Die-casting is a casting method in which liquid metal is shot with pressure into halved metallic moulds. The method is especially suitable for the bulk production of complicated parts made of aluminium, zinc, magnesium, copper, lead or tin. However, the most important ones are the aluminium alloys as, for example, used for the production of automotive engine blocks.
