Die-cast metals are different from other casting metals.
Due to different processes and application scenarios, there are also requirements for the material of the metal. The common grades of die-cast metals in the industry are as follows:
ADC12: This is a commonly used aluminum alloy die-casting material, mainly used for general parts.
A356: Commonly used in automotive parts.
ADC10: Another commonly used aluminum alloy die-casting material, corresponding to A380.
These grades of aluminum alloys are mainly used in die-casting processes, with different chemical compositions and mechanical properties, suitable for different application scenarios. For example, ADC12 aluminum alloy is usually used to make general parts, while A356 aluminum alloy is often used for automotive parts. The grades and characteristics of these materials are as follows:
ADC12: The chemical composition includes elements such as silicon, copper, iron, and manganese. It has good fluidity and airtightness and is suitable for making die-cast parts of various complex shapes.
A356: The main components include silicon, copper, magnesium, etc., suitable for automotive parts, with good casting performance and mechanical properties.
ADC10: Similar in composition to ADC12, but with lower copper content, suitable for die castings that require higher fluidity.
Choosing the right die casting metal grade depends on the specific application requirements, including the end use of the product, air tightness and hardness requirements and more.
