  • Publication number: 20220062982
    Abstract: A die-casting method using a sintered material increases bonding strength between an insert and a casting portion. A die-cast product is manufactured using the die-casting method. The die-casting method includes an insert preparation step of preparing an insert having pores formed in a surface thereof by compacting iron-based powder and then sintering the compacted iron-based powder. The pores have a size of 100 ?m or more and are distributed over the surface of the insert and the insert has a density of 6.4 to 6.9 g/cm3 The method includes a die-casting step of placing the prepared insert inside a mold and injecting molten aluminum into the mold so as to perform casting while causing the molten aluminum to infiltrate into the pores formed in the surface of the insert.
