Aluminum Die Casting/ Cold Chamber Die Casting

Aluminum alloys are the most widely used for die cast parts. Aluminum die casting suppliers benefit from the total recyclability of the material and its ease of use. Due to the comparatively higher melting point, aluminum die casting may require a cold chamber casting process. Metal is melted in a separate furnace and deposited into the shot chamber through a pouring hole by hand with a ladle. In cold chamber die casting, the mold is connected directly to the shot chamber and does not utilize a plunger system. Instead, a ram forces molten metal into the mold and held under high pressure while the metal solidifies.

Aluminum Alloy Characteristics

Aluminum Die Casting Applications

High operating temperatures

Outstanding corrosion resistance

Lightweight

Very good strength and hardness

Good stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio

Excellent EMI and RFI shielding properties

Excellent thermal conductivity

High electrical conductivity

Good finishing characteristics

Full recyclability

Aluminum’s strength, corrosion resistance, and heat dissipating properties offer mechanical designers significant advantages. And our proprietary Thin Wall Aluminum Technology has made aluminum die casting an option for even more applications.

Aluminum castings improve automotive fuel efficiency by contributing to weight saving requirements

Aluminum is used in a broad range of networking and infrastructure equipment in the telecom and computing industries because RF filter boxes and housings require heat dissipation

In handheld devices, aluminum castings provide EMI/RFI shielding, rigidity, and durability with minimal weight

Because of aluminum’s excellent electrical performance and shielding properties, even in high-temperature environments, die cast aluminum is ideal for electronic connectors and housings
