Die casting technical information
Tolerance | 1/32 – 1/16 per ft |
---|---|
Part weight range | 0.01 – 22 lbs |
Minimum draft | 0.5-1.5 degree |
Wall thickness range | 0.040″ ~ 1.18″ |
Tooling construction | All molds are constructed from Premium H-13 or 30Cr tool steel and are heat treated to 50Rc or higher. Tooling is produced in-house, or out-sourced. |
Die casting die life | Above 50-100K cycles for Aluminum alloys and 300K cycles for zinc alloys |
Deburring | belt sanding, grinding machines, brush deburring, filing, sand blast, tumbling, vibration deburring, etc. |
Surface finishing | Right from Die casting: 3.2-1.6 um (125-63 u in); with polish 0.8 um (32 u in); with vibration grinding 1.6 um (63 u in) |
Normal lead time | Tooling and sample: 2 weeks – 3 weeks. Complicated parts take longer. |
Heat treatment | Heat treat up to T4 |
