Aluminium Die Casting

Die casting aluminum is a manufacturing method to create metal parts. An aluminum bar should be heated and melted entirely at a high temperature and then forced into the pre-shaped mold cavity to create desired metal parts.The end product comes out with a smooth surface. Most of the time, the finished products don’t need minimal machining and move into the delivery stage quickly. Moreover, the die-cast mold is recycled to manufacture the same parts before it deteriorates. Therefore, aluminum die casting is an ideal manufacturing process for large-scale production. And that is why manufacturers prefer to die casting this and it is popular in various industries.

Cold Chamber Aluminum Die Casting

The aluminum die casting process uses the casting machine’s cold chamber. In the cold chamber machine, the melting pot is separated and the molten aluminum alloys then are ladled from the pot into the die under high pressure. After injecting the molten aluminum, it takes a while to solidify. Then, you need to separate the two halves parts of the mold to reveal the aluminum cast part.

Aluminum is injected into the die under high pressure using fully automatic high-pressure casting machines.The aluminium die casting machine opens the die when the molten metal has set, and the die casting parts are ejected.


The cycle is repeated quickly, so that many hundreds of cast parts can be made each day. This casting technique is highly suitable for thin-walled casting. Perfect for saving weight. High-pressure die casting is extremely suitable for casting with high dimensional accuracy and for batch sizes with more than 2,500 pieces. In many cases, the great dimensional accuracy of this die casting process eliminates the need to finishing service, thus significantly reducing finishing costs.

Material Grades Available For Aluminium Die Casting

Material

Typical Properties

A380

Alloy A380 (ANSI/AA A380.0) is by far the most widely cast of the aluminum die casting alloys,offering the best combination of material properties and ease of production. It may be speci ed for most product applications. Some of the uses of this alloy include electronic and communications equipment, automotive components, engine brackets, transmission and gear cases, appliances, lawn mower housings, furniture components, hand and power tools. Alloy A380 has better than average machining characteristics.

A383 (ADC12)

If your component is highly intricate, 383——is often used as an alternative to A380.It has better corrosion resistances, is lightweight, and its benefits include ease of casting, good mechanical properties, and dimensional stability.

A413

A413 is an aluminum alloy with excellent pressure tightness. This makes it a good choice for hydraulic cylinders. The castability of this aluminum alloy makes it a great choice for die casting intricate components.

B390

Alloy 390 (ANSI/AA B390.0)is an aluminum alloy with high hardness and good wear resistance. This alloy is suitable for many applications including internal combustion engine pistons and cylinder bodies for compressors and brakes.

413

413 is an Aluminum based alloy that is used for die casting parts. 413 has many benefits:It offers a good combination of casting, mechanical, and thermal properties and it exhibits excellent fluidity, pressure tightness, and resistance to hot cracking.It is used for a wide variety of products.
