Aluminum Die Casting
Aluminum is the most commonly cast non-ferrous metal in the world because its very cost effective. Its light-weight yet can withstand the highest operating temperatures of all the die cast alloys. Its non magnetic, has good corrosion resistance and is also an excellent electrical conductor. Some typical applications of Aluminum Die Castings are in Telecommunications, Electrical Housing, Automotive, Home Appliances, Lighting, Hand,Power Tools and in Aircrafts. Aluminum helps fuel efficiency and has many uses in the transport industry due to its unbeatable strength to weight ratio. The United States Military also uses many aluminum die casting parts.
Benefits of Aluminum Die Cast Parts
- Lightweight
- Strong Castings. High dimensional stability for complex shapes and thin walls
- Good corrosion resistance; high electrical and thermal conductivity.
- Retains strength at high temperatures.
- High dimensional stability for complex shapes and thin walls
- Little or no machining is required after an aluminum part is die cast, because
the process provides very close tolerances.
- Another benefit with aluminum as a material is that it is recyclable.
- Non-Magnetic
