. Two of the most commonly used techniques are plastic blow molding and injection molding. These practices provide virtually endless solutions for manufacturing companies of various types and sizes.

Putting Injection Molding and Blow Molding Technology to Use

By making use of two highly effective technologies, we can create templates that serve your bottom line. Both of these processes involve different sub-categories. The specific technique used will depend on the kind of end product that a company produces. The primary difference between blow molding and injection molding is that the first is used to produce hollow parts, and the latter is used to create solid components.

These are different kinds of blow molding processes:

• Extrusion: When this is performed continuously, a hollow tube or partially shaped mass (known as a parison) is fed into the mold and then cut off after formation. When carried out intermittently, each new tube or mass is only inserted after the previous one has been shaped and expelled.
• Injection: A core rod is utilized to form a parison in the shape of a cylinder. The product is then extruded from the machine.
• Injection Stretch: To implement this process, both of the above are combined. First, the plastic is pre-formed. Then, it is fed into a machine, reheated, and blown with compressed air into a bottle.   

The following are various types of injection molding techniques:

• Thermoplastic Injection: Thermoplastic polymer is employed to create an end product. This material may be transformed into a liquid state, whether it is heated or has already cooled.
• Hot Runner: This requires a manifold, which heats plastic resin that has been melted. This may be done internally or externally.
• Cold Runner: Plastic resin is injected into a mold cavity via a casting feature (called a sprue). This process can be used to decrease waste, but it may increase production time.
• Overmolding: Also known as two-shot molding, this involves covering a substance with an injection mold. Typically, the covering substance (overmold) is a compound with a texture similar to rubber.
• Insert: Multiple components are combined to form a single product. One substance is inserted in the cavity, and then, another substance fills the remainder of the mold to surround the first component. This can lend more strength to the final product, while keeping its weight as low as possible.

Blow Molding Requires Precision Molds to Assure the Highest Standards of Quality

In the most basic of terms, blow molding is a process used in the manufacturing of hollow plastic parts.  This production method is a successor, in a manner of speaking, to the art of glassblowing, and it has permitted the replacement of heavier and/or breakable glass parts with lighter and more durable items or components.

Regardless of the specific parts or items to be produced, the general blow molding process remains consistent throughout.  It begins by melting the plastic and forming it in a parison (or hollow plastic tube) that has a hole in one end to allow compressed air to pass through.  The parison is placed in the mold and pressurized air is applied through the hole to push or force the melted plastic to take the shape of the mold; once that plastic has cooled and hardened, the mold is opened and the part/component is removed or ejected.

There are in fact three main types or variations of the blow molding process; these include:

Extrusion Blow Molding – this is essentially the general process described above, as it is derived directly from glass blowing techniques.  In this case, a metal blow pin is inserted in the opening of the parison and the melted plastic is forced, or extruded, into the mold using compressed air.  This is considered the simplest method of blow molding; it is also time-effective and cost-effective and hence is commonly used for high-volume production runs.  

Injection Blow Molding – in this method, the parison is formed around a core pin using Injection Molding then the injection mold is opened and the parison is transferred to the blow mold for the production of the part/component using the extrusion process.  Because this practice often has a lower production rate, it is the least-used method of blow molding, often reserved for small medical vials and single-serve bottles.

Injection Stretch Blow Molding – in this particular process, the injection molded parison is stretched before it is transferred to the blow mold.  This allows for the production of parts or items that are more rigid, less porous, and have higher transparency and better impact resistance; it is therefore a favoured method for producing bottles/containers for carbonated beverages.

Blow molding is applied in the manufacture of a wide range of products; a sampling of such items would include containers or bottles for:

In order to produce such vessels, etc., with the volumes, efficiencies, and quality/tolerances demanded by their customer base, manufacturers will need blow molds (and in some cases injection molds too) that are very precise in their design; it would be unfathomable to think that distributors of drinking water or sodas would accept plastic bottles that are malformed and/or prone to leaks or rupture.

Therefore, manufacturers who employ blow molding within their production methods would be well-advised to consult with the precision mold-making experts from Noble Precision as a means of assuring the highest standards of quality for their specific products/outputs.

Precise Blow Molds to Help Manufacturers Attain the Highest Possible Efficiencies

Noble Precision has the capacity to design/produce precise blow molds for the production of parts/components in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.  This expertise is reinforced by Noble Precision’s considerable financial investments in state-of-the-art technology, notably the latest in 5-axis simultaneous CNC machines and CAD/CAM software; this commitment allows their clients to benefit from the most advanced and accurate machining methodology.
