- Flow Simulations and Thermal Analysis: Advanced simulations predict material flow and analyze thermal conditions, ensuring optimal cooling and efficient production.
- Multi-Slide Dies: Designed to handle both standard and specialized slide pulls, including submarine-style and cam-actuated options, for complex part geometry.
- Internal Features: Loose-piece inserts are used for intricate internal features, enhancing casting precision.
- Conformal Cooling Lines: Tailored cooling lines reduce cycle times and extend tool life while improving production consistency.
- Documentation: We provide comprehensive die manuals and service documentation, including certificates of material conformance and heat treatment, ensuring compliance at all stages.
- Trim Dies:
Our trim dies are meticulously designed to minimize secondary operations while improving the final form and visual appeal of cast components. By focusing on automation, we enhance production line efficiency and contribute to precise final products, reducing rework and improving overall throughput. - Permanent Molds
Specializing in tilt-pour and gravity-fed permanent molds, as well as semi-permanent molds using sand core boxes, we provide tooling solutions that ensure both durability and precision. These molds are essential for producing complex die-cast parts with intricate details, contributing to efficient and accurate mass production. - Hot Forging Dies:
DSW also excels in designing and manufacturing hot-forging dies, particularly for the aerospace industry. We engineer these dies to form high-strength components for lightweight and durable automotive applications. - Fixtures and Jigs:
- High-Pressure Cast Dies:
We provide jigs and custom fixtures to increase manufacturing productivity. These precise tools help to maximize processes, improve homogeneity, and ensure high-quality manufacturing through consistency. Our personalized solutions assist firms in maintaining consistent quality and reducing production line downtime.
Typical Die Steel for Casting Dies
These materials are selected based on the specific requirements of the die casting process, including the type of aluminum alloy being cast, the volume of production, and the operating conditions.
- H13 Tool Steel
- Widely used for its heat resistance, toughness, and thermal fatigue resistance.
- H11 Tool Steel
- Offers high toughness and thermal shock resistance, ideal for demanding applications.
- H21 Tool Steel
- Excellent heat resistance and thermal conductivity for high-stress conditions.
- H19 Tool Steel
- High hardness and wear resistance, suited for intense wear environments.
- P20 Steel
- Cost-effective and easy to machine, best for prototype or low-volume molds.
- 1.2344 (DIN H13 Equivalent)
- Similar to H13 with high toughness and wear resistance.
- 1.2367
- Superior thermal fatigue resistance for demanding aluminum die casting.
- Special Coated Steels
