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.

Stainless steel precision castings require the toolholder material during production. When stainless steel is processed, the toolholder must have sufficient strength and rigidity due to its high cutting force during use, so as to avoid chattering and deformation during the cutting process. This requires the selection of an appropriately large cross-sectional area of ​​the tool holder, and the use of higher-strength materials to manufacture the tool holder.

1. Lightweight Properties Aluminium is significantly lighter than many other metals, making it an ideal choice for industries where weight reduction is a priority, such as automotive and aerospace.
