Zamak is one of the most widely used and important die-casting alloys in manufacturing today, especially suitable for hot chamber die-casting processes. The main difference between them lies in the different contents of copper (Cu) and magnesium (Mg), which directly affects their mechanical properties, dimensional stability and processing performance.

A subeutectic aluminum-silicon-copper alloy, specially optimized for high-pressure die casting (HPDC) processes. It has become one of the most widely used die-cast aluminum alloys in the world due to its excellent casting fluidity, good mechanical strength and relatively good machinability. Read More

The pattern draft of the die is a crucial yet often overlooked fundamental element in the design of die-casting molds. It refers to the designed inclination Angle on the casting wall perpendicular to the parting surface, and its sole purpose is to ensure that the casting can be smoothly removed from the mold.

Traditiona die casting and squeeze die casting are two distinct processes. Although both involve molds and pressure, their principles, purposes, and product characteristics are fundamentally different. Traditional die casting: High-pressure and high-speed filling of the cavity, emphasizing efficiency and complex shapes, but it is prone to porosity inside. Squeeze die casting: Low-speed stable filling and solidification under high pressure, emphasizing high quality and density, and heat-treatable. Read More

Aluminum squeeze casting,also known as liquid die forging, is a composite forming process that combines the characteristics of casting and forging. It achieves high-quality castings with dense internal structure and mechanical properties close to those of forgings by applying extremely high mechanic Read More

The performance of die-cast aluminum alloys relies on alloying elements like Si, Mg, Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn. Si improves fluidity and wear resistance; Mg enhances strength via heat treatment; Cu boosts strength but reduces corrosion resistance; Mn mitigates Fe's harm; Fe aids demolding but may cause brittleness; Zn strengthens but increases corrosion risk. Balancing these elements optimizes alloy properties. Read More
