While aluminum die casting is a cornerstone of our services, we offer a diverse portfolio of metal alloys to meet the exacting requirements of various applications. Each material family possesses unique characteristics that make it suitable for specific performance, cosmetic, and economic needs. Our expertise spans multiple alloy systems, enabling us to provide the optimal material solution for your project.
Zinc alloy die casting is renowned for its exceptional dimensional stability, superior as-cast surface quality, and high-impact strength. These alloys allow for the production of thin-walled components with intricate details, making them a preferred choice for many applications.
The Zamak 3 alloy is the most widely used zinc die casting material, offering an excellent balance of physical and mechanical properties, along with superb fluidity. For components requiring enhanced strength and hardness, Zamak 5, which contains a higher copper content, is the ideal choice. In specialized scenarios demanding superior creep resistance and wear performance, such as those requiring Zamak Parts Casting and PVD Coating, we employ advanced alloys. The versatility of zinc is further demonstrated in its widespread use for aesthetic components, as exemplified by our production of a Chanel Classic Perfume Bottle Cap and functional parts, such as the Philips Electric Shaver Shell.
Copper-based alloys, including brass and bronze, are selected for applications where exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, and natural antimicrobial properties are paramount.
A common high-strength brass alloy we utilize is Brass 380 , which provides excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance. For components requiring high wear resistance and load-bearing capacity, Aluminum Bronze C95400 is an excellent choice. The Copper Die Casting process is ideal for producing durable components for electrical and plumbing systems, often utilizing versatile alloys like Free-Cutting Brass C85700 . For bearing and gear applications, the low friction and high toughness of Leaded Bronze C83600 make it a reliable option.
Although not explicitly listed in the provided links, it is worth noting that magnesium alloys represent the lightest of all commercial die-casting metals. They offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and good damping characteristics. Our engineering team can advise on the suitability of magnesium for projects where weight reduction is the most critical driver.
Regardless of the base metal, we enhance component performance and aesthetics through a range of value-added services. Our Metal Casting Service is supported by a comprehensive post-process for die castings capabilities. This includes secondary machining via Die Castings post-machining to achieve tight tolerances. For surface enhancement, we offer a range of services, including aesthetic die castings , painting, highly durable Die Castings Powder Coating, and advanced Die Castings Assembly for complex sub-assemblies.
Our multi-material expertise enables us to serve a diverse range of industries with customized solutions. In the Bosch Power Tools Custom Hardware sector, zinc and aluminum are selected for their optimal balance of strength and durability. The Dirak Lock System Accessories often utilize zinc alloys for their precision and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, our work with Aorus Custom Computer Accessories demonstrates how both aluminum and zinc can be leveraged to create robust and heat-efficient components for the technology industry.
