FAQ Section: Common Questions on Aluminum Alloy Casting

Here are answers to some of the most common questions about aluminum alloy casting to help you make informed decisions:

• What are the differences between aluminum casting alloys? Alloys like A356, A380, and ADC12 differ in strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. For instance, A356 offers excellent mechanical properties for structural parts, while A380 is widely used for high-pressure die casting due to its good fluidity and surface finish.
• What is the typical minimum order quantity (MOQ)? MOQ varies depending on the casting process and tooling complexity. We offer flexible options from prototype batches to full-scale mass production.
• Do you offer heat treatment services? Yes, heat treatments like T6 tempering can be applied to improve hardness and tensile strength based on your part’s requirements.
• How long does tooling take for aluminum alloy casting? Tooling lead times depend on the casting method. For example, high-pressure die casting tooling may take 4–8 weeks, while sand casting tooling is quicker. Rapid prototyping options are available to speed up early-stage development.
• Can you handle precision aluminum casting with tight tolerances? Absolutely, we achieve dimensional tolerances as tight as ±0.02 mm using advanced inspection tools like coordinate measuring machines (CMM).
