Explanation:

Hot-chamber die casting:

  • It has a melting furnace as a part of the machine.
  • It is used for low melting point metals such as Zn and Sn.
  • It has greater molten metal contamination.
  • Reduces time to deliver the liquid metal.

Cold – Chamber die casting: 

  • In this casting method, the furnace is separated from the casting unit so the correct answer is option 1.
  • It is used to produce high melting point material casting.
  • The force required to move the liquid metal into the die will be high when compared to hot chamber die casting. 
  • Brass, Copper Aluminium and Magnesium is commonly cold die-casting metals.
