Die Cast Alloy Benefits |
|
Cost Effective, High volume production with part-to-part
consistency |
Withstands high operating
temperatures |
| Good corrosion resistance |
| Tight tolerances achieved as cast |
Aluminum and magnesium
offer lightweight options with excellent stiffness to strength ratio |
| Manufacture of complex net shapes, including
external threads and complex internal features with minimal draft
angles, thereby minimizing secondary operations |
High strength and hardness |
| Outstanding EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
shielding properties |
| Multiple parts can be combined
into a single component, eliminating assembly operations and lowering
labor costs, with the added benefits of simplification of stock control
and greater part consistency |
High thermal conductivity |
| High electrical conductivity |
| Zinc and Magnesium have high dimensional
accuracy and stability |
| Allows variable wall thick nesses, casting
of features for component positioning and ribs for heat dissipation |
Zinc and Magnesium have
excellent thin wall capability |
| Achieves shortest distance between raw
material and finished parts |
Lower tool cost on multi
slide process for zinc and magnesium |
| Fast production cycle times |
Zinc offers low cost raw
material |
| Reduction in scrap metal |
Good Finishing Characteristics |
| Long tool life, especially for zinc and
magnesium |
Fully recycleable |
