Typical Engineering Die Cast Parts (Examples)
• Housings / Brackets
• Gears
• Joints

Die Casting Advantages
• Ability to create complex geometry • Thin walls vs. other casting processes • Excellent dimensional stability • Excellent mechanical strength • Good surface finish • Suitable for high volume production

Die Casting Disadvantages
• High tooling costs and long lead-times
• Difficult to make changes
• Large undercuts are difficult. Cannot use internal slides.
• Limited Alloys
• Cannot produce very large parts as a single piece.

Die Cast Part Design

Design Guidelines
• Similar to Injection Molding. Consider die casting when injected part does not have sufficient strength.
• Wall Thickness function of alloy (typ 1.0 - 3mm). Can go up to 10mm (will be porous - strength not proportional to wall)
• Ribs 80% wall thickness. Shrinkage less of an issue. • Cooling time proportional to wall thickness (injection is
t^2), so can have faster cycle times and thicker walls. • Draft depends on alloy. Assume >1.0 deg, esp. on
cavity side. • Tolerance is a function of the alloy, part geometry and
die construction. • Zinc Alloy Linear: +/- 0.025mm across up to
50mm • Zinc Alloy Hole: +/- 0.015mm up to 25 mm
diameter. • Need overflow wells and secondary ops -> $$ • No internal slides or snap fits.Reference: Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly. Geoffrey Boothroyd,, Peter Dewhurst and Winston Knight.
