Lightweight AlZn10Si8Mg Die Casting Solution for Fishing Reel Bracket Manufacturing
Project Overview – High-Performance Requirements for Fishing Reel Brackets
Modern fishing reels must offer high precision, lightweight, and long-term corrosion resistance under harsh outdoor environments. The bracket supporting the reel structure is central to achieving these qualities. It must maintain dimensional integrity under mechanical stress, resist saltwater corrosion, and support smooth rotation and control mechanisms. Die casting with advanced aluminum alloys like AlZn10Si8Mg allows for mass production of durable and aesthetically refined fishing reel brackets that meet recreational and professional angling needs.
Material Selection – Why AlZn10Si8Mg is Ideal for Fishing Reel Components
AlZn10Si8Mg is a high-strength aluminum alloy that offers excellent casting behavior, superior corrosion resistance, and high surface hardness. It is particularly well-suited for applications exposed to saltwater and mechanical wear. The alloy’s compatibility with ARC anodizing ensures a dense, decorative, and wear-resistant surface ideal for outdoor equipment like fishing reels.
Manufacturing Process Breakdown
Aluminum Die Casting with AlZn10Si8Mg
Using aluminum die casting, we produce complex bracket geometries with integrated mounting holes and rib reinforcements in a single shot. Molds are engineered for consistent fill rates, reduced porosity, and controlled cooling. Final parts meet a wall thickness tolerance of ±0.1 mm and require minimal secondary operations.
CNC Machining for Precision Fit and Function
Post-casting CNC machining delivers high-precision features such as bearing seats, threaded inserts, and hinge interfaces. Dimensional accuracy is maintained within ±0.05 mm to ensure seamless fit with internal reel mechanisms and handle components. The machining process also supports multiple bracket variants without mold modification.
Surface Finishing – Sandblasting and ARC Anodizing
Initial sand blasting creates a uniform matte finish that enhances coating adhesion and visual consistency. The subsequent ARC anodizing process forms a robust oxide layer that protects against abrasion, UV exposure, and saltwater corrosion. Anodizing also enables customized color finishes suitable for branded fishing gear aesthetics.
