A Comparison: Die Cast Parts or Plastic Parts. Within the past decade, plastic molded products have become abundant in the market. More and more plastic products are being produced as substitute to metal products such as faucet, door knobs, and chair braces. Die casting manufacturing industry is facing a rival that produces products that do not corrode or rust. However, the question is, which is really better, Die Casting Parts or Plastic Parts?

Durability

Die cast parts are basically stronger compared to their plastic counterparts. In cases that a material is needed to be built thin and yet durable, die cast parts are preferable. Also, die casting parts can withstand a wider range of temperature than their plastic counterparts, allowing them to be more ideal in harsh working environments with extreme temperatures.

Moreover, since, die casting manufacturers use non ferrous type of die casting alloys for high pressure die casting like aluminum, zinc and magnesium, the argument that die cast parts are most likely to corrode easily pushed out of the picture.

Environmental Issue

When it comes to issues with environment, plastic products do not bode very well. If you wonder how long plastic products biodegrade, then the answer is: it takes at least few hundred years. This implies that old and non usable plastic products are going to flood the landfills. Comparing these plastic products to die cast parts, the latter is actually made of recycled material. Approximately ninety five percent of metal used in die cast parts production is recycled from salvaged parts. With this, metal is proven to be a more sustainable material that could be used not only once but many times over.
