Best Aluminum Alloys for Die Casting
Aluminum Alloy Types and Characteristics Aluminum die casting is a popular manufacturing process for quickly producing identical metal parts at high volumes. It is also a versatile and cost-effective method to produce parts with customizable finishes. In die casting, molten metal is ejected at high speeds and high pressures into a die. Aluminum is an […]
What Die Casting Process Should You Use for Your Designs and Products?
Understanding Die Casting Die casting is a manufacturing process in which metal alloys are liquified and injected into a reusable mold using extreme pressure. The finished piece is removed from the mold after cooling – sometimes requiring secondary processes. The process is fast, automatable, and able to produce high volumes of virtually identical components. This […]
