Hot Chamber Die Casting Machine |
| Die casting is a
manufacturing process in which molten metal is forced under high pressure into reusable,
precise tolerance metal dies. |

Decardy Die Casting in Chicago, IL was
given the job to produce
the elbow as a precision zinc die casting.
- The trimmed, polished, and
buffed zinc castings are sent to Unity Manufacturing in
Chicago where the castings are machined, cleaned,
chrome-plated, polished, and assembled.
- This is a high-volume run with
10,000+ parts in a production run.
