Working principle and importance of die casting machine
1. Working principle of die casting machine
A die-casting machine is a device that injects molten metal into the mold cavity through high pressure to quickly form complex parts. It is like a precise sculptor, carving liquid metal into workpieces of various shapes and sizes. In the die-casting process, the die-closing mechanism of the die-casting machine first closes the mold, and then the injection mechanism injects the molten metal into the mold cavity at a very high speed and pressure. After the metal cools and solidifies, the mold opening mechanism opens the mold and takes out the molded casting.
