Heat Treating - diecastingschina

Heat treating is used as a secondary die casting process, after the initial casting phase. This process is used to improve the mechanical and physical properties of an aluminum die casting. This process consists of the heating and cooling of a die casting, which does not change or affect the shape of a casting. This will greatly improve the die cast part’s strength, hardness and electrical conductivity. In addition, Heat Treating also improves the finish machining of a aluminum castings.

There are several steps during the aluminum heat treatment process:

Preheating / Homogenizing – The first thermal operation applied to aluminum ingots prior to hot working. The main objective of preheating is greatly improved workability. Homogenizing allows for the reduction or elimination of chemical segregation and dendritic structures within a die cast part.

Annealing – This heat treating operation will remove stresses or soften the material for improved machining response, change physical or mechanical properties and can produce a defined structure.

Hardening / Quenching – Hardening through water-quench, oil-quench, forced-air quench or still-air quench will result with improved mechanical properties, toughness and hardness of the aluminum alloy structure.

In conclusion, our combination of first class heat treating equipment and personnel provide effective heat treatment services. Die Castings China has the capability to provide many different types of treatment options for our customers.

Die Casting Services in China

Die casting is used to produce zinc and aluminum parts, by injecting molten material – under high pressure – into reusable steel molds (also known as dies). They can be designed to produce very complicated parts with pin point accuracy.

Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum die casting has been a specialty of Die Castings USA since 1995.

Our aluminum die cast services have assisted OEMs all over the world with producing parts at lower costs with unrivaled consistency, professionalism and delivery.

Zinc Alloy

Our goal is to deliver your cast product exactly to print specifications.

Zinc can be cast to precision tolerances, have thinner wall sections, complex shapes and much longer tool life. Die Castings China has the capacity to produce die cast parts with a wide variety of in-house plated and/or painted finishes.

Machining & Secondary

Machining services are one of the core advantages in our China facility.

OEM customers are regularly seeking a complete (all-in-one-house) supplier for their custom products. Die Castings USA serves this customer need by providing an fine tuned list of secondary services.

Deburring Services

All of the zinc or aluminum die castings we manufacture are completely free of all burs.

Our precision deburring services are the best choice to remove any burs on a die cast part. All of the zinc or aluminum die castings we manufacture are completely free of all burs. This deburring service will operate in the same fashion, regardless of zinc or aluminum material types.

Heat Treating

This process is used to improve the mechanical and physical properties of an aluminum die casting. This process consists of the heating and cooling of a die casting, which does not change or affect the shape of a casting.

Sand & Shot Blasting

Shot blasting is post-production finishing service that is processed through rapid impacting of part’s surface.

This results in a faster and more efficient process when compared to filing for flash removal that remained on die cast component after the zinc or aluminum die casting process. By using very specific types , Die Castings China can shot blast parts of all sizes and shapes.
