Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Automotive Parts vs Sand Casting. Aluminum die casting has many advantages over other processes in making parts and housings for different things. For instance, when producing automotive parts, manufacturers would want their finished products to fit the expectations of their customers: lightweight, less expensive, long lasting, durable, strong, and the like. Aluminum Sand Casting is usually the process used to make automotive parts, but because of the long machining process plus it being limited to only certain dimensions, aluminum was opted to be more advantageous when it came to production.

Aluminum die casting basically refers to the process of producing parts through high pressure casting, forcing molten metal through such pressure to create molds that could shape and put together the parts needed to create the fixtures, hardware, and the like. In the case of automotive parts, with aluminum they’re not as heavy in weight, they require less machining, and are made with thinner walls. Pressure die casting automotive parts can also be held with dimensional limits which are much closer to each other. The biggest perk of all is the quick and easy production of these parts since aluminum die casting parts can be produced up to a hundred thousand in number in a day.
