Aluminum die casting component

Aluminum Die Casting Manufacturer

Aluminum die casting is a non-expendable manufacturing process that can be repeatedly used to produce different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses of aluminum alloys for die casting. The aluminum die casting process also creates lightweight parts, maintains high operating temperatures, and provides excellent corrosion resistance for various industrial applications.

SKS is your trusted aluminum die casting manufacturer and supplier. In addition to aluminum die casting, we provide in-house design and engineering solutions for your tool and die production needs. Contact us to learn more, check out our photo gallery, or request a custom quote today.

Aluminum Die Casting Alloy Options

Aluminum alloys are ideal for a wide range of products due to their unique qualities. Alloy 380 Aluminum is the most used alloy for die casting, and it has been found to meet a wide variety of customer needs. Additional high-quality aluminum alloy material options include:

  • 380
  • 360
  • 390
  • 413

Aluminum Die Casting Advantages

One of the most significant benefits of aluminum die casting is that it creates lighter parts—with more surface finishing options than other die cast alloys, including aluminum anodize. Additional advantages associated with aluminum die casting include:

  • Large and complex part production
  • High strength parts
  • Excellent surface finish and accuracy
  • High production rate
  • Low labor cost
  • High operating temperatures
  • Outstanding corrosion resistance
  • Lightweight
  • Good stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio
  • Superior EMI and RFI shielding properties
  • Excellent thermal conductivity
  • High electrical conductivity
  • Good finishing characteristics
  • Full recyclability
