Die casting technology has played a pivotal role in industrial manufacturing over the past few centuries, offering a broad application prospect. As die casting technology continues to evolve, it will find applications in even more fields. Die casting is a highly efficient metal forming technique, known for its high precision and low product cost, capable of producing complex and precise metal parts (commonly using zinc, aluminum, and magnesium alloys).

The history of die casting traces back to the use of manual plunger injection in typecasting technology. In 1905, Doehler completed a commercially valuable plunger machine, and in 1907, Soss introduced the first commercially available die casting machine. Modern die casting technology is primarily divided into two types: cold chamber and hot chamber die casting. Die casting machines also employ advanced control systems and automation equipment to achieve high efficiency and precision in production. Currently, the materials used in die casting have become more diverse, including aluminum, copper, zinc, and magnesium. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, space, electronics, and construction widely use die casting technology. For example, in the automotive industry, die casting is used to manufacture engine blocks, gearbox shells, and steering housings.

Advantages of Die Casting Technology:

a. High production efficiency: Die casting is a continuous production process that can produce a large number of parts at once, enhancing production efficiency.

b. High precision: The die casting process controls the flow of molten metal, resulting in high-precision parts.

c. Low product cost: Die casting can reduce production costs and improve the cost-effectiveness of products.

Disadvantages of Die Casting Technology:

a. High mold costs: Die casting requires the use of molds, which are costly.

b. High material requirements: Die casting materials must have good fluidity and solidification properties.

c. High process demands: Die casting requires precise control to produce high-quality parts.

With continuous advancements in technology, die casting technology is also evolving and improving. We can foresee the following future trends:

a. Development towards high performance, high precision, and high complexity.

b. Progression towards greener, more environmentally friendly practices.

c. Advancement towards smarter, more automated solutions.

Specifically, die casting technology will develop in the following areas:

a. Developing new die casting materials to enhance the performance of die casting parts.

b. Advancing die casting processes to improve the precision and complexity of parts.

c. Developing intelligent die casting equipment to increase the efficiency and automation level of production.
