These castings are manufactured by injecting the metal into other metal molds that is under huge amounts of pressure. Quick injecting and quick solidification under high pressure make a fine grain surface, which leads to having best wear and fatigue properties. Aluminum die castings are generally not given heat treatment, so they cannot be welded.
Aluminum castings are used to replace the iron castings and by doing so it will reduce the weight of the components by half. That is why auto producers are searching the areas where they may replace iron parts with aluminum parts. Most auto manufacturers prefer alloys of aluminum specially the A 300 series which have a mix of silicon + a minor amount of magnesium. The element of silicone in the casting helps in providing fluidity which also helps in making the cast into thinner parts. The magnesium gives strength (via heat treatment). An important feature of aluminum and its alloys is that in comparison with ferrous alloys which shows unlimited fatigue strength, the fatigue strength of aluminum alloys goes down with increase in number of stress cycles this needs to be taken in account while designing its parts. These castings begin with an idea and that idea is for a new product and the one who has visualized the products can give some ideas regarding that product. The idea creator develops a sample product or a drawing, one that makes clear his or her conceptualized product. The product must be evaluated before it is being processed and a lot of things needs to considered. Does it meet the quality standards recognized by the aluminum industry? Can it be manufactured using available technology? What tools and machines are needed to make the conceptualized product?
In the mechanical industry various other components are also used Construction Equipment Aggregates, Trailers. An important feature of aluminum and its alloys is that in comparison with ferrous alloys which shows an unlimited fatigue strength, the fatigue strength of aluminum alloys goes down with increase in number of stress cycles this needs to be taken in account while designing its parts. To get high quality castings there are a variety of processes that are followed and while the process of casting has to be followed some precautions should be taken.
It is important to ensure that the product has the correct flow and less porosity. Aluminum is one of the few metals which may be cast by all processes of casting. Aluminum alloys are used in the die castings and in USA alone you will get aluminum die castings that are manufactured every year. Die casting is suitable for production of smaller parts. But when expensive manufacturing equipment is used the castings weigh 5kg-50kg. Cost effectiveness can be obtained only by large scale production. With die casting it is possible to have close tolerance and fine finishing surface.
