Name: Hamid.SH Email: [email protected] Subject: Disquisition(Die Casting) Message: America�s most fundamental industry, metal casting, continues to play a critical role in the success of U.S. manufacturing through the production of the high quality castings. In fact, castings are used in 90% of all finished manufactured products. As an important segment of the larger metal casting industry, die casting produces over one-third of all metal castings. Today, over 500 die casters manufacture thousands of non-ferrous castings: from automobile engine and transmission parts; to intricate components for computers and medical devices; or a desk stapler. Die casters contribute over $7.3 billion to the nation�s economy annually and provide over 63,000 jobs directly and indirectly. The die casting industry is a microcosm of American business. 58% of these companies have fewer than 100 employees, while our larger firms are world leaders. To meet the challenges posed by today�s global marketplace, the North American die casting industry is leading the rest of the world with new technology, higher productivity, innovative applications and superior quality. What is Die Casting? Die casting is a century old process of injecting molten metal into a steel die under high pressure. The metal, either aluminum, zinc, magnesium and sometimes copper, is held under pressure until it solidifies into a net shape metal part. In modern applications, using computerized controls, die casters produce precision and high- strength products at a rapid production rate. No other metal casting processes allow for a greater variety of shapes, intricacy of design or closer dimensional tolerance.
