Custom Die Casting – Aluminum, Alloy, Zinc – Bay Area, California

Custom Die Casting, Gravity Casting, Aluminum/Alloy & Zinc

High Pressure Aluminum Die Casting (up to 2200 ton presses) and Zinc (up to 1250 ton presses).

Aluminum Die Casting

Other Metal Casting Processes:

  • Gravity casting of Aluminum (up to the size of 2,000mm*2,000mm*1,000mm)
  • Centrifugal Casting
  • Investment casting of most metals
  • Sand Casting of ferrous and non ferrous metals

ISO 13485 Certified both in USA & Asian facilities

In Gravity, Aluminum and Alloy Die Casting the hot molten metals cause heat-checking, erosion, and soldering in the dies.

Die Tooling Considerations

Die tooling for high-pressure metal casting differs from that used in lower-temperature processes like injection molding. The higher temperatures involved can lead to wear and tear, such as heat checking, erosion, and soldering.

Die Construction

  • Solid Cavities and Cores: We primarily use solid cavities and cores for die casting and gravity casting.
  • Thin Steel Inserts: While thin steel inserts and core/ejector pins can be used, they may experience rapid wear.
  • Secondary Machining: Many intricate details are added through secondary machining rather than direct casting.

Mold Maintenance

Regular mold maintenance is crucial. Techniques like pre-stressing surfaces (shot peening) help to minimize wear and extend the lifespan of the tooling.

We operate under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards for all metal and plastic products.

We can produce aluminum & zinc die castings in all quantities.
