Aluminum die casting is a process used to manufacture a type of aluminum known as die casting aluminum. Aluminum is first molted using high-pressure techniques. Then, in the die casting manufacturing process, the metal is hardened in the molds and different shapes are produced. The aluminum die casting produced as a result of this process is an alloy that has a range of characteristics, which make it ideally suited to a number of different uses.

Die casting manufacturing process was first used in 1838. A combination of molten tin and lead was poured into a steel mold. As the metal alloy cooled, it took on the shape of the mold it was in.

Initially, die casting was used solely in the printing industry. However, as more dies in different shapes were introduced, die casting manufacturing became a part of every major industry, providing various parts of machinery.

It was in 1914 that a desire to move to safer, stronger alloys led to the use of aluminum and zinc in the die casting manufacturing process. From thereon, the process of die casting continued to grow, using many other metals and adopting newer techniques in the die casting process. Today, the use of high-pressure techniques is the norm in the die casting process and it results in quality products and excellent finish.

Typically, die casting can be done either by a hot chamber process or a cold chamber process. The former is used for alloys with low melting temperatures such as zinc, lead or tin. The cold chamber process is used for alloys with high melting temperatures such as aluminum, brass or magnesium.

The vacuum aluminum die casting process was originated and developed China, GC Precision Mold is the die casting manufacturer who has reached experience in this die casting process.

over 8 years ago for the casting of high strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum. The castings required high-temperature powder coating, and vacuum enabled them to be made without imperfections like micro blisters or porosity.

Aluminum die casting process service includes raw casting design with the die casting mold, finish production design involving post-machining and other surface finishing such as electroplating, electrophoresis, painting, anodizing and powder coating.

Aluminum die casting is efficient and economical and offers a wide range of durable shapes and components. Little or no machining is required after a part is die casted, because the process provides very close tolerances for even complex shapes. Aluminum die casting can also be easily plated or finished. Aluminum die castings are dimensionally stable and heat resistant.
