Aluminum alloy die casting products play an important role in today’s industry and are commonly used in many industries. With the continuous development of society, people’s living needs are getting higher and higher, and the demand for aluminum die casting technology is also increasing during operation.
The main advantages of aluminum alloy die-casting products:
- Aluminum alloy die castings are beautiful in appearance and relatively light in weight, which can be conveniently transported during operation.
- The density of aluminum alloy is obviously lower than that of cast iron and cast steel, but its strength and resistance to corrosion are much higher. Therefore, under the same load weight, the use of aluminum alloy die castings can reduce the structural weight, which makes aluminum alloy die casting products have advantages in structural and load-bearing applications.
- For the surface of aluminum alloy, it has good surface gloss, good casting performance, and good corrosion resistance, which makes aluminum alloy die-casting products maintain good appearance and performance in both indoor and outdoor applications .
- Good processing performance: Aluminum alloy is easy to process and form, and products with complex shapes and precise dimensions can be manufactured by die-casting process. This makes the manufacturing cost of aluminum alloy die-casting products relatively low.
Wall thickness of aluminum alloy die casting products
In the design process of aluminum alloy die-casting, many customers are not sure about the size of the thick wall of aluminum alloy die-casting, nor do they know how thin the thick wall of aluminum alloy die-casting can be. So, let me introduce to you next.
- The wall of aluminum alloy die-casting parts should not be too thin, which is prone to problems such as undercasting and cold shut.
- Selection of wall thickness of aluminum alloy die-casting parts: under normal use conditions, the wall thickness should not exceed 4.5mm, suitable for small and medium-sized castings: zinc alloy material 1-3mm, aluminum, magnesium alloy 1.5- 4mm, alloy copper 2-4mm.
- The thickness of the aluminum alloy die-casting wall should be uniform, which is conducive to improving the simultaneous solidification of the aluminum alloy liquid after “filling the mold”. It can prevent problems such as forging stress, shrinkage porosity, and cracks.
- For a part of the thick-walled pipe in the aluminum alloy die-casting product variety, ribs or in-cast inserts can be selected to improve its physical properties and change its process performance.
