Die steels and the heat-treatment of dies for use in die casting aluminum base alloys

Author

Elmer Gammeter

Abstract

"Although the casting of metals is an ancient art, it was not until recent years that metals were cast in large quantities in metallic molds. The increasing demands on the industry for greater production brought about this change which essentially involves the introduction of molds capable of producing numerous castings in preference to the use of non-metallic molds which were destroyed in making the casting"--General Consideration of the Die Casting Process, page 1.
