Benefits of Die Cast Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum alloys are simply a chemical composition in which other elements are added to pure aluminum to enhance its properties, primarily to increase its strength. These elements include iron, silicon, copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc, and they may make up as much as 15% of the alloy by weight. *
Like high-pressure aluminum die cast parts, aluminum alloy die casting produces components that are lightweight, strong, hard and stiff. They withstand high temperatures, offer corrosion resistance as well as thermal and electrical conductivity, provide dimensional stability and have good finishing characteristics.
