A method for die-casting a magnesium alloy comprises the step of casting a die cast product free of any hot tearing, shrinkage tearing and shrinkage cavity starting from a magnesium alloy comprising i) 1 to 10% by weight of aluminum; ii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of 0.2 to 5% by weight of a rare earth metal, 0.02 to 5% by weight of calcium and 0.2 to 10% by weight of silicon; and iii) not more than 1.5% by weight of manganese, and the balance of magnesium and inevitable impurities, using a cold chamber type die-casting machine, wherein a) the temperature of the molten magnesium alloy is maintained at 650 to 750 DEG C; b) the charging velocity of the molten metal is set at 1/100 to 10/100 second; and c) the intensified pressure after the charging is set at a level of not less than 200 kgf/cm. Thus, a die cast product free of any hot tearing, shrinkage tearing and shrinkage cavity can be produced by appropriately specifying injection conditions, mold conditions, conditions for melting a magnesium alloy and mold plan in the cold chamber type die-casting machine, or by appropriately controlling the temperature of the molten metal from the molten metal-accommodating pot to the gate portion of the machine.
