The aluminum die casting manufacturing process is quite similar to permanent mold casting. Both processes start out by melting or liquefying the aluminum, that is going to be used. The melted materials will then be injected into die cast molds …

Aluminum Auto Parts Reduce Car Weight by Half in 2023
Aluminum Auto Parts Reduce Car Weight by Half
The automobile manufacturing industry has been using aluminum auto parts for many years now. Most of the cars that have been produced in the last few decades have parts that have been made from aluminum die casts. These parts include valve covers, aluminum alloy wheels, carburetors, and some specialty hardware components.
The concept was already afloat in the 1950s and 1960s when a researcher created car parts out of metal sheets that can be stretched five times more than those formed by standard techniques in molding. This made the conclusion that aluminum is a more cost-effective material in manufacturing auto parts.
Carmakers are aware that they will easily be able to shape aluminum auto parts as techniques are continuously being developed. Car parts made out of aluminum would be lighter and therefore, more fuel-efficient. The problem is that the metal often tears whenever they are stamped into shape. An automobile body’s weight can be reduced to half if aluminum will be used instead of steel. However, aluminum is still quite hard to form and shape.
Scientists have developed a process that combines the traditional metal stamping processes with electromagnetic forming technology. This hybrid of technology can then produce excellent auto parts without the aluminum getting torn in the process. The tool stamps the general shape of the automotive part while the electromagnetic pulses are in charge of helping form and refine the details.
With studies being conducted nonstop to perfect the processing of aluminum without tearing it, soon more and more aluminum auto parts will be incorporated into newly manufactured cars.

Processing of Die Casting used for Airplane Parts in 2023
Processing of Die Castings used for Airplane Parts. Die Castings used for airplane parts are increasingly demanded for the aircraft industry. This type of constructions need light weight for mobility. Moreover, it requires durability and resistances to several stresses while flying. Among metals, aluminum is processed to serve as frames or skeleton of the aircraft.
In the process of die casting, molten metal is quickly forced into a mold cavity, which is formed by two opposing dies. Very high pressures are maintained until the metal solidifies. As for aircrafts, the strength of aluminum is significantly increased by high pressure casting. It creates yield of 69%. Aluminum die castings used for airplane parts are strong against torsion and expansion stresses. These are important considerations since a flying aircraft is subjected to several forces.
In this machining process, there is always an associated imperfection called porosity. This is the amount of gas that combines with the solidifying metal, as it cools in the mold. Porosity is characterized by the size and number of air bubbles inside the finished product. There are three levels of porosity. The second and third levels are unacceptable when it comes to machining airplane parts. This is to guarantee safety of the passengers. Advanced technology in treating aluminum is applied to minimize the porosity of the frames.
Die castings used for airplane parts are usually made of different aluminum grades. For example, Al 7075 is commonly used for making frames because of its toughness. Al 5052 can be die casted into billets, planes, coils, tubes and bars.
