1. Material Selection The choice of materials used in die design significantly affects the performance and lifespan of the die. Common die materials include tool steel, aluminum, and beryllium copper. Tool steel, for instance, is often favored for its hardness and wear resistance, which make it suitable for high-volume production. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the die material influences the cooling rates of the cast part, impacting its quality and production speed.
