Aluminum Pressure Die Casting

Die casting manufacturers utilize a number of materials, including zinc, aluminum, magnesium, copper, lead and tin. Zinc is the easiest alloy to cast, has a low melting point and is economical and easily palatable. Zinc also has high impact strength, offers high ductability and promotes long die life. Aluminum alloys possess high dimensional stability for complex shapes and thin walls. Aluminum die casts are of a lightweight alloy that has good corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity and strength at high temperatures. Along with being the easiest alloy to machine, magnesium is also the lightest typically die cast. Magnesium die casting also has excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Copper is one of the hardest alloys and offers the highest mechanical properties of any other alloy that is cast. A dimensionally stable alloy, copper has high corrosion and wear resistance and strength approaching that of steel parts. Lead and tin are used for special forms of corrosion resistance. Although they have high density, parts with extremely close dimensions are able to be formed from lead castings and tin castings.
