Abstract

A die casting system (200) comprises a die (212) which comprises a plurality of die components (214,216) that define a die cavity (220). A shot tube (224) is in fluid communication with the die cavity (220). The shot tube (224) includes an integrated melting unit (225) configured to heat a charge of material (237) from a position inside of the shot tube (224). A shot tube plunger (228) is moveable within the shot tube (224) to communicate the charge of material (237) into the die cavity (220).
