Capability / Aluminum Die Casting

Aluminum die casting for housings, heat sinks and structural parts

Aluminum is often selected for a balance of strength, weight, thermal behavior, finishing compatibility and production efficiency.

Aluminum Die Casting in project context

Aluminum die casting is widely used for industrial enclosures, electronic housings, LED thermal parts, automotive components and energy equipment. The final alloy should be selected around casting geometry, mechanical demand, corrosion exposure, machining and surface finish.

Common alloy families include ADC12, A380, A360 and AlSi10Mg. Final selection depends on the drawing and application rather than a universal recommendation.

Technical profile

Aluminum Die Casting planning data

Use this table for project planning, then confirm every critical value against the approved drawing and process plan.

Common alloys	ADC12, A380, A360, AlSi10Mg
Typical process	High-pressure die casting
Finishing	Anodizing, powder coating, painting, polishing, blasting and plating by project
Machining	CNC milling, drilling, tapping, boring and turning
Corrosion planning	Alloy and finish selected for the operating environment
Tolerance	Project-specific; define critical and non-critical dimensions

Figures reflect current factory equipment and capacity. Final tolerances, cycle time and lead times are confirmed against the drawing in the quotation.

Project flow

How a aluminum die casting project moves forward

Each stage produces a decision or document that the next stage depends on. This keeps engineering, purchasing and production aligned.

Application review

Confirm load case, environment, thermal target, sealing requirement and appearance class.

Alloy selection

Compare fluidity, strength, corrosion behavior, machining and finishing.

DFM

Control wall transitions, draft, porosity risk and machining allowance.

Verification

Use dimensional, material and process checks defined for the approved drawing.

Buyer questions

Questions to resolve before production.

These answers define the normal project path and the information needed for a useful quotation.

What information is needed for a aluminum die casting review?

Provide the controlled 2D/3D drawing, material requirement, annual quantity, finishing requirement, critical dimensions, target market and delivery date.

Can the project start from a sample or concept?

An initial feasibility discussion is possible, but the quotation and tooling scope should be based on a controlled drawing revision.

How are tolerances set?

Tolerance and inspection requirements are defined from the drawing, critical features, process capability and agreed datum strategy.

How is tooling ownership handled?

Ownership, storage, maintenance and transfer terms are defined in the quotation or supply agreement before the tooling project starts.
