Why would you use die casting?

Six Reasons to Choose Die Casting


 

1. Complex Structures Made in One Go

Eliminates Assembly Hassles: Die casting can directly create complex structures like car engine cooling channels and phone antenna slots in a single mold, eliminating welding/riveting steps.
High Precision: Thin sheets as thin as 0.5mm and curved reinforcing ribs can be formed perfectly, with dimensions accurate to the thickness of a hair (±0.1mm), ensuring a seamless fit.


 

2. Rapid Mass Production

Instant Output: Die casting machines can produce a part (such as an electric vehicle motor housing) every 60 seconds, allowing for 24/7 production and enough to build a small mountain of parts.
Extremely Long Mold Durability: A single steel mold can withstand over 100,000 cycles, making the cost per part negligible.


 

3. Lightweight and Strong

Half the Weight of Iron: Aluminum alloy die castings (such as bicycle frames) are 50% lighter than iron parts without compromising strength.
Material Saving: Waste from the gate can be remelted, achieving a material utilization rate of over 95%, far more cost-effective than machining and discarding a lot of debris.


 

4. Smooth Surface with Minimal Machining

Ready to use immediately: Die-cast parts have a natural metallic sheen (like the bezel of a new phone), eliminating the need for polishing.
Easy to Color: Direct painting and electroplating are effortless; outdoor faucets won't fade for ten years.


 

5. Cost Control to the Core

Low labor requirements: Fully automated production lines (robotic arms for parts handling + machine quality inspection), one shift manages ten lines.
Low Scrap Rate: After parameter adjustments, fewer than 5 out of 1000 parts are defective, much more stable than hand forging.


 

6. Special Performance Enhancements

Fast heat dissipation: Laptop heatsinks are die-cast with 0.8mm thin fins, eliminating the need for excessive fan speed.
Interference Resistance: 5G router casings have embedded shielding layers during die-casting, ensuring rock-solid signal strength.
