Quality Aluminum Die Casting Services

Regardless of the specific type of aluminum selected for individual projects, aluminum in general offers various beneficial characteristics:

• Conductivity. Aluminum conducts electricity and thermal energy well.
• Dimensional stability. This metal maintains good dimensional stability, even in parts with very thin walls. Aluminum’s stability also makes it an excellent choice for complex parts.
• Mechanical properties. Aluminum offers a good degree of hardness, shear strength, and tensile strength. These and other mechanical properties make aluminum a good choice for commercial and industrial parts that require reliable long-term performance.
• Resistance to corrosion. Aluminum resists corrosion and oxidation, making it useful for mitigating the risk of rust in indoor or outdoor applications.
• Strength. Aluminum is a strong metal with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, even maintaining its strength at high temperatures.
• Weight. Aluminum is a lightweight metal, especially compared to steel and other popular manufacturing materials. This is important for designing fuel-efficient vehicles, aerospace parts, handheld consumer goods, construction elements, and other products where lower component weight may improve performance.

Common Applications

A wide variety of industries rely on aluminum for its versatility and compatibility with the die casting process. Some of the most popular applications of aluminum die casting parts include:

• Appliances. Die casting produces identical and interchangeable parts, which is crucial for mass-manufactured consumer appliances.
• Automotive. Aluminum automotive parts are strong and lightweight, which enhances fuel efficiency for automobiles and heavy trucks.
• Electric motors and fluid pump motors. Aluminum has excellent dimensional stability, even at the high temperatures found in motor and pump operation.
• Hand tools. Aluminum tools are lightweight, strong, and easy to handle.
• Hardware (fasteners). Aluminum fasteners withstand corrosion and environmental wear for a long-lasting hold.
• LED lighting. Aluminum components conduct electricity well, contributing to the efficiency to LED lighting.
• Medical/healthcare. Medical devices need to be strong, lightweight, and rigid for easy use by medical professionals.
• Military. Aluminum is a strong, cost-effective material choice for vehicle components, electronics, and structural components.
• Recreational (interior/exterior parts). Aluminum fasteners, grommets, and other hardware are strong, rigid, and resistant to environmental damage.
• Retail scanning. Die casting produces housings and hardware components used in retail scanning equipment.
• Robotic automation. Industrial systems require strong, high-quality aluminum components that can integrate with other hardware.
• Security. Die casting aluminum produces high-precision components for smart locks, security cameras, and other security devices.
• Video conferencing. Precision video conferencing system parts and housings are often produced using die casting.
