Advantages of Die Casting

The die casting process provides complex shapes within closer tolerances than many other

mass production processes. Little or no machining is required and thousands of identical

castings can be produced in a very short time.

Die castings have a long service life because they are durable, dimensionally stable, and heat

resistant.

Die cast parts are stronger than plastic injection molded parts having the same dimensions.

Die castings can be produced with thinner wall sections that are not possible with other casting

methods.

Die castings can be smooth or textured and they are easily plated or painted with a minimum

of surface preparation.

Die castings offer simplified assembly by providing integral fastening elements such as bosses

and studs. Holes can be cored and made to tap drill sizes or external threads can be

Aluminum Die Castings

Aluminum die casting alloys are lightweight while possessing high dimensional stability for

complex shapes and thin walls. Aluminum has good corrosion resistance and mechanical

properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as strength at high temperatures.

Because of it’s superior mechanical properties, aluminum die castings are among the highest

volume, mass produced items manufactured by the metalworking industry today.

Aluminum die castings are everywhere. They can be found in thousands of consumer,

commercial and industrial products.

Aluminum die castings are important components of products like automobiles, computers,

washers, dryers, refrigerators, furnaces and even toys. Some parts can be as simple as a

faucet handle or as complex as a transmission housing.

Zinc Die Castings

Zinc die casting alloys offer a broad range of excellent physical and mechanical properties.

Thinner sections and walls can be die cast in zinc alloy than in any of the commonly used

die casting alloys.

Zinc alloy generally allows for greater variation in section design and can achieve tighter

dimensional tolerances.

Zinc is the easiest alloy to cast, it offers high ductility, high impact strength and is easily

plated.

Zinc is economical for small parts, has a low melting point and promotes long die life.

Zinc die castings are versatile and can be found in many of the things that we use everyday.

Zinc die castings are commonly used for electric motors, computers, hand tools, electrical

connectors and faucets.
