Get to Know about the Furniture Die Casting

One of the most quickest and economical forming processes is Die casting. Relatively quickly, hundreds of thousands of castings can be produced by using just one mold, which are the benefits of this production process. All components involve relatively low unit costs and produced have a uniform quality.

Procedures and Functionality

There are two various ways of manufacturing components in die casting: cold chamber and hot chamber die casting. With a release agent, the mold is sprayed in both manufacturing processes prior to the casting process to ensure that the subsequent furniture die casting part can be easily removed from the mold.

However, into the mold cavity, the melt is not poured directly but in the die casting machine is first filled into the casting chamber. Through one or more channels, the alloy is pressed into the mold by a piston from there.

Furniture parts

Supplying the furniture industry with aluminum parts, like the cross feet for office chairs is involved in a large part of our production. Many advantages are offered by Die-cast aluminum: precision, the ability to install different functions into a part, and the absence of joints. In various colors, the material can also easily be powder-coated.

To achieve exactly the finish that aesthetics require many are proudest of their ability, using manual polishing and sophisticated mechanical methods. This skill can be offered by a few others. No wonder for years, the design world has requested our parts!

Zinc die castings have excellent ductility, hardness, tensile properties, and thermal and electrical conductivity, etc. Zamak 3 has 10 times the impact strength of the standard aluminum alloy and Al380is approximately 40% stronger (Room temp yield strength).

As compared to 60% stronger and Al380 or Al390, EZAC is approximately 150% stronger (Room temp yield strength), the aluminum industry highest strength alloy.

Combined with the die casting process, Due to the inherent properties of zinc alloys, zinc dies casting components are cost-competitive when designing complex shapes and high volume. 

To be very cost-competitive, we have found our new high strength HF alloys and EZAC compared to other established manufacturing processes including the powder metal, machining and stamping processes such as the MIM process

Industry parts

With a flexural strength and high yield point, Aluminum is a light material that is well-suited for casting. It has high conductivity and is also corrosion-resistant and easily machined. In a single step, it is possible to integrate many functions and this is the beauty of the pressure lighting die casting part.

Many times instead of welding, pressing, or forging it, it is smarter to die cast apart. Advantages include simple to recycle, lower prices, and higher quality. Repeatability is very high and good measurement accuracy is offered by Die casting.

Last but not least is the aluminum used is 97% recycled and has many environmental advantages.
