An apparatus (10) for casting material has a die (15, 20) for receiving a compressive force (35), the die (15, 20) having a shaped opening for receiving a die insert (25, 30). The die insert (25, 30) has an exterior shape that is adapted to cooperate with and be received in the opening such that compressive forces (35) impinging upon the die (15, 20) are focused upon the die insert (25, 30) such that tensile forces within the die and impinging upon the die insert are minimized. |
