Aluminium Die Casting

What is Aluminium Die Casting?

Aluminium Die Casting is a casting process whereby molten aluminium is injected at high pressure into a steel mould in order to achieve a specific net shape. Further secondary processes can be performed if necessary.

Die casting is widely used by many engineers and manufacturers due to the ability to create a wide number of high-strength, intricate parts at continuous high speed, reducing part cost.

Get It Made has excellent capability to produce Aluminium Die Cast parts. By having the ability to produce both complex steel moulds and the aluminium parts themselves, our prices remain extremely competitive and lead times can be reduced.

Feel free to get in touch for any questions on our die casting cost.

What finishes are available for Aluminium Die Casting?

As Cast

Surface roughness can be specified using Ra value. Ra1.6 - 0.8um as standard.

Vibro Finishing

Vibro finishing can remove burrs, and improve the die cast finish. Super polishing to Ra 0.05 um is possible.

Powder Coating

We can powder coat parts in a wide selection of colours, and mask areas that need it.

Polished

We can polish aluminium castings, but only external, easily accessible surfaces.
