Die Cast Metal

High-Speed Production

Die casting is the fastest way to get from raw material to completed part. It allows manufacturers to complete thousands of parts without needing to change the tooling.

High Thermal Conductivity

Die cast metal materials are heated to high temperatures during the manufacturing process, which means they’ll hold up against high temperatures again if they’re exposed to heat sources during use. They are also resistant to corrosion, which means they’re less likely than other materials to require costly repairs and replacements. These qualities make die casting ideal for the automotive and aeronautic industries.

High Electrical Conductivity

The metals that are used when die casting are excellent electricity conductors. This is why die casting is commonly used to produce parts in the energy industry, including electrical housing and connectors.

Dimensional Accuracy and Stability

When molten metal is injected into a die, it retains the same shape and internal dimensions. The finished product will completely fill the mold, so every part will be accurate and consistent.

Strength and Weight

Because die-cast parts are manufactured without welding, the material and not its construction determines the part’s strength. Metal die-cast parts are also stronger than plastic injections, which mean they usually last longer.

Multiple Finishing Techniques

Parts made using a die cast are easy to plate and can be finished with a textured or smooth exterior.

Simplified Assembly

If a part needs to be assembled with another part, the user can attach studs or drill a hole to fasten the pieces together.
