The casting process is subdivided into two distinct subgroups:
1 - Expendable mold casting(sand, plastic, shell, and investment (lost-wax technique) mouldings.)
2 - Nonexpendable mold casting(permanent, die, centrifugal, and continuous casting).
Classification of die casting:(a)Gravity Die Casting (also called permanent mould process)
(b)Pressure Die Casting

Die casting materials:
•Zinc: the easiest alloy to cast; high ductility; high impact strength; easily plated; economical for small parts; promotes long die life.
•Aluminum: lightweight; high dimensional stability for complex shapes and thin walls;.
•Magnesium: the easiest alloy to machine; excellent strength-to-weight ratio; lightest alloy commonly die cast.
•Copper: high hardness; high corrosion resistance; highest mechanical properties of alloys die cast; excellent wear resistance.

Advantages:•Excellent dimensional accuracy•Smooth cast surfaces (1—2.5 μm rms). •Thinner walls can be cast•Inserts can be cast-in (such as threaded inserts, heating elements )•Reduces or eliminates secondary machining operations. •Rapid production rates. • tensile strength as high as 415 MPa .
Disadvantages:•Casting weight must be between 30 grams and 10 kg •Casting must be smaller than 600 mm •High initial cost. •Limited to high-fluidity metals. •A certain amount of porosity is common. •Thickest section should be less than 13 mm •A large production volume is needed to make this an economical .
