In addition to economically producing high-quality parts in large quantities, die casting offers manufacturers the following benefits:

Excellent part dimensional accuracy

Insert casting is possible

Thinner walls compared to other casting methods

Fast delivery of high-volume products

Smooth surfaces with reduced secondary machining requirements

Long die life — 100,000 cycles or more

Die castings also offer excellent dimensional accuracy as well as outstanding structural and mechanical properties, such as a dense, fine-grained surface texture and high fatigue strength. Depending on the metal used and the part design, metal density and porosity can be controlled. Parts made from many nonferrous metals are excellent candidates for the die casting process. These include:

Aluminum

Zinc

Copper

Magnesium

Lead and Pewter

The properties of the final part depend on the geometry of the part, the metal used, the end-use requirements and the size. After casting, the part is deburred and then machined, assembled to other parts or polished. In addition, the final finish may apply a surface coating such as painting, plating, powder coating or printing.
