This is a casting method in which molten metal is injected into a mold under pressure and solidified. It has high dimensional accuracy, a smooth casting surface, and does not require machining. The dimensional accuracy is about 0.03% for lead alloys and zinc alloys, and about 0.05% for aluminum alloys, so in this sense it is one of the precision casting methods. The minimum thickness of the casting that can be produced is 0.8 to 1.5 mm for the former and 1.2 to 2.0 mm for the latter. The casting pressure reaches 30 to 50 atmospheres using a piston, so the cooling speed of the molten metal pressed against the mold is extremely fast, and by automating the casting machine, mass production of 1,000 to 2,000 pieces per day is possible. Heat-resistant steel is used for the mold because it must be able to withstand such repeated casting, and zinc alloys and aluminum alloys, which have low melting points, are mainly used for casting. Camera bodies, escalator steps, and sash clasps are some of the familiar die-cast products.

金型に溶融金属を加圧注入して凝固させる鋳造法。寸法精度が高く、鋳肌が滑らかで機械加工仕上げを省略できる。寸法精度は鉛合金、亜鉛合金で0.03%、アルミニウム合金で0.05%程度であり、この意味では精密鋳造法の一つである。つくりうる鋳物の最小肉厚は前者で0.8~1.5ミリメートル、後者で1.2~2.0ミリメートルである。鋳込み圧力はピストンを用いて30~50気圧に達するので、金型に押し付けられた溶湯の冷却速度はきわめて大きく、鋳造機を自動化することにより1日1000~2000個の多量生産ができる。金型としてはこのような繰り返しの鋳込みに耐えねばならないので耐熱鋼が用いられ、鋳込み用合金としては融点のあまり高くない亜鉛合金とアルミニウム合金とがおもに使用される。カメラのボディーやエスカレーターの踏み板やサッシの留め金などは身近なダイカスト製品である。 [井川克也] ©Shogakukan"> ダイカストの原理 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
