Aluminum Casting Parts. Die casting is commonly used in the production of engineering metal parts. Die casting involves the process of forcing molten metal under pressure to create reusable steel mold or die. Die casting process can be used in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, but are more commonly used in non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, tin based alloys and zinc. As compared to sand molding, die casting is produced quicker and more economically in automatic machines, and multiple production of similar parts can be cast in just one operation by using multiple dies. Die casting is preferable in the production of tools which require more refined and more detailed process.

Aluminum die casting is a process which involves the placing of melted aluminum metal under pressure and forcing it into a steel mold or die. Aluminum die casts are lightweight alloy which has one-third of the steel’s density, and stiffness. Its light weight makes it useful in the manufacture of tools which place importance to mobility and energy conservation. Aluminum cast parts are commonly used in the construction of aircraft, railroad cars and automobiles. Due to its great resistance to corrosion and high-heat conductivity, Aluminum cast parts are frequently used as well in the manufacture of hardware and tools. Aluminum cast parts are characterized by high thermal, electrical conductivity and strength at high temperatures. These characteristics of Aluminum cast parts made it widely used in the manufacture of cooking utensils and pistons of internal-combustion engines. Aluminum wire is thicker yet lighter than a copper wire, this makes it preferable in long-distance, high-voltage power transmission.
