Generally speaking, die casting alloys are considered non-ferrous.

However, they are numerous and have a wide range of physical and mechanical properties that allow them to be used in almost every imaginable application.

Aluminum alloys are the most common and widely used alloys, sometimes followed by silicon and copper.

Lightweight alloys are preferred for die casting because of their perfect corrosion resistance, ease of castability, and excellent mechanical and physical properties and dimensional stability.

The die casting process is outstanding for its ability to provide/produce a high level of consistency, planning accuracy, and excellent surface finish.

Identifying the best die casting alloy can eliminate the requirement for subsequent production processing, improve production and processing cost-effectiveness, and reduce manufacturing time.
