Metal Die Casting Services

Aluminum and Zinc Alloy Die Casting Services

Support for custom die cast metal parts, from drawing review and tooling planning to aluminum die casting, zinc die casting, CNC machining, surface finishing, inspection and export packing.

Service Overview

What Buyers Usually Call This Service

In the United States and Europe, aluminum alloy and zinc alloy metal part production is usually described as aluminum die casting, zinc die casting, custom die casting, pressure die casting or high pressure die casting. These terms are more natural than a direct translation such as alloy manufacturing.

We review 2D drawings, 3D files, material requirements, tolerance targets, surface finish, assembly fit and annual volume before recommending the practical manufacturing route.

Small zinc alloy die cast components arranged in metal trays

Zinc Alloy Die Casting

For smaller precision parts, connector shells, latch parts, decorative components and hardware with detailed features.

CNC machining and dimensional inspection for die cast aluminum and zinc alloy parts

CNC Machining and Finishing

Secondary machining, drilling, tapping, deburring, polishing, coating, plating and dimensional inspection before packing.

Process

Typical Die Casting Project Workflow

A clear review process helps reduce risks around tooling, shrinkage, porosity, machining allowance, surface finish and assembly fit.

1Drawing Review

We check 2D drawings, 3D files, material, tolerance, appearance and annual quantity.

2DFM Feedback

Wall thickness, draft, ribs, holes, bosses, machining allowance and parting line are reviewed.

3Tooling Plan

Tool steel, cavity layout, gate, runner, cooling and ejection requirements are discussed.

4Die Casting

Aluminum or zinc alloy is cast according to the confirmed tool and production plan.

5Trimming

Flash, gates and runners are removed before machining or surface treatment.

6CNC Machining

Critical holes, threads, flatness, sealing faces or bearing positions are machined as required.

7Surface Finishing

Options may include polishing, sand blasting, powder coating, painting, plating or anodizing.

8Inspection and Packing

Dimensions, appearance, thread quality and packing protection are checked before shipment.

  • Surface finish such as powder coating, plating, painting or anodizing
  • Porosity, leakage, cosmetic area and assembly risk
  • Sample approval, inspection standard and export packing
FAQ

Aluminum and Zinc Die Casting FAQ

What should I send for a die casting quotation?

Please send 3D files, 2D drawings, material grade, annual quantity, surface finish, tolerance requirements and any critical assembly information.

What is the difference between aluminum die casting and zinc die casting?

Aluminum die casting is often used for larger lightweight structural parts and housings. Zinc die casting is commonly used for smaller precision parts with detailed features and good surface finish.

Can die cast parts be CNC machined?

Yes. Critical holes, threads, sealing faces, flatness areas and assembly features are often machined after casting.

Can you support both plastic and metal parts for one project?

Yes. If your project includes plastic injection molded parts, molds, CNC machined parts or die cast metal components, we can review the drawings together and help organize the manufacturing route.

Quotation

Send Die Casting Project Details

Please include drawings, material grade, tolerance, finish, estimated annual quantity and application details. We will review whether die casting, CNC machining or another process is more suitable.
