Assertion (A): Aluminium alloys are cast in a hot chamber die casting machine. Reason (R): Aluminium alloys require high melting when compared to zinc alloys. Correct Answer A is false but R is true

Concept:

Die casting is a moulding process in which the molten metal is injected under high pressure and velocity into a split mould die.

Die casting is categorized into two types namely -

  • Hot chamber and cold Chamber.
  • Metals like Zinc, tin and lead alloys are cast in hot chamber die casting having melting point below 390°C whereas aluminum alloys are cast in a cold chamber die casting machine.
