Die Casting
Die casting produces dimensionally accurate parts at high volume with minimal machining. We source from facilities running hot and cold chamber processes across aluminum, zinc, and magnesium alloys. Tooling cost is significant upfront but amortizes fast over production runs. We coordinate mold design, DFM, trial shots, and secondary machining in one program.
Mogelijkheden
Processpecificaties
- Aluminum alloys
- A380, ADC12, A360, AlSi10Mg
- Zinc alloys
- Zamak 3, Zamak 5, ZA-8
- Magnesium alloys
- AZ91D, AM60B (on request)
- Process
- Cold chamber (aluminum), hot chamber (zinc, magnesium)
- Part weight range
- 10 g to 15 kg
- Wall thickness
- 0.8 to 8 mm typical; optimized around 2 to 4 mm
- Tolerances
- ±0.1 mm on small features, ±0.3 mm on 100+ mm spans
- Secondary operations
- CNC finishing, drilling/tapping, powder coat, chromate, anodize (for cast aluminum)
Wanneer het past
- High-volume production (typically 5,000+ units/year) where tooling amortizes
- Complex geometries with internal features
- Structural parts needing good strength-to-weight
- Parts where you need net-shape to avoid secondary machining
Wanneer het niet past
- Low volumes. Tooling is the dominant cost below about 3,000 units/year.
- Parts with very tight cosmetic requirements without secondary finishing
- Materials that don't die cast well (steel, titanium). Use forging instead.
