What is aluminum die casting?

how many types of aluminum die casting are there?

These next sites will explain everything to you.
Die Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under pressure, into a hardened steel die or also called mold.
Dies are often water-cooled. Dies are then opened, and the die castings are ejected (many times thousands of parts each day, sometimes only a few hundred). Once the tooling is paid for, die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process.

    Die casting can be done with a variety of metals. I’m familiar with pancake dies. A flap in the shape of the stamp-out is sawn in a mild steel blank. The blank is then heat-hardened.
    A sheet of silver (copper, aluminum, brass, etc.) is slid under the flap and the die is then squeezed in a vise or die press, thus stamping out the desired shape. Thassall I know…..
