What Is Aluminum Die Casting Mainly Used For?


Nowadays, die casting is one of the most widespread casting methods in a variety of industrial production. The molten materials are available in some iron-free metals, such as zinc, magnesium, aluminum and so on. And as the only one that can withstand the highest operating temperatures, aluminum is the most common option for its unique characteristics. 





Aluminum Casting Makes the Automotive Industry Better


Die casting is an efficient and economical process that provides a wider range of shapes and components for the automotive industry. Furthermore, aluminum die casting automotive parts are stronger and lighter compared to other casting methods. A number of automotive designers and manufacturers obtain huge advantages and benefits from aluminum casting. 




Lightweight


Automotive lightweighting is a new trend that is expected to continue to impact the entire industry. In the past, the heavy nature of steel could add to the burden of fuel. Now, aluminum is considered the most effective material to create lighter auto parts, helping reduce vehicle weight and save fuel efficiency.

High Strength

Due to the lightweight of aluminum, many people mistakenly believe that it is fragile. However, being lightweight does not mean being less durable. Aluminum can absorb as much as two times the crash energy compared to mild steel. And in terms of structure, heat-treated aluminum can be as strong as steel while still maintaining lightweight and flexibility.




Mass Production

As mentioned above, aluminum die casting has high flexibility to create more complex auto accessories than many other production processes. High-quality die casting molds have great accuracy, stability and repeatability, allowing the production of thousands of auto parts without any variation. 


Most importantly, die-cast automotive parts are molded in one piece rather than composed of separate parts welded together. As a result, little or no machining is required. And the strength of die-cast automotive parts is the same as that of alloy, much better than welding.




More Design Freedom


Aluminum die casting creates more space for design and makes auto accessories come with different smooth or textured surfaces. The outstanding corrosion resistance and stable nature make them easy to plate and finish with long-lasting. In other words, auto manufacturers and car owners can design or refit cars as their desires freely.





Aluminum Die Casting for More Applicataions


Aluminum die casting is high-performance and versatile, playing a very vital role in almost every field besides the automotive industry.


  • Aluminum is not only lightweight and tough but also has excellent EMI and RFI shielding properties, making aluminum die casting ideal for handheld devices.

  • Aluminum is an electrical conductor with shielding functions even in high-temp conditions. So, you can also find aluminum die casting in the production of electronic connectors, housings and casings. 

  • Aluminum die casting is widely used in telecommunications and computer industries, for instance, RF filter boxes and housings, and other networking and infrastructure equipment, as they have high heat dissipation requirements.
