Die Casting Materials
Aluminum
Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal conductivity. It is widely used in electrical housings, heat sinks, enclosures, and structural components. Aluminum is easy to machine, weld, and extrude, making it ideal for applications in electronics, transportation, and industrial equipment where durability and efficiency are essential.
