Die casting(Aluminium Die Casting) is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold cavity. The mold cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mold during the process. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminium, magnesium, lead, pewter and tin based alloys. Depending on the type of metal being cast, a hot- or cold-chamber machine is used.
The casting equipment and the metal dies represent large capital costs and this tends to limit the process to high volume production. Manufacture of parts using die casting is relatively simple, involving only four main steps, which keeps the incremental cost per item low. It is especially suited for a large quantity of small to medium-sized castings, which is why die casting produces more castings than any other casting process.[1] Die castings are characterized by a very good surface finish (by casting standards) and dimensional consistency.

Two variants are pore-free die casting, which is used to eliminate gas porosity defects; and direct injection die casting, which is used with zinc castings to reduce scrap and increase yield.
FCI launches Atlas+APC water machine
Recently, FCI Water Mills introduced the Atlas+APC water machine at the Miami International Boat Show. This is a compact water machine that can produce 1,400-3,600 gallons of fresh water per day and is fully automated. The water machine is suitable for large yachts and merchant ships.
Â
     The reliability of the Atlas+APC water machine meets commercial standards. Its rugged stainless steel drive components help extend run time and produce large quantities of fresh water quickly.
Â
     It is reported that the intuitive menu on the touch screen of the 7-inch ship bridge certification will make it easy to start automatically, make water, run diagnostics and perform flushing. Once set up, the water production process is fully automated.
Â
     The Atlas+APC water machine has been certified by the American Bureau of Shipping, the German Classification Society, the Lloyd's Register of European Medicines, the Norwegian Classification Society and the Russian Classification Society.
