Die Casting Alloys

  • Q Aluminum Alloys

    A Aluminum die casting alloys typically contain silicon, copper, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc. This makes them lightweight and strong. Compared to other non-ferrous materials, aluminum die-cast parts offer more surface finishing options and can handle higher temperatures. They are rigid, have impressive strength-to-weight ratios, good conductivity, and are resistant to corrosion.
    Die Casting Aluminium alloys types:
    A360, A380, A390, A413, ADC-12, ADC-1
    ADC-12, A380 are the two most commonly used Aluminum die casting materials.


    Aluminum Alloy Die Casting Characteristics and Advantages:
    1. Lightweight
    2. High strength-to-weight ratio
    3. Excellent thermal conductivity
    4. Corrosion resistance
    5. Good electrical conductivity
    6. Versatility
    7. Dimensional accuracy and tight tolerances
    8. Complex shapes and thin walls
  • Q Zinc Alloys

    A Zinc is the easiest metal to cast among the die-casting metals and is typically used in hot chamber processes. Die Casting Zinc Alloy adds elements: aluminum, copper, magnesium, etc. With high density and high ductility, good impact strength, and very good surface smoothness, zinc can form very thin or fine parts, and its low melting point (380°C) means that the cast die will be in use for far longer than dies used for some other metals. Because of zinc's susceptibility to corrosion, it often requires additional coating or plating before use.

    Die Casting Zinc alloys types:
    Zamak-2, Zamak-3, Zamak-5, Zamak-7, ZA-8, ZA-12, ZA-27
    We offers the most popular types of Zamak and ZA die casting zinc alloys: Zamak-2 (ZA-2), Zamak-3 (ZA-3), Zamak-5, Zamak-7, ZA-8, ZA-27.


    Zinc Alloy Die Casting Characteristics and Advantages:
    1. Low melting point 
    2. High hardness
    3. Impact strength
    4. Superior Stability
    5. Improved Castability
    6. Shortened Cycle Time
    7. Extended Die Life
    8. Excellent Mechanical Qualities
    9. Excellent Surface Finish and Plating Compatibility

  • Q Magnesium Alloys

    A Magnesium features: extremely low density, high strength, good fluidity, great corrosion resistance, and easy filling of complex cavities. Its melting point is 520°C. The main alloying elements of magnesium die casting alloy are aluminum, zinc, manganese, cerium, thorium, and a small amount of zirconium or cadmium.

    Die Casting Magnesium Alloys Types:
    AZ91D, AZ31B, AM60B, AZ63A, AM50A, AZ92A, AS41B
    The most common Die Casting Magnesium Alloys is the AZ91D.

    Magnesium Alloy Die Casting Characteristics and Advantages:

    1. Toughness
    2. Durability
    3. Lightweight
    4. Good castability
    Magnesium alloy is 75% lighter than steel and 33% lighter than aluminum without losing strength. It is better for complex die-casting parts with tight tolerance and has good corrosion resistance. So, it is widely used in the Electron electricity Products, Rail Transit, Automotive, and Military industries.

  • Q Copper Alloys

    A Copper and copper alloys are incredibly stable, conductive, durable, corrosion and wear resistant. As copper alloys have a greatly high melting point, that cause dies and casting chambers used to treat this particular metal tend to have a significantly shorter lifespan than those used to treat aluminum or zinc metals.

    Commonly used Die Casting Copper alloys:
    YT40-1 (YZCuZn40Pb), YT16-4 (YZCuZn16Si4), YT30-3 (YZCuZn30Al3), YT35-2-2-1 (YZCuZn35Al2Mn2Fe)

  • Q Lead Alloys

    A
    Lead alloy is a kind of metal that is high density, soft, and malleable with a low melting point. Die Casting Lead alloy is added 3~5% Sb. alloy to Lead. Antimony alloy makes the soft Lead harder and easier to eject from the mold cavities during the die casting process.
    Usage of Die Casting Lead Alloy:
    1. Lead acid battery terminals, Lead acid battery bushings, Lead acid battery connectors, Lead acid battery spare parts.
    2. Finishing sinker, Lure bait, Weight parts
     
  • Q Tin Alloys

    A Tin alloys provide high density and extreme accuracy. Its main property is corrosion resistance. Same to Lead alloy, Tin also is the first metal used in the die-casting process. To ensure public health, the use of lead and tin is prohibited in any food service applications. they are typically used in combination with aluminum, zinc, and copper alloys to prevent corrosion.
