Your components need to be stronger and lighter, but standard alloys can’t meet the specs. This puts your project timeline and budget at risk of failure. AlSi10MgFe is a versatile aluminum alloy known for its excellent castability, good mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance. Its specific composition, particularly the balance of silicon, magnesium, and controlled iron, […]
Struggling with heavy, multi-part assemblies? Traditional methods are slow and add unnecessary weight. Die casting creates strong, lightweight1, single-piece components with incredible precision and speed. In the automotive industry2, die casting3 is a core manufacturing process that injects molten metal, usually aluminum4, into a reusable steel mold under high pressure5. It is used to mass-produce
Struggling with unclear die casting quotes? Hidden costs can derail your project budget. Let’s break down every factor to ensure you get a clear and fair price. The price of an aluminum die casting part1 is set by a combination of key factors. These include the cost of the raw aluminum alloy2, the complexity and
Struggling to keep up with industry shifts? The automotive world is changing fast, and keeping projects competitive and on time is a constant challenge for lightweight parts. For 2025, the key trends are the increased adoption of aluminum driven by EVs and stricter emission rules. Expect big advances in high-pressure die casting, a push for
Your EV components keep failing air leakage tests, delaying projects and creating tension. Finding the root cause is a frustrating hunt, often ending in a blame game between departments. The most common reasons for air leakage in aluminum die casting1s are gas porosity2, cold shuts3, cracks, machining damage4, poor flatness5, bad mold venting6, and improper
Your parts don’t fit together during assembly or fail critical leak tests1. This is a frustrating problem often caused by a misunderstanding of what dimensional tolerances2 are achievable in die casting. The aluminum die casting tolerance standard3 is a set of guidelines, like ISO 8062-34 or NADCA standards5, that define the achievable dimensional accuracy for
