Aluminum Die Casting Services
Aluminum Die Casting for your low volume manufacturing needs. A most significant benefit of aluminum die casting is that it creates lighter parts with more surface finishing options than other die casting alloys. Aluminum can retain high dimensional stability with thin walls, it is versatile, corrosion resistant, further more, aluminum can also withstand the highest operating temperatures of all the die cast alloys, it can be used in almost any industry. TEAM Rapid has decades of experience in producing various types of aluminum die casing parts including: Aluminum Housing & Cover; Aluminum Brackets & Plate; Aluminum Heat Sinks; Aluminum Valve Body; Aluminum Gearbox Housing etc.
At TEAM Rapid, aluminum die casting is one of our core services. Our aluminum die casting parts covers a wide range of industries, we made a series of motor housing, exhaust fan, aluminum enclosure, washing machine handle, camera housing, led housing etc in the past 10 years. ADC12, A380 are the most popular aluminum die casting alloys at TEAM Rapid.
- ADC12 (Al-Si-Cu-based cast aluminum alloys) have good castability and high mechanical properties, so these alloys are commonly used for complicated shapes automotive parts such as transmission cases, cylinder blocks, and converter housings etc. It is also one of the most widely-used choice of metal for many die-casings produced internationally.
Aluminum Die Casting Alloys - A380
- A380 is one of the most commonly used die casting aluminum alloys. Benefits from its’ good performance, A380 is widely used in many applications.
- It has the best combination of mechanical, casting and thermal properties.
- It has pressure tightness, excellent fluidity, and resistance to hot cracking.
- It is widely used in variety of products including engine brackets, chassis for electronic equipment, household furniture, gearbox cases, and hand tools etc.
Die Casting is a high efficient and economical process to produce aluminum metal parts. We can have the aluminum parts in a broader range of shapes and undercuts by this excellent manufacturing technique.
Steel Mold for Aluminum Die Casting
Aluminum die casting process requires a steel mold first. We also call these reusable steel molds as dies, it can be designed to produce complex shapes and geometries with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The mold life time can range from 10,000 to 100,000+ shorts mainly depending on the steel for tooling.
Aluminum Die Casting Process
The dies are mounted into a die casting machine, then the molten aluminum is injected into the dies under high pressure. Once the molten aluminum has solidified, the mold is opened and the casting is removed from the die. The mold is then closed and the process starts over. The cycle time for aluminum die casting process is varieties depends on the part weight, size. Typically, the bigger part the longer cycle time.
