Since the formation of Coler, our die casting service has led to large scale supply solutions.
Fifteen years of die casting has given us the capacity to take a part from mould design through mould making, casting, surface finishing and inspection without moving it between suppliers. One quote covers the lot.
We cast deep cavities, high rib profiles and thin walls, which are the three shapes that separate a die caster who can quote your part from one who cannot.
We cast in two alloy families. Aluminium die casting suits lighter structural parts, and zinc die casting holds finer detail and thinner walls. Castings can be anodised or plated before they ship.

What is Die Casting?
Die casting is a metal casting process known for its ability to create complex, highly detailed, and precise metal parts. This manufacturing method involves the use of molten metal, which is forced into a mould cavity under high pressure. Die casting is widely utilised in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods.
The process of die casting starts with the preparation of two mould halves, typically made from hardened steel. These moulds are designed to create the desired shape of the final part, and they include a cavity that corresponds to the part's shape and features.
Next, the chosen metal alloy is heated to its liquid state in a furnace. Once molten, it is injected into the mould cavity at high pressure using a machine called a die casting machine. The application of pressure ensures that the molten metal fills the mould cavity completely, resulting in a part with consistent properties.
As the molten metal is injected into the mould, it begins to cool and solidify within the cavity. The cooling process is carefully controlled to prevent defects and to achieve the desired material properties in the final part.
Castings from this process ship as finished die cast parts and as automotive parts, machined and plated to your drawing.
After solidification, the two mould halves are separated, and the newly formed part is ejected from the mould. Ejection may involve the use of ejector pins or other mechanisms to facilitate the release of the part.
Once the part is removed from the mould, it may require further processing. Trimming and finishing processes, such as cutting, machining, or deburring, are performed to achieve the final shape and a smooth surface finish for the part.
Die casting offers several advantages, including its ability to produce parts with intricate details and tight tolerances, making it suitable for complex components. It is also known for its high production rates, making it efficient for large-scale manufacturing. Die-cast parts exhibit excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and dimensional stability, and the process is characterised by consistency and repeatability, resulting in high-quality parts. Overall, die casting is a widely used manufacturing method that plays a crucial role in producing metal components for various industries.
