Aluminum Die Casting Subdivision

The popularity of aluminum has expanded to many applications around the world today, mainly because of its unique features (such as light weight) and winning a competitive market share. Corrosion resistance, high conductivity and thermal conductivity, high stability and high tensile strength of complex shapes. The transportation industry is the largest end-use sector in the industry. The increasingly stringent emission regulations of government regulatory agencies and consumer demand for more fuel-efficient cars are gradually becoming a necessary condition for aluminum castings. An example of increased operations in the industry includes replacing steel components in vehicles with lightweight, high-quality aluminum to improve fuel efficiency.

Another industry on demand for aluminum die castings includes the construction industry in developing economies, especially the Asia-Pacific region. Aluminum die castings are related to the creation of products, including windows, cladding, curtain walls, prefabricated buildings, store partitions and accessories. Moreover, aluminum die-casting products are also used in aerospace operations or aircraft around the world. As aircraft sizes and population proportions continue to grow, the aviation industry hopes to produce higher-density and higher-quality products for these airframe components at a lower cost.

Aluminum die casting process

Aluminum die-casting process The casting process realizes steel molds that can usually produce thousands of castings in rapid succession. The mold must be made in at least two parts to allow the casting to be removed. The casting cycle begins with the die casting machine clamping the two mold halves tightly together. Molten aluminum is injected into the cavity where it solidifies quickly. These parts are firmly installed in the machine and arranged so that one part is fixed and the other is movable. Separate the mold halves and eject the casting. Die-casting molds can be simple or complex, depending on the complexity of the casting, with movable sliders, cores or other parts. Most machines use a mechanism actuated by a hydraulic cylinder to achieve locking. Others use direct acting hydraulic pressure. Large or small die casting machine.

What are the advantages of aluminum die casting?

There are many reasons why aluminum is the most common non-ferrous metal in the world. As a lightweight metal, the most common reason for using aluminum die castings is that it can make very lightweight parts without sacrificing strength. Compared with other non-ferrous metal materials, aluminum die castings also have more surface finish options and can withstand higher operating temperatures. Aluminum die castings are corrosion resistant, highly conductive, and have good stiffness and strength to weight ratio. The aluminum die-casting process is based on rapid production. Compared with alternative casting processes, this process can produce a large number of die-casting parts very quickly, more economically and efficiently. Aluminum die castings have become the favored choice of global buyers. The characteristics and advantages of aluminum die castings include:

Lightweight and durable
Good weight ratio
Strong corrosion resistance
Excellent conductivity
Fully recyclable and reusable in production
