What is Die Casting

Posted by Nick Andrew on October 16th, 2017

This casting method refers to force the molten metal under high pressure into reusable metal dies. Then, metal solidifies rapidly and we get the raw casting by separating dies. This process is a quick and cost-effective method for high volume geometrically complex metal parts. As your Die Casting partner in China, OTTOMMO Casting established the die casting plant as our joint venture in 2011. We aim to provide you high-quality non-ferrous casting parts. Besides, we are capable of full in-house CNC machine, surface treatment and assembly.

What is Die Casting Process

We learnt from past 7 years. Most inquires of die cast parts required machining and surface treatment. Therefore, this makes OTTOMMO die casting unique for you. From tooling/mold making to surface treatment and assembly, we handle everything for you in house. Basically, the process in OTTOMMO Casting will be as below:

Tooling/mold Design - STEP 1  Tooling/mold Making - STEP 2 

Die Cast Parts - STEP 3 Casting Cleaning - STEP 4

Parts Machining - STEP 5 Surface Treatment - STEP 6

Aluminum Die Casting

A380, A384, A386 and A390 are most frequently used material here to die cast parts. This aluminum casting maintains high operational temperatures and excellent corrosion resistance. Besides, it is very light but has pretty decent strength and hardness. Even though this alloy has many options for surface treatment, A380 is not good for anodizing. We are also open to other aluminum alloys and processes per your request. Contact us today to get the quote.
