Why Low-Pressure Aluminum Die Casting for Automotive Industry?

Low-pressure die casting is an efficient and economical process that provides a wider range of shapes and components for the automotive industry, as well as other applications, than any other manufacturing technique. Parts have a long lifespan and can be designed to complement the visual appeal of surrounding parts. Automotive component designers can gain many advantages and benefits by specifying aluminum die castings.

High-speed production – Low-pressure Die casting is capable of producing complex-shaped automotive parts with tighter tolerances than many other mass-production processes. Almost no machining is required, and thousands of identical automotive die castings can be produced before the mold is repaired.

Dimensional Accuracy and Stability – Die casting produces automotive parts that are durable and dimensionally stable while maintaining tight tolerances. They are also heat resistant.

Strength and Weight – Thin-walled castings of die-cast automotive components are stronger and lighter than those produced by other casting methods. In addition, because die castings are not composed of separate parts that are welded or fastened together, the strength of the automotive part after die casting is the strength of the alloy, not the strength of the joining process.

Multiple finishing techniques – Die cast automotive parts can be produced with smooth or textured surfaces and can be easily plated or finished with minimal surface preparation.
