Automobile aluminum die-casting parts refer to aluminum alloy workpieces obtained by casting various grades of aluminum alloys. They are mainly used in automobile construction. Usually, sand casting or metal casting is used to pour the aluminum alloy heated to a liquid state. In the mold cavity, the resulting aluminum alloy parts of various shapes and sizes are obtained. We call the obtained aluminum alloy parts as aluminum castings. The next content that the editor brings to you is an introduction to the advantages of automotive aluminum die castings and the factors that affect prices.
Aluminum castings are widely used, such as equipment accessories, power accessories, petroleum machinery accessories, train accessories, auto accessories, volutes, valve bodies, brackets, kitchen supplies, bicycle accessories, textile machinery accessories, etc. The applications of aluminum castings can be seen everywhere .
Aluminum castings have many unparalleled advantages over other metal material castings. The biggest advantage of aluminum castings is light weight, corrosion resistance and beautiful appearance. Aluminum castings are greatly favored by users from all walks of life, especially in automobiles. Since lightweighting, aluminum castings have been widely used in the automotive industry.
As the density of aluminum, castings are much lower than that of iron castings and steel castings, and their strength is higher, people prefer lighter aluminum castings to reduce the weight of equipment and structures under the premise of bearing the same load strength.
Aluminum castings have numerous advantages. It has become the direction of the development of the foundry industry. With the development and progress of aluminum alloy casting technology, it will create more brilliant achievements that attract the attention of the world.
There are many factors that affect the price of aluminum castings:
The cost of pure aluminum:
Aluminum castings are mostly made of aluminum alloy, and the main element of the alloy is aluminum. Therefore, the price of pure aluminum will directly affect the cost of aluminum castings.
The cost of other alloys:
The alloys that need to be added in addition to aluminum in aluminum castings, such as zinc, silicon, chromium, nickel, copper, and other chemical elements. The price of these alloys will be higher than the price of pure aluminum. The price and content of the alloy will affect the aluminum The cost of castings.
Casting mold:
There are many kinds of casting molds for aluminum castings. Aluminum alloy turning sand casting mainly includes manual molds, pattern molds, leak molds and top box molds. The efficiency of manual molds is the lowest, suitable for small batch production, and the labor cost is the highest; The mold efficiency is relatively high; the leaking mold and the top box mold have the highest efficiency, and the labor cost is relatively low. The aluminum alloy steel mold is cast with a mold made of hot mold steel. Higher efficiency, lower labor cost, but high mold cost.
