Die Casting Consultant

Die casting is a well established process for manufacturing near-net shape, thin walled components from aluminum, magnesium, zinc and copper-alloys. Die casting is the most common casting process for aluminum alloys - in fact about ? of all aluminum castings in North America are produced by die casting. It is an inexpensive technique to produce near-net shape components having complex shapes, thin walls, excellent surface quality and tight dimensional tolerances.
