At Neway, the standard lead time for full-scale die casting production typically ranges between 4 to 8 weeks after tooling approval, depending on factors such as material selection, part complexity, and additional processing requirements. Common alloys like A380 aluminum or Zamak 3 zinc generally fall toward the shorter end of this spectrum due to their favorable casting properties and rapid cooling rates.
Several variables directly impact lead times:
Material Selection: Alloys with excellent fluidity, such as ADC12, reduce casting cycles, whereas copper alloys like Brass 360 may require longer processing.
Component Complexity: Intricate designs or thin-wall structures typically necessitate additional post-processing steps such as precise CNC machining or surface treatments, extending overall timelines.
Post-Processing Requirements: Additional finishing like anodizing, powder coating, or complex assembly tasks add between 1 to 2 weeks to the production schedule.
For urgent requirements, Neway provides expedited manufacturing through:
