Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Die Casting Dies Machines Methods
The greatest advantage of die-casting is the fact that the castings produced are completely and accurately finished when taken from the dies. When we say completely, we mean that absolutly no machining is required after the piece has been cast, as it is ready to slip into its place in the machine or device of which it is to be a part. When we say accurately, we mean that each piece will come from the die an exact counterpart of the last one; and if the dies are carefully made, the castings will be accurate within inch on all dimensions, whether they are outside measurements, diameters of holes or radii. All holes are cast and come out smoother than they could be reamed; lugs and gear teeth are cast in place; threads, external and internal, and of any desired pitch can be cast. Oil grooves can be cast in bear ings, and, in a word, any piece that can be machined can be die-cast.
