Aluminum Die Casting and Aluminum Die Casting Parts
Aluminum die casting and Aluminum Die Casting Parts. The aluminum die casting process is one that began over a century ago. It is now widely used all around the world and is in fact one of the most popular casting methods in modern times. Aluminum die casting parts are known to offer more advantages than their counterparts; those produced using other casting methods, including stamping, sand casting, forging, and permanent molding, among others.
Aluminum die casting continues to develop as a craft – and as an art, as some people consider it to be. In its early years, aluminum die casting alloys were limited to compositions of lead and tin, followed by the switch to aluminum and zinc die casting. Then came the preference for copper and magnesium, until the birth and evolution of modern alloys which are now being used today. Moreover, the aluminum die casting process no longer uses the injection method which was stated earlier. Nowadays, the process has changed from using low-pressure methods to high-pressure casting, semi-solid aluminum die casting, and squeeze casting. Plus, it has become more efficient in terms of speed in the production and choices in the end products. Thanks to technological advancements, the aluminum die casting process is now capable of producing strong, dimensionally precise, and high-integrity aluminum die casting parts that boast of superior surface finishes and shapes, sizes, and thicknesses of all kinds.
The future of aluminum die casting is teeming with promise, based on the rising demand for die cast parts. There are ongoing refinements in the aluminum die casting process itself, beginning with the alloys used and the final stages of production. Aluminum die casting applications are presently enjoying considerable expansion into almost every market that uses metalwork, and aluminum die casting experts are nowhere near stopping their high-volume existence.

Die Casting Aluminum Information
Die Casting, A Brief Description:
Diecasting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under pressure,
into a hardened steel die or also called mold. Dies are often water-cooled. Dies are then opened,
and the die castings are ejected (many times thousands of parts each day, sometimes only a few
hundred). Once the tooling is paid for, die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process.

Aluminum Die Casting History
Aluminum Die Casting has evolved from the original low-pressure injection method to techniques including high-pressure die casting. These modern processes are capable of producing high integrity, near net-shape aluminum die castings with excellent surface finishes.
Aluminum Die Casting has been around a long time. The earliest examples of aluminum die casting by pressure injection – as opposed to casting by gravity pressure – occurred in the mid-1800s. A patent was awarded to Sturges in 1849 for the first manually operated machine for die casting printing type. The process was limited to printer’s type for the next 20 years, but development of other shapes began to increase toward the end of the century. By 1892, commercial applications included parts for phonographs and cash registers, and mass production of many types of parts began in the early 1900s.
Today, Aluminum Die Casting is used in many aluminum part manufacturing products, such as: Automobile parts, Airplane parts, Light Fixture parts and Hand Tool parts.
There are Aluminum Die Casting manufacturing companies all over the world and in almost every continent. Look at the products in your home, car or where you work and notice the many aluminum die casting parts used in the products manufacture.
