Process

Aluminum Die Casting

Aluminum die casting is a highly efficient and precise manufacturing process used to create complex and detailed metal parts and components from aluminum alloys. It involves injecting molten aluminum into a mold or die cavity under high pressure. Once the aluminum cools and solidifies, the mold is opened, and the finished part is removed.

Applications

Aluminum is one of the most commonly used materials for die casting. It is favored for its excellent combination of properties, including a relatively low melting point, good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and ease of casting. Aluminum die casting alloys are widely used in various industries, making them one of the primary choices for die casting applications.

Advantages of Aluminum Die Casting

Die casting is fast and efficient, creating parts quickly with little waste. This suits mass production and cost-effectiveness. It achieves precise details and smooth surfaces, ideal for complex shapes. Aluminum die casting offers several advantages that make it a popular choice in various industries.

Lightweight Strength

Aluminum is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical, such as in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Precision and Quality Finish

Aluminum die casting achieves tight tolerances, intricate designs, and smooth surfaces on precise parts, reducing extra finishing work

Rapid Production

The quick cooling and solidification of aluminum enable fast production cycles, making it cost-effective for high-volume manufacturing.

Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer, enhancing its resistance to corrosion and ensuring long-term durability.

Thermal Conductivity

Aluminum's excellent thermal conductivity makes it suitable for applications where heat dissipation is essential, such as in electronic devices.

Our Die Casting Services

Custom Die Casting

Discover precision in manufacturing with die casting, creating intricate and accurate parts. Our custom service brings your ideas to life across industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical. Rooted in excellence, we prioritize customization for each unique project. Our expert team collaborates closely, handling every detail from design to production, ensuring the highest quality outcome.

Trimming, Deburring & Machining

After casting, excess material and sharp edges are removed to achieve the desired shape and enhance safety. Additional machining operations, like drilling, tapping, and milling, may be conducted for precise dimensions and features.

Zinc Die Casting

Zinc die casting is a manufacturing process used to create metal parts and components from zinc alloys. It is similar to aluminum die casting but uses zinc as the primary material. Zinc alloys are applicable in part manufacturing due to their ductility, impact strength, and low melting point. Furthermore, the casting process occurs under lower heat due to the material’s low melting point. Hence the name “hot chamber die casting process.

Surface Finishing

Applying various surface treatments to improve aesthetics and protect against corrosion. This includes processes like polishing, buffing, shot blasting, and sanding.

Materials

Choosing the right material involves considering factors such as the intended use of the part, mechanical properties required (strength, hardness, ductility), thermal properties, corrosion resistance, and cost considerations. Each material has its advantages and limitations, so consulting with our experienced engineers and material experts can help you make the best choice for your project. You can learn more about the main types of die casting materials we offer in the sections below. If you have a specific material request, just let us know!

Tolerance

Tightest tolerance: ±.0008’’ (0.020 mm) Tighter tolerances are examined on a case by case basis with your technical drawings. Kintech’s CNC machining service can produce CNC parts with tolerance as low as ± 0.0002 in. Without a drawing, all CNC parts are produced to our ISO 2768 medium standard. We can also machine to tighter tolerances, ±0.025mm or ±0.001″, with an attached engineering drawing calling out critical features.
