For Zinc and Aluminum Die Casting
How long does it take to remove a die from a press and replace it (die changeover)? “For small dies,” die casters say, “it can take one and a half to two hours . For large dies…two days, three days, sometimes four days .” Downtime like this is unacceptable for die casters . That's why so many of them are now investing in D-M-E Standard Unit Die Holders for both long and short run zinc and aluminum die casting .
20-MINUTE DIE CHANGEOVERSD-M-E Standard Unit Die Holders and Replacement Units are “made for each other .” They’re designed and ground to such close tolerances that die casters can remove Replacement Units from the Holders and put new ones in within 20 minutes or less . This cuts downtime and enables a die caster to increase productivity and profitability on both long- and short-run jobs .
FOUR TYPES OF HOLDERSYou can get four types of Standard Unit Die Holders from D-M-E: Single Unit; Double Unit; Single Heavy-Duty Unit; Double Heavy-Duty Unit . They are precision engineered and constructed of high quality die steels to withstand the increasingly higher pressures and injection speeds of today’s die casting machines .
STANDARD REPLACEMENT UNITSD-M-E Standard and Standard Heavy-Duty Replacement Units are precision made and completely interchangeable when used with their matching Standard and Standard Heavy-Duty Unit Die Holders . Replacement Units are available in D-M-E No . 2, No . 3, or No . 5 Steel . The more popular sizes are carried in stock for immediate delivery .
D-M-E NO . 3 STEELAn exceptionally clean P-20 AISI 4130 (modified) type cavity steel, pre-heat treated to 277-321 Bhn (28-35 HRC) . It provides high hardness, good machinability, and exceptional polishability . It also provides excellent tool life, especially for zinc die cast dies .
D-M-E NO . 2 STEELAn AISI 4130 type steel . It is pre-heat treated to approximately 302 Bhn (32 HRC) to withstand the peening effects of flash . Its high-strength steel is ideal for applications where cavity inserts will be used in the Replacement Units .
D-M-E NO . 5 STEELA thermal-shock resistant, hotwork die steel (H-13 type) . Supplied fully annealed, approx . 200 Bhn (93 HRB), for easy machinability, it can be subsequently heat treated to the desired hardness with a minimum of deformation . Ideal for aluminum and most long run die casting applications . D-M-E No . 5 Steel meets or exceeds the acceptance criteria established by the NADCA as detailed in Technical Digest Number 01-80-01 D .
REPLACEMENT UNITS IN ANY STEEL OR HARDNESS REQUIRED ARE AVAILABLE ON SPECIAL ORDER

n Maximum Cavity Area for Greater Range of Jobs Three sides of Replacement Units are open for
placement of core slides or water lines
n Rigid Center Section for Longer Die Life Center Section is made from D-M-E No . 5 Steel (H-13
type) heat treated to 42-46 Rockwell C . Upper and lower halves are recessed for added rigidity
n Accurate Alignment for Minimum Wear Six Leader Pins and six Return Pins (four of each in
Single Unit Holders) provide better alignment and permit uniform control of Ejector Plate
n Positive Locking of Interchangeable Units Precision made center section has solid horizontal and
vertical keys for positive locking of Replacement Units . Pry-bar slots facilitate removal of units
n Wedge Clamps and Solid Steel Wedge Locks "Beef Up" Safety
To "beef up" safety and speed die changeovers, D-M-E Single and Double Unit Die Holders are equipped with wedge clamps with heavy-duty socket screws . D-M-E Single and Double Heavy-Duty Unit Die Holders have solid steel wedge locks for the same purposes
On the smaller D-M-E Single and Double Unit Die Holders a specially developed "space-saver" design with heavy-duty socket screws makes equally fast die changeovers possible

