Comparing to Zinc and Aluminum, Brass die-casting requires higher temperature, thus requires better mold steel. Mold also need to be kept at warm temperature to avoid disruptive temperature change. Mold steel choices can be H13 or SKD61 or Swedish 8407.
The applicable ASTM standard for copper casting is ASTM B176-04.
Suitable Copper Materials are:
Copper-Zinc Alloy:
C85700
C85800
C86500
C87800
Typically 55-60% copper, 30-40% Zinc.
Copper-Zinc-Manganese Alloy:
C99700
C99750
Typically 55-60% copper, 20% Zinc, 11 - 23% Manganese
Copper-Zinc-Manganese Alloy:
C99700
C99750
Typically 55-60% copper, 20% Zinc, 11 - 23% Manganese
NOTE!
Some copper pieces might be better forged than die casted. When you are in doubts, please consult with our engineering staff

Our examples of brass products
Zinc die casting is an economical process offering a broad range of shapes and strong mechanical properties. It also provides integral fastening elements, such as bosses and studs. Holes can be cored and made to tap, or external threads can be cast. Zinc die casting is commonly used for lock applications.
