Common Materials Used in Die Casting for Communication Equipment
Housings
There are many types of die casting materials. Each material has its
own unique characteristics, and the appropriate material needs to be
selected according to the specific application scenario.
Aluminum alloy
Aluminum alloy is one of the most widely used die casting materials
currently. It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength
and good corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the field of
communications.
Common aluminum alloy die casting materials include ADC12, A380, A356,
etc. Among them, ADC12 is the most widely used and is often used in
communication equipment housings.
Zinc alloy
Zinc alloy is commonly used in die casting . It has the
characteristics of low density, high hardness, high strength and good
ductility.
Common zinc alloy die casting materials include Zamak2, Zamak3,
Zamak5, etc.
Magnesium alloy
Magnesium alloy is a lightweight, high-strength, high-rigidity
material with good corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.
Common magnesium alloy die casting materials include AZ91D, AM60B,
AM50A, etc. Among them, AZ91D is the most widely used material.
Copper alloy
Copper alloy is a material with excellent thermal conductivity,
electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and other
characteristics. It is widely used in the field of communications.
Common copper alloy die casting materials include C36000, C37700,
C48500, etc. Among them, C37700 is the most widely used and is often
used in communication equipment.
