About Die Casting
The die casting process forces molten aluminum, magnesium, and zinc under high pressure and control speed into the cavities of two part tooling molds—a fixer die half and an ejector die half with the impression of the casting component fabricated into the die or mold. Pressure is maintained on the mold until the hot metal solidifies and once hardened, the die is opened to remove the casting.
Benefits of Aluminum for your Die Casting Project
The most significant advantage of aluminum die casting compared to other processes like machining, or sheet metal forming is that aluminum can create intricate 3D designs very efficiently at a lower cost. Because of this, manufacturers are able to order customized castings that are ideal for their production needs. Aluminum die castings can turn molten metal into a near-net shape part in seconds, so machining or other operations can be eliminated.
Aluminum die castings are 100% r ecyclable and all of the material involved in the production of aluminum die castings is recycled. The ingot comes from recycled material and all of the excess material and any scrap castings are recycled in-house.

Our goal is to efficiently improve the functionality and manufacture ability of your designs. We offer an extensive variety of die casting, machining, and finishing operations that enable us to complete your project efficiently and economically.
Die Casting Material
When it comes to aluminum die casting, A380 is the most popular die cast metal choice. That’s because it offers a good cost/utility ratio based on a combination of economics and predictable mechanical and physical properties. A380 aluminum’s advantages and characteristics include:
● The ability to cast thin walls and complex shapes
● Corrosion-resistance
● Good mechanical properties
● High thermal and electrical conductivity
● High strength-to-weight ratio
● Environmentally friendly (100% recyclability)
● Good tool life
● Very good castability
● Low cost
● Excellent overall value
Otherwise, Aluminum Alloys That QC Mold Offers
Aluminum Alloy A380, Aluminum Alloy 383 (ADC12), B390, A413, 413, A360
With 20+ aluminum casting machines, ranging from 300 to 1,000 tons of locking force, CWM can produce aluminum parts in a range of sizes from 0.75′ x 0.75″ to 20” x 20” 20” x 20”.
Finishing
Post finishing includes blasting, polishing, plating, painting, printing, anodizing, and precision fine machining. Pressure die casting is a method of processing aluminum into engineering shapes by molding molten metal into hardened pressure die casting molds.
