Talk:Die casting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This post contains many absolute statements that may over-simplify the nature of their topics. As well, the posting fails to adequately illustrate the weaknesses and limitations of die casting. In the world of manufacturing and fabrication, all processes have strengths and weaknesses. For instance, this article portrays die casting as universally more economical than machining. But this makes a major presumption of high volumes. In summary, this would benefit from an overhaul by someone who is well versed in both die casting AND competitive processes such as machining, forging, etc. Some engineer 13:12, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

Is that short tons, metric tons, or long tons? I'm assuming it's a short ton, but all of the other units in the article were in metric so I don't want to make any assumptions. --Wizard191 (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I found the answer to my own question. --Wizard191 (talk) 02:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
