Differences between Aluminum, Zinc And Magnesium Die Casting

• Aluminum Alloy Die Casting

Aluminum die casting is a process in which liquid metal of aluminum alloy is injected into a mold under high pressure and cooled and solidified under pressure. Aluminum die casting uses aluminum alloy material, the main components are aluminum, copper, zinc, manganese and magnesium and other elements. Aluminum die casting has excellent strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Compared with other materials, aluminum die casting products have good surface finish, high uniformity, not easy to deform, high molding precision. Aluminum alloy also has good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Aluminum die casting is suitable for automotive, aerospace, electronics, machinery and other fields.

• Magnesium Alloy Die Casting

Magnesium alloy refers to magnesium-based alloy materials, which are characterized by light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. Magnesium alloy materials are widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, electronics, machinery and other high-tech fields. In the field of aviation and aerospace, magnesium alloys are widely used in engines, seats, bolts and other components; in the automotive field, magnesium alloys are used in braking systems, wheels and other aspects.

Compared with aluminum die casting and zinc die casting, magnesium alloy is lighter in density, higher in strength, better in rigidity, and has good seismic and shock resistance. However, magnesium alloy also exists easy to oxidize, easy to corrode and other shortcomings, in the production and processing, need to use suitable protective measures.

• Zinc Alloy Die Casting

Zinc die casting is a process in which zinc alloy liquid metal is injected into a mold under high pressure and cooled and solidified under pressure. Zinc die casting uses zinc alloy material, the main component is zinc, aluminum, copper and other elements. Zinc die casting products have smooth and bright surface, complex shape, stable size, good heat conduction and plasticity.

Zinc alloy material is one of the commonly used metal materials, with good toughness and ductility, can be processed into various shapes and sizes. Zinc die casting is suitable for electric appliance shells, automobile parts, decorations and other fields.

In short, in different areas of application, need to choose materials according to their own needs. Aluminum die casting has excellent strength and corrosion resistance; zinc die casting has good heat conduction and plasticity; magnesium alloy has light weight, high strength and other characteristics. Choose the material that suits you, in order to play the best effect in the application.
