Aluminum Die Casting Machine Market

Growing demand for aluminum die-casting in automotive industry and technological advancements in aluminum die-casting augmenting die casting machine market.

The use of aluminum in the manufacture of automobiles has experienced tremendous expansion over the last few decades, and this trend will likely continue in the years to come. Aluminum is lighter than steel and has a density that is only one-third that of steel. The weight of a car is reduced by about one kilogram for every kilogram of aluminum utilized in the vehicle. It also has high flexibility, corrosion resistance, and malleability. Automobiles made with aluminum offer improved braking, acceleration, and handling.

The improvement in fuel efficiency is the main advantage of employing aluminum in the manufacture of automobiles. Aluminum-made vehicles provide safety advantages by requiring less time to stop, considerably reducing the risk of potential crashes. Additionally, it provides substantial environmental advantages because about 90% of vehicle aluminum scrap can be recycled and recovered. These developments will support the usage of aluminum in the production of automobiles.

Currently, oxygen-filled die casting can be used to create a variety of castings made of aluminum alloy, including computer brackets, heat exchanger housings, hydraulic transmission valve bodies, and housing for hydraulic transmissions for die castings that need heat treatment or bursting, high air tightness, and use at higher temperatures, oxygenated die casting has technical and financial advantages. In the semi-solid die casting process, a liquid metal is solidified while still being cooled, resulting in a slurry that contains at least 50% solid phase material, which is subsequently created by die casting.

There are currently two procedures for semi-solid die casting: flow forming and thixoforming. The former involves feeding the liquid metal into an injection moulding barrel that has been specially built. The barrel is then sheared by a screw mechanism, cooled into a semi-solid slurry, and finally die cast. In order to die-cast semi-solid metal particles under heating and shearing conditions, the latter involves feeding solid metal particles or chips into a screw injection moulding machine.
