ALUMINUM CASTING SERVICES
What is Aluminum Casting
Aluminum casting is a manufacturing process where molten aluminum or aluminum alloys are poured or forced into a mold to create desired shapes. Aluminum offers advantages like lightweightness, corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity. Two common aluminum alloy casting techniques are gravity die casting and pressure die casting. Gravity die casting uses gravity to fill the mold, while pressure die casting uses high pressure to force the molten metal into the mold cavity. These techniques find applications in a variety of industries, including automotive (engine blocks, wheels), aerospace (structural components, housings), electronics (heat sinks, enclosures), and consumer goods (cookware, appliances).
We offer comprehensive custom aluminum alloy casting services, specializing in gravity die casting and pressure die casting to produce high-quality and lightweight aluminum components. Read more about gravity die casting and its applications in our detailed guide.

- A357: Similar to A356 but with higher magnesium content for improved strength and heat treatability; used for high-performance applications.
- A380: Good fluidity and castability, good strength, and good corrosion resistance; used for general-purpose castings and is often the most widely used alloy for pressure die casting.
- A413: Excellent fluidity and castability, superior corrosion resistance compared to A380; used for general-purpose castings, especially where thin walls or intricate details are required.
Pressure Die Casting
Common AlSi alloys for pressure die casting include:
- A380: Excellent castability, good strength, and good corrosion resistance; the most widely used pressure die casting alloy.
- A383: Improved die filling characteristics and hot tearing resistance compared to A380; suitable for more complex parts.
- A360: Excellent corrosion resistance and good strength; suitable for thin-walled castings.
While the above list highlights common aluminum alloy grades we cast, it is not exhaustive. We can work with other alloys based on specific project requirements. Using our gravity die casting and pressure die casting techniques, we can produce aluminum parts in a variety of sizes and complexities.
