PRESSURE DIE CASTING SERVICE

At HX Prototypes, we offer a complete range of pressure die casting services, including mold tool making, die casting and post-machining. We make pressure die cast mold tools for export and also create the highest quality die cast parts available in China, with economical prices that cannot be matched elsewhere. When you send us your 3D product design for a quote, our engineers will review your design to ensure it is optimized for manufacturing.

WHAT IS PRESSURE DIE CASTING?

Pressure die casting is an ideal method for making large quantities of metal parts with excellent surface finish and dimensional stability. We provide cast parts in aluminum, zinc and magnesium.

ADVANTAGES OF DIE CASTING

Die casting mold tools can be somewhat more expensive and difficult to make, but the price for each part produced is low, so it’s suited for larger production runs

Surface finish and dimensional stability are excellent

Complex geometries can be made that require little or no post-machining

It is great for medium to larger sized parts that would be slower and more expensive to machine

MATERIALS USED IN PRESSURE DIE CASTING

Mold Tools – Our mold tools are usually made from H13 tool steel with a Rockwell hardness of 42-48. Specialty steels are available upon request. Die Cast Parts – Using the correct material is critical to the success of your project. We use magnesium, aluminum or zinc to make the die cast parts. Your choice of materials will depend on cost, weight and engineering application. Our team of die casting experts can support you in choosing the right material.

Aluminum Die Casting:Ideal for strong, complex yet lightweight geometries. Alloys available are ADC12, A380, ADC10 and A413.

Zinc Die Casting: Mostly used for very ductile parts that may require plating. Alloys available are Zn 3# and Zn 5#.

Magnesium Die Casting: For lightweight parts that require a good strength-to-weight ratio. Alloy available is AZ91D

SURFACE FINISHING

Many finishing options are available for your pressure die casting project including sandblasting, polishing, plating, painting, E-coating, pad printing, silk screening, anodizing, machine finishing and much more. We can advise you on the best choices for your design.
