Squeeze Casting VS High Pressure Die Casting-2 Advantages of Squeeze Casting Process Over High Pressure Die Casting
Squeeze casting has many advantages over high-pressure die casting(HPDC). Here we are discussing indirect aluminum squeeze casting, a process much closer to aluminum high-pressure die casting. Alum squeeze casting can effectively avoid die casting defects and get high-property casting products. Squeeze Casting Advantages 1—Higher Mechanical Strength Alum squeeze casting products have a higher mechanical […]
Common Surface Treatment Methods of Aluminum Alloy Die Castings
For aluminum alloy die casting parts, there are lots of surface treatment methods, below are some common methods: 1. Powder Spraying (Powder Coating) Powder spraying is to spray powder coating on the surface of the workpiece with powder spraying equipment. Under the action of static electricity, the powder will be uniformly adsorbed on the […]
Common Used Die Casting Aluminum Alloys
Common used die-casting aluminum alloys are mainly divided into three categories: Al-Si Alloy: YL102/ A413/305/ADC1/ALSI12 Al-Si-Cu Alloy: YL112/A380/306/ADC10/ALSI8CU3, YL113/A383/383/ADC12 Al-Si-Mg Alloy: YL101/A360/309/ADC3/ALSI10MG For aluminum-silicon alloys and aluminum-silicon-copper alloys, under normal circumstances, the silicon content is between 6% and 12%, which mainly improves the fluidity of the alloy; the copper content is second, which mainly enhances […]
Casting Classification
There are many process methods for making metal materials into desired products, such as casting, forging, extrusion, rolling, drawing, stamping, cutting, powder metallurgy, and so on. Among them, casting is the most basic, most commonly used, and the most extensive process. The molten metal is poured into a hollow mold made of high-temperature resistant materials, […]
The Role of the Main Elements of Die Casting Aluminum Alloy
Si Element The Si content of cast aluminum is mainly concentrated at 5%-11%, and the elongation of hypereutectic aluminum alloys exceeding 11% is greatly reduced, which is not suitable for die-casting aluminum. As far as elongation is concerned, the Si% content decreases greatly from the range of 0-3%; then it tends to ease until 11% […]
