Read MoreA Brief Comparison between Die Casting and 3D Printing
Aluminum, magnesium, zinc, as well as brass, are the prominent raw materials used by modern-day foundries to die cast components. For additive printing, however, raw materials titanium, stainless steel, silver, gold, gypsum, bronze, brass, and so on, are used in general. Below is a comparison between 3D Printing and die casting, two of the most […]
Read MoreProperties of Aluminum and Zinc Alloys in Pressure Die Casting and Post Treatment
Generally, die casters will use aluminum, zinc, magnesium, and so on in pressure die casting. Aluminum is the best-suited raw material for manufacturing automobile components since they are a corrosion-resistant alloy and withstand temperatures to up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Besides that, aluminum components are used in household antennas, lighting fixtures, and marine […]
Read MoreAvoiding Cold Laps in Die Casting Mold Design
Mold design is one of the most crucial aspects of the die casting process. It is employed in the die cast process to evaluate the status of the product and to prevent the occurrence of any kind of defects. Improving the mold design is the most effective way to obtain the desired results in the […]
Read MoreFactors that Influence the Choice of Colors in Anodizing of Alloys
Anodizing is a post treatment method in aluminum die casting and black hard anodizing will make an alloy somewhat corrosion free. Die casters offer post-treatment for original equipment manufacturers, but the end consumers may feel that any color can be mixed and matched whilst anodizing aluminum. However, that is not always true. Black hard anodizing […]
