Aluminum Alloy Casting:
The Core Choice for Heavy-Duty Components
Core characteristics
The density of aluminum alloy is only 1/3 that of steel. After being formed through aluminum alloy casting technology, the workpiece strength can meet the requirements of "thin and lightweight shells" to "load-bearing structural components", and its heat dissipation performance is better than that of most metal materials. It is a cost-effective option that balances "weight reduction + performance".
Adaptation scenarios
New energy vehicle category: Battery pack brackets, motor housings, lightweight components for chassis;
Industrial equipment category: Large equipment shells, heat dissipation cavities, load-bearing structural components;
Appliance category: Metal frames and heat dissipation modules of large-capacity appliances.
Process points
Precisely control the mold temperature (recommend 180-220℃), preferentially adopt integrated casting technology to reduce the cost of multiple component welding and weight redundancy.
Zinc Alloy Casting:
A Cost-Effective
Option for Small Precision Components
Core Characteristics
Zinc alloy has a low melting point (about 380℃) and excellent fluidity. It can cast precise patterns of 0.1mm level, and the raw material and forming cost is about 20% lower than that of aluminum alloy, making it suitable for batch production of small precision components.
Applicable Scenarios
Hardware: Small lock components, tool connectors, bathroom hardware accessories;
Smart Home: Door lock handles, sensor housings, small control components;
Electronics: Connector housings, small terminals, precision structural plugs.
Process Points
After forming, it is necessary to provide anti-corrosion treatment such as passivation and electroplating. At the same time, it relies on the cavity design of high-precision casting molds to ensure the complete formation of fine structures.
Our Factory's Dual-Material Casting Advantages
As a factory that covers both aluminum alloy casting and zinc alloy casting, we can help customers achieve "customized matching":
Large components, lightweight requirements → matching aluminum alloy + efficient casting process;
Small precision, cost-sensitive requirements → matching zinc alloy + precise forming solution;
Conclusion
Aluminum alloy and zinc alloy are not a "replacement relationship", but rather a precise selection based on different product dimensions. Our factory will, based on material properties and process experience, help customers match a more suitable die-casting solution.
