What is Aluminum Alloy Casting?
What is Aluminum Casting? | Precision Manufacturing & Process Overview
Aluminum casting is a high-efficiency manufacturing process that involves melting aluminum alloys and pouring the molten metal into a precision-engineered mold. Once cooled, the metal solidifies into a specific, high-strength component. The materials used in this process are specifically categorized as casting aluminum alloys, known for their excellent fluidity and thermal properties.
