TWO METALS. TWO PROCESSES. ONE PERFECT FIT.
Why Choose Aluminum Die Casting?
Aluminum is a strong choice when engineers need lightweight, corrosion-resistant parts that manage heat effectively. Its strength-to-weight ratio also makes it well suited for larger components used in automotive, industrial, electrical, and outdoor applications.
Why Choose Zinc Die Casting?
Zinc flows easily into thin walls and intricate features, making it ideal for detailed parts with tight tolerances and smooth finishes. Its lower casting temperature can also extend die life, which may reduce tooling costs over longer production runs.
Surface Finish Selection Guide.
Shot Blasting
Best for: Cleaning castings, creating a uniform matte texture, and preparing surfaces for coatings.
Vibratory Deburring
Best for: Removing sharp edges, minor flash, and imperfections from smaller components.
Powder Coating
Best for: Durable, attractive finishes requiring strong resistance to scratches, chemicals, moisture, and weather.
Wet Paint
Best for: Precise color matching and applications requiring specialized colors, gloss levels, or textures.
E-Coating
Best for: Consistent corrosion protection on complex parts, recessed areas, and difficult-to-reach surfaces.
Anodizing (black/clear)
Best for: Improving the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and metallic appearance of aluminum parts.
Is Your Part Ready for Die Casting?
Small design decisions can have a major impact on tooling cost, cycle time, part quality, and long-term reliability. Review these fundamentals early to build a better casting—and avoid expensive changes later.
