Aircraft Die Cast Part1

If you happen to look above and you see a fast fighter plane equipped with modern design and armed with missiles, you’ll surely say that it’s from the United States. The United States is the leader in aircraft manufacturing. The country is supported by an array of fighter planes for national security and defense. But how did they build aircrafts? Well, those aluminum airplane parts are made because of die casting.

What is a die casting company anyway? Die casting is the process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities. Most are made from copper, zinc, aluminum, lead, magnesium, tin and lead based alloys it is used for applications where small parts need to be given a good detail or a perfect surface quality. Furthermore, in aircraft die casting magnesium and aluminum are the commonly used metals because they are lightweight and can operate in different conditions.

Magnesium alloy castings showed corrosion resistant performance. Other than that, magnesium alloys are light weight, low density and it can operate at high temperature. There are several magnesium alloys that can be found in an aircraft such as the RZ5 alloy in helicopter transmission casings and WE43 alloy for the castings of the main rotor gearbox.

Aluminum on the other hand remained to be the most popular alloy used on aircrafts. The parts of aircraft that uses aluminum alloy are door handle ducts, boxes, brackets, quadrants, clips, doublers, wave guides, wing and the body.

Aircraft parts die casting have gone along way. Although aluminum and magnesium are the popular metals used in aircrafts, others are still looking for other options like titanium.
