What is Die Casting?
Die casting is an efficient process that can be used to manufacture fine, high-volume metal parts. The process uses specialized molds, known as die casting dies, designed to produce multiple parts simultaneously, ensuring efficiency and consistency. Commonly used for metals such as aluminum and zinc, die casting involves melting the metal and injecting it into these molds under high pressure.
The subsequent rapid cooling and solidification captures the intricate design and detail of the part, reducing the need for extensive secondary operations. While die casting eliminates all or most of the secondary operations required to manufacture metal parts; however, post-machining is common to meet tighter, function-critical tolerances. Die cast parts can also be post-processed to achieve any of the surface finishes that their respective CNC machined counterparts can achieve.
Advantages of Die Casting
Die casting services provide a number of advantages. These include:
- The capacity to design and create complex shapes with a high degree of accuracy and reliability.
- Cost savings through the bulk production of parts and components from a single design mold.
- Combining multiple components without the need for an assembly line.
- Reduction of scrap or waste.
- Faster production cycle times.
- Die casting allows for the mass production of complex parts and components in less time and at a lower cost.
Custom Die Casting Material Options
According to the manufacturing requirements of metal die castings, different materials are selected for die casting. Each material has different characteristics, so different materials can be selected according to the industry and usage scenarios of the parts.

As the machined or deburring
The machined or deburring finish is the standard finish where unwanted attach chips are removed with deburring tools, and sharp edges are chamfered to smooth the surface (3.2 μm).
Bead Blasted
Bead blasting produces a matte texture, removing all the marks of machining tools. It applies to ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, and Steel parts.
Anodizing
Anodizing involves adding an aluminum oxide coating to aluminum and its alloys. The layers, which come in various colors, increase strength and shield the surface from corrosion.
Powder coating
Powder coating is the electrostatically applying of dry powder to the surface. It produces a thin layer providing excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion.
Polishing
Physical rubbing of a metal surface to create a shiny surface is called a polishing surface finish. It increases the reflectivity and does not affect the dimensional stability of parts.
Brushing
Brushing is achieved by applying an abrasive brush to the metal surface, which produces a unidirectional satin finish. And it is not recommended for highly corrosive materials.
Smooth machining
Smooth machining is done by controlling the machining process, such as feed rate & cutting speed. It minimizes the tool marks and risk of corrosion.
Black-Oxide
Black oxide finish reduces surface reflectivity and offers mild corrosion protection. It involves adding a thin layer of magnetite to the surface.
Electro-less Nickel Plating
A thin layer of Nickel is created on the surface from a nickel-containing solution without electrolysis. Electro-less nickel plating provides a shiny appearance, excellent hardness, abrasive, wear, and corrosion-resistance to the substrate material.
Alodine
Provides excellent corrosion resistance property to the aluminum parts with greenish-gold color. It is the low-cost and quick surface finishing approach.
Electroplating
Electroplating increases the hardness of the steel &aluminum parts. It offers excellent corrosion, wears, and abrasion resistance.
Nickel plating
Make the parts super resistive to corrosion. It enhances mechanical strength, hardness, wear resistance, lubricity, and ductility. Nickel plating is applicable in different materials, including Steel, aluminum, copper, and brass.
Passivation
Enhance the appearance and functionality of the parts. After Passivation, parts of Steel and its alloys become super resistive from corrosion.
Yellow Chromate conversion coating
A shiny appearance with goldish color provides excellent corrosion resistance. It is applied on the surface of aluminum, magnesium, and their alloys. A layer of chromate also enhances the conductivity of parts
PTFE (Teflon) Coating
The Teflon layer on the parts offers excellent corrosion resistance, water resistance, and non-stickiness with a non-reactive surface.
Fine machining
The higher-precision machines produce delicate machining surfaces by utilizing sharper tools and regulating feed rate and cutting speed. Surface roughness up to Ra 0.8 μm can be maintained with smooth machining.
Laser Cladding
Provides excellent corrosion, wear, and abrasion resistance. Laser Cladding is also effective for treating minor surface imperfections such as cavities, tiny cracks, and rust damage.

Is die casting right for your product?
The die casting process is the fastest option available for producing exact, non-ferrous metal products. Because this method utilizes reusable molds, it offers high-speed production of parts and has the flexibility to create a wider range of shapes and sizes than other casting methods.
Die casting can be completely automated, and its reusable molds also make it an affordable option. This technique is used to manufacture commercial, consumer, and industrial products. Die casting is ideal for medium-sized parts with more complex structures.
Alternatives to Die Casting
Elimold offers an alternative to die casting: injection molding. The injection molding process is similar to magnesium die casting, except that it uses thermoplastics instead of molten metal. Similar to die casting, during injection molding, the material is melted, pressed into a mold, and the pressure is maintained until the part is formed. Once the part has cooled sufficiently, it is ejected from the mold. Injection molding can produce parts with extremely tight tolerances (+0.004 inches). Like die casting, injection molding is an ideal method for producing large quantities of parts in a short period of time.
