Common Materials Used in Die Casting for Automotive Industry
1.Aluminum
Aluminum is a popular material used in manufacturing lightweight automotive parts for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It boasts the properties like stiffness, corrosion resistance, ductility, and high machinability. Higher strength can be found at automotive diecastings from this metal even at high temperatures. ADC12 is the most widely used and is often used in automotive parts.Thealuminum die casting process is ideal for the production of parts such as engine brackets, gearbox cases, valve bodies, hydrauliccylinders, etc.
2.Zinc
Zinc is one of the most important metals in the automotive seclor. lts usage in automotive parts is almost 28%, and the accuracyof the die casting process can be up to 99.8%. Zinc die casting is a right choice to produce high quality parts with strict tolerancesand smooth finishes,eliminating the need for further processing. lt is widely used to manufacture products like door lock housings,retractor gears, pulleys in seat belts, and many more.
3.Magnesium
Magnesium is a lightweight and flexible metal used in die casting, which allows for the creation of complex and thin-walled components in the automotive industry. It has high specific strength, excellent heat and temperature resistance. Magnesium diecasting is a great option to produce engine blocks, gearboxes, clutch housings, wheels and engine cradles, and oil pans.

Advantages of Automotive Die Casting
Compared to other traditional metal fabrication methods, automotive die casting has its own advantages.These advantages are listed and described below:
  • Manufacture of Lightweight Component
  • Enhanced Automation and Flexibilit
  • Increased Sustainability of Component
  • Precise and complex part
Manufacture of Lightweight Components
Automotive die casting is a cost-efective way to fabricate lightweight components. The use of lighter metals like zinc, aluminum, copper, and magnesium faclitates the process.Lightweight components enables the manufacturers to save money on transportaion and deliver costs .This results in lower prices for consumers. Lightweight components also can help consumers to improve their energy efficiency levels. in the process, less waste is generated, which reduces carbon footprint and positively impacts global warming issues.
Enhanced Automation and Flexibility
Automotive die casting is an effective method of producing parts in large quantities. It is suitable for the mass production of vehicles. It is a highly automated process with great flexibility, and can be utilized to create various automotive parts in different sizes. By using the process of automotive die casting, manufacturers can rapidly produce parts on different vehicles such as wheels, vehicle chassis, paneling, and suspension components.
Increased Sustainability of Components
Automotive die casting allows for increased sustainability of components because of the fabricaton of eco-friendly and sustainable components .Metals that are commonly used in automotive die casting are easily recyclable, including aluminum, zinc and magnesium.
Precise and complex Parts
Complex parts with high dimensional accuracy and durability can be fabricated with the process of automotive die casting.Dimensional accuracy in harsh conditions can be ensured due to the low thermal expansion coefficients from metals, which are commonly used in die casting.

FAQ
  • Can aluminum die casting products contribute to cutting down automobile emissions and increase fuel efficiency?
  • What impacts the cost of the automotive die casting parts?
  • What are the limitations of automotive die casting parts?
  • Which quality standards are followed by Echofast to produce automotive castings?
1.Can aluminum die Casting products contribute to cutting down automobile emissions and increasing fuel efficiency?
The automotive die castings by Echofast seek to cut down automobile emissions and increase fuel efficiency. To achieve the goal, automotive parts should be lighter. According to the latest research, reducing the weight of a part by 15% reduces the emissions and increases fuel efficiency by 25%. As aluminum has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, it is ideal for producing lightweight automotive parts. Therefore, aluminum die casting products can help to cut down automobile emissions and increase fuel efficiency.
2.What impacts the cost of the automotive die casting parts?
Material, wall thickness, projected area and tolerance.
3.What are the limitations of automotive die casting parts?
