DIE CASTING ALLOYS​

Zinc, aluminum, and magnesium are the three main die casting alloys. They are normally non-ferrous and their mechanical properties vary greatly to fit almost every type of application a manufacturer may need. Not only can die cast alloys withstand high operating temperatures, but they are also fully recyclable

CONVENTIONAL​

Benefits of Conventional Tooling Conventional die cast tooling is designed with single or multiple cavities. The tool is designed to be efficient and cut down on secondary operations which help lower costs.​

DIE CAST ALLOYS ALSO HAVE：​

• Good corrosion resistance
• High strength and hardness
• High thermal conductivity
• High electrical conductivity
• Outstanding EMI/RFI shielding properties
• Good finishing characteristics
  Separately, each die cast alloy offers a variety of benefits that the other may not offer. That is one of the great things about die casting, you do not have to be limited when it comes to choosing the right metal.

BENEFITS OF CONVENTIONAL TOOLING​

Other benefits of conventional die cast tooling, include: Dies that are designed to efficiently manage high volume production Net shape die casting, with design focused to avoid secondary operations Steel braced dies to aid in the longevity of the tool Efficient production with properly planned cooling and water lines

Die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured or forced into steel molds. The molds—also known as tools or dies—are created using steel and are specially designed for each project. This allows each component to be created with accuracy and repeatability. Aluminum, zinc, and magnesium are the most commonly used die casting alloys
