Die Casting Mold Making.

LK provides you with complete die casting processing services, including mold manufacturing, die casting molding and surface treatment services.

What is die casting?

Die-casting is suitable for the production of large volume of metal products. The surface finish of the products is good with high dimensional stability. The material for die casting can be selected from aluminum alloy, zinc alloy or magnesium alloy.

Advantages of Die Casting:

•Economical manufacturing process;
•High speed production process;
•High precision, accuracy and dimensional stability;
•Different and Simple finishing techniques;
•Simple assembly process;
•Suitable for medium and large size products with high cost;

Surface finishing

LK provides various Surface-treatment processes suitable for different products, including sand blasting, polishing, painting, powder coating, electrophoresis, pad printing, screen printing, anodizing, and mechanical processing. Our team will propose the most reasonable Suggest to you.

FAQ:

How Are Die Castings Produced?？

It is the Process of injecting molten metal into custom made steel dies, it can be simple or complex, having moveable slides, cores, or other sections depending on the complexity of the casting.

What are your commonly used materials for die casting products？

Aluminum alloy die-casting: suitable for products with high strength, complex structure and light weight
Zinc alloy die casting: mostly used for parts with high ductility and need electroplating.
Magnesium alloy die casting: used for lightweight parts with high strength-to-weight ratio.

What are your commonly used materials for die casting molds ?

Our mold tools are usually made from H13 tool steel with a Rockwell hardness of 42-48,Specialty steels are available upon request.

What industries can die castings be applied to？

•Connectors
•Marine Parts
•Aerospace Parts
•Automotive
•Power Tools
•Consumer Electronics
•Computing
•Networking and Telecommunication
•Handheld Devices

I don't have experience desiging parts for die casting, and want to bring existing machined parts to die casting. What should I know？

•Even wall thickness.
•Rounding of all edges and corners.
•Smooth blending and continuity of all the features.
We will provide additional design modification suggestions to make sure your parts are casted successfully.

We are new to the die casting process, where should we start？

You can start by providing the part's 2D and 3D drawings to us. We can provide Design For Manufacture (DFM) service for you.

How do customers specifiy the color we need painted on the die casted parts？

You can specify your color by using RAL or Pantone color codes. If you don’t have the color code, you can send us a color chip or a color sample for us to come up with a matching color chip.

What information do you need in order to provide an accurate quote? How soon can I get a quote？

Please provide us with the part's 3D CAD drawings (such as IGES, STEP, or X_T). We can also quote based on 2D drawings (in DWG, DXF, or even PDF format [but with weight information]). We can also import CAD files directly from popular CAD software, such as Pro/ENGINEER, UGS, Catia, and Solid Edge. In addition, we need the production information listed in our request for quote form. Quoting turnaround is typically within a week, and can be even sooner if there is special timing constraint.
