What is Aluminium Alloy Casting?
Aluminium casting is a process method to melt aluminium, pour it into a mould, and form the required shape of aluminium parts by cooling. The aluminium used for casting is called casting aluminium alloy.
It is a process method in which pure aluminium or aluminium alloy ingots are prepared according to the standard composition ratio, then turned into aluminium alloy liquid or a molten state by artificial heating, and then poured into the cavity by a professional mould or corresponding process and formed into the required shape of aluminium parts by cooling.
Advantages of Aluminium Alloy Casting
Lightweight with High Strength
Aluminium alloy castings offer an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications where reducing weight without compromising strength is critical, such as automotive and aerospace.
Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance
With natural oxide layers and alloying elements, aluminium castings provide outstanding resistance to rust, oxidation, and environmental exposure, extending component life in demanding conditions.
Excellent Thermal & Electrical Conductivity
Aluminium alloys deliver superior heat dissipation and electrical conductivity, making them well-suited for applications in energy, electronics, and automotive cooling systems.
Versatility in Applications
Aluminium alloy castings can be tailored for a wide range of industries — from automotive, aerospace, and construction to electronics and industrial equipment — providing both design flexibility and cost efficiency.