WITH CASCADE TYPE COOLING
SPRUE SPREADERSD-M-E Constant Area Sprue Spreaders for zinc die casting were developed after extensive laboratory research . The results of this investigation proved that the metal feed system should be designed with a constant cross-sectional area through the runner system to the gate . This cross-sectional area should be equal to or less than the minimum die inlet area .
D-M-E Sprue Spreaders are contoured to provide constant area* and control metal flow through the bushing to within .002 in .2 . This improved metal flow permits faster cavity fill, while reducing both shot pressure and clamp tonnage requirements . Lower shot pressure combined with constant cross-sectional flow reduces turbulence and porosity . The result: Increased productivity and improved part quality .
Precision made of heat treated AISI H-13 steel, D-M-E Sprue Spreaders are available in three sizes (small, medium and large) and two styles (short and long) . All Sprue Spreaders are designed to provide two types of cooling, no longer requiring separate body styles . All spreaders are supplied with baffles installed for baffle type cooling (FIGURE 1) . If cascade type cooling is preferred, simply replace the baffle with a cascade water junction** (FIGURE 2) . Either way, the spreader's uniform center cooling design provides ample water flow for faster cycles .
*The constant cross-sectional area at any given point will be: .330 in .2 for the small spreader and bushing assemblies (DC-30 and 40 series);
.450 in .2 for the medium spreader and bushing assemblies (DC-50 and 60 series); and .780 in .2 for the large spreader and bushing assemblies (DC-300 and 400 series) .
SPRUE BUSHINGSD-M-E Sprue Bushings for zinc die casting are also precision made of heat treated AISI H-13 steel . They are designed for maximum water cooling capacity and are hermetically brazed and 100 percent leak-tested at 1800 psi . The spherical seat is precision ground and polished to provide a positive seal with the machine nozzle .
**See Cascade Water Junctions on page 42 .

RUNNER SPREADERSD-M-E Runner Spreaders for zinc die casting were developed after extensive laboratory and field research . The results of this research proved the metal feed system could be improved by extending the runner into the spreader area .
D-M-E Runner Spreaders are manufactured to permit the die maker to machine one or more runners into the spreader . This improved metal feed system provides faster cavity fill, decreased cycle time, reduced porosity, improved part quality, less shot weight and optimization of machine capacity . In some cases, thin wall parts that cannot be produced by other means can be successfully die cast by using Runner Spreaders .
Precision made of AISI H-13 steel, D-M-E Runner Spreaders are available in three sizes (small, medium and large) and two styles (short and long) . All Runner Spreaders are designed to provide two types of cooling, without the need for separate body styles .
They are supplied with baffles installed for baffle type cooling (FIGURE 1) . If cascade type cooling is preferred, simply replace the baffle with a cascade water junction* (FIGURE 2) . Either way, the Spreader’s uniform center cooling design provides ample water flow for faster cycles .
The Runner Spreader is supplied at 40-46 Rc to allow the die maker to mill or EDM the runner(s) in the spreader . For optimum die performance, the runner in the spreader should have a cross-sectional area 8% to 10% larger than the runner in the die . This will cause the velocity of the zinc to increase as it enters the parting line of the die…permitting a faster cavity fill and reducing cycle time .
**See Cascade Water Junctions on page 42 .
RUNNER BUSHINGSD-M-E Runner Bushings for zinc die casting are also precision made of heat treated AISI H-13 steel . They are designed for maximum water cooling capacity and are hermetically brazed and 100% leak tested at 1800 psi . The spherical seat is ground to provide a positive seal with the machine nozzle .

itsDie Cast Chill Vents FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Die Cast Chill Vents29.1
Chill Vent Features & Benefits• Chill vents are often used with permanent molds for die casting light
metals such as aluminum and magnesium. The chill vent functions as a means of efficiently exhausting residual air and/or gas from the inside to the outside of a die cast mold cavity.
• Chill vents minimize the spouting of molten metal and reduce flashing when charging molten metal into the die cavity.
• If residual air and/or gas remains in the die cavity, the result may be gas holes in the castings that degrade product quality.
• Gas exhaust passage design is generally shaped in a zigzag manner to ensure that after the gas has been exhausted outside of the chill vent, the molten metal will be chilled in the zigzag passage before it is flashed outside of the permanent mold. However, since molten metal flows under high pressure, it is difficult to completely prevent flashing even by increasing the length of the chill vent.
Why Chill Vents?• Tool steels, although high in hardness, have low thermal conductivity, and, therefore, cannot rapidly remove heat from non-
solidified molten metal before flashing occurs.
• Since both high hardness and superior thermal conductivity are critical requisites in achieving accelerated cooling of molten metal under high pressure, it has been considered that copper alloys would provide superior thermal conductivity. However, few copper alloys provide both thermal conductivity and hardness in combination sufficient to withstand the pressure that results in die casting molten metal.
• Additionally, copper alloys are generally difficult to use for molds brought into contact with molten metal
