Everything you need to know about Aluminum die casting
by General Hardwares Shenzhen General Hardware and Plastic Product Co.The process of Aluminum die casting is highly popular in the market compared to the other metals. The characteristic properties of Aluminum including its strength and durability have enabled it to be a better choice amongst the rest. Aluminum is light and easy to work with. It is cheap and therefore highly benefits the manufacturer. Thus, Aluminum die casting is preferred by the manufacturers for the final products.
What is Aluminum die casting?
Die casting is a process of manufacture wherein which metals are converted to their molten form and then this molten form is poured out into a die case that is in the shape required so that the metal will acquire the desired shape. The two halves of the cast are clasped together by a machine until the required metal solidifies into the required form. When Aluminum is used to make the die cast, then the process is called Aluminum die casting. It is undertaken in a large scale in the manufacturing sector and is a preferred procedure because of the widespread use of metal in today’s day and age.
Why is Aluminum a preferred metal?
Aluminum is one of the highly preferred metals as it is highly conductive and is resistant to corrosion. It is also cheaper in comparison to most other metals. The die casting industry prefers Aluminum because of its low density. The process of Aluminum die casting involves extremely high temperatures and Aluminum withstands these temperatures. Aluminum is also a sustainable option as it does not easily react with other metals.
What are the other options available?
Apart from Aluminum die casting, there are a few other options available for the process of die casting. The process of die casting can also be undertaken with sand. This process is undertaken by pouring the metal into die cast molds of sand. It has been in use in the industry for a significant duration but it has improved only in recent times. The process of sand die casting helps reduce the excessive use of metals that is now prevalent in the industry. Another such process is that of investment casting. In this process a wax pattern is made which is given the required final shape. This process is also called the precision process. It is also one of the popular processes because it is easier to form complex and specific patterns out of wax than other metals.
