Are Aluminum Castings Readily Weldable
Most aluminum casting can be readily welded but die casters take into account two aspects to determine the casting’s joinability. First is the composition of the casting, an object produced by pouring the molten metal into the mold. Aluminum casting alloys such as 356.0 and 319.0, for instance, are heat-treatable. These alloys can be welded […]

Several foundries and fabrication shops seek the help of experienced die casting companies to produce metal castings, which closely adhere to their desired design specifications with least number of flaws and other issues. It is crucial to note that some of the defects in a final product could not be avoided, as most of the […]
Read More3 Types of Heat Treating Methods Used in Metal Casting
Metal making is a versatile process, which produces everything from marine parts to aerospace and electronic tools. While foundries use an aluminum casting as a raw material to produce final casting, there are applications that necessitate better mechanical properties that cannot be provided by the raw material used in as cast condition. Such mechanical properties […]
Read MoreHow the Choice of Secondary Alloy may Influence ZAMAK Molding
ZAMAK molding is done to create components with zinc alloys. ZAMAK is an acronym that refers to a family of alloys used in zinc die casting, with zinc being the base metal, and aluminum, magnesium, and copper being the secondary mating materials. It proved to be ideal method to manufacture zinc die-cast parts in foundries […]
Read MoreTypes of Pattern Allowances Used by Patternmakers in Metal Casting
Die casters pour molten metal into a mold cavity with high-pressure in metal casting. The liquid metal cools down and turns into a solidified state inside the cavity. Metal casting can manufacture everything from engine parts to building structures or even art pieces. The mold cavity determines the shape of the casting, but a pattern […]
Read MoreWhy Zinc Die Casting is Preferred over Other Manufacturing Techniques
Several professional die casters prefer to use zinc die casting over other metal shaping processes due to the number of advantages it offers. Most of the finished products that are produced through zinc die casting has exceptional physical and mechanical properties. In addition to that, zinc die casting process also combines precision with cost-effectiveness, which […]
