Our aluminum die castings leverage state-of-the-art cold chamber die casting technology, ensuring precise control over material flow and solidification. This results in components with exceptional dimensional stability and structural integrity.
Through meticulous process optimization, our aluminum castings achieve a smooth, defect-free surface finish, eliminating issues like blistering during electroplating—a common challenge in standard die casting processes. This makes our products ideal for applications requiring high aesthetic standards or corrosion resistance.
Our proprietary gating system design addresses critical flow dynamics:
- Main channel cross-sectional area engineered to exceed the sum of branch channels, minimizing gas entrapment
- Precision-adjusted filling angles for uniform material distribution
- Customized flow paths based on part geometry to prevent oxide skin formation
Equipped with oil-heated feeding pipes, our production line maintains optimal material temperature throughout the casting process, preventing heat loss that can compromise part quality. This ensures consistent melt viscosity and flow characteristics.
Unlike conventional aluminum die castings, our products offer:
- 30% reduction in post-processing defects (e.g., porosity, surface irregularities)
- Enhanced mechanical properties due to improved grain structure
- Greater compatibility with diverse surface treatments (electroplating, anodizing, powder coating)
- Longer tool life due to optimized process parameters
- Inspection: Conduct dimensional checks using calibrated measuring tools to verify compliance with specifications. Refer to Figure 3 for critical measurement points.
- Surface Preparation:
- Remove any residual release agents using a mild alkaline cleaner
- Perform light abrasive cleaning for electroplating applications to ensure adhesion
- Heat Treatment (If Required): Follow recommended temperature profiles for solution annealing or aging, based on the specific aluminum alloy used.
- Surface Finishing:
- For electroplating: Ensure parts are free of porosity (our optimized casting process typically eliminates this need)
- For painting: Apply compatible primers designed for aluminum substrates
- Assembly: Use torque specifications appropriate for aluminum to prevent thread stripping or deformation.
- Store in a dry environment with relative humidity below 60% to prevent oxidation
- Use non-abrasive packaging materials to protect surface finish
- Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 120°C (248°F) before final processing
