Common Materials Used in Die Casting for Motor Housings
The motor housing needs to have high strength, good heat dissipation,
and excellent electromagnetic shielding. Therefore, aluminum is
usually used in the die casting process as the material of the motor
housing.
ADC6
ADC6 is an excellent material for motor housings. It is a low-copper,
high-silicon die-cast alloy with excellent castability and certain
mechanical properties. The main components of ADC6 are aluminum,
silicon and sodium. Due to its low copper content, ADC6 is not prone
to defects such as pores.It is ideal for products such as motor
casings that require high strength and high castability.
ADC12
ADC12 is a die-cast aluminum with high strength, corrosion resistance
and good machinability.
Its main components are aluminum, copper, indium and platinum. It is
widely used in motors for its excellent mechanical strength and
corrosion resistance. However, due to the high copper content,
castings are prone to defects such as pores and thermal cracks, and
high-pressure shooting technology is required for casting.
ADC5
ADC5 is a high-performance, high-strength, high-temperature die-cast
aluminum. The main components of ADC5 are aluminum, zinc and platinum.
Because of its excellent high-temperature performance and strength, it
is widely used in high-load fields such as motors and engines.
However, due to the high zinc content, castings are prone to defects
such as shrinkage cavities and pores, requiring strict preheating and
temperature control measures.
