This material is known for its lightweight and corrosion resistance. It is ideal for applications needing high thermal and electrical conductivity. Aluminum die castings are strong for their weight. They are also versatile. They are used a lot in cars and planes. The types of aluminum alloys we can currently accommodate for die cast parts are:
A380: This is our most commonly used aluminum alloy in die casting. It has good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. It is used in a wide range of applications, including automotive engine components and gearboxes.
A360: It is known for its better corrosion resistance and pressure tightness. It is often used in applications needing high-quality, durable parts, like thin-walled components.
A383 (ADC12): Has better mould-filling properties and is often used for complex and delicate parts.
A413: It has great pressure-tightness and high flowability. It is ideal for complex shapes and parts needing good mechanical properties.
Zinc has high strength and excellent impact resistance, as well as good dimensional stability. These properties make it suitable for the production of durable parts with fine details and thin walls. Zinc is commonly used in the automotive, electronics, and consumer goods industries. The types of zinc alloys we can currently cater for to carry out die cast parts are:
Zamak 3: The most widely used zinc alloy with good strength, ductility, and impact resistance. Commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive components, and hardware.
Zamak 5: It is similar to Zamak 3. But, it has more copper. This makes it stronger and harder. It is for applications needing robust properties.
ZA-8: It is strong and has good bearing properties. It is commonly used in mechanical and electrical parts.
Zamak 2 (ZA-2): The strongest and hardest of the Zamak alloys, used for highly stressed components.
These metals have high mechanical strength and excellent wear resistance. Copper and brass are commonly used in electrical and plumbing. They are also used in decorative items due to their fine look and durability. The types of copper alloys we can currently cater for to carry out die casting of parts are:
Brass Alloy C37700: It’s known for its great machinability and strength. It is used commonly in plumbing and electrical parts.
Copper Alloy C83450: Excellent wear resistance and strength, used for heavy mechanical components and electrical connectors.
