Why Choose Aluminum Alloy as the Die-Casting Material?

Why Choose Aluminum Alloy as the Die-Casting Material?

Alunex primarily utilize aluminum alloys for die-casting due to their exceptional properties, which make them ideal for a wide range of applications. Aluminum alloys are lightweight, durable, and offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them an optimal choice for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and machinery. These alloys also have excellent thermal conductivity, which is essential for many high-performance components.

We follow international standards set by the International Aluminum Association (JIS/AA/ASTM/DIN) to ensure the quality and consistency of the materials we use. The most commonly used aluminum alloys for die-casting in our production process include:

  • ADC12 (A383): Known for its good fluidity and excellent castability, ADC12 is widely used in the automotive and industrial sectors. It is particularly favored for producing parts that require complex shapes and fine details. This alloy has a balanced mix of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a broad range of applications.
  • ADC10 (A380): A380 is one of the most popular aluminum alloys for die-casting, primarily used in automotive and industrial applications. It offers high strength, good dimensional stability, and excellent pressure tightness. This alloy is particularly valued for its ability to withstand high mechanical stresses, making it ideal for engine parts, transmission housings, and other critical components that require durability and precision.
  • ADC3 (A360): A360 is a highly fluid aluminum alloy known for its excellent castability and corrosion resistance. It is frequently used for components exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as outdoor or marine applications. This alloy offers superior resistance to corrosion and high strength at lower weights, making it suitable for parts requiring excellent wear resistance, like engine blocks, pump housings, and similar components.
  • ADC6 (A514): A514 is a high-strength aluminum alloy known for its ability to withstand high pressure and mechanical stresses. It is used for parts that need enhanced strength without sacrificing weight. A514 is often used in critical applications such as aerospace, heavy machinery, and automotive components where performance, durability, and toughness are essential.
