Characteristics of hot-forged aluminum

  • Hot-forged aluminium offers better mechanical characteristics than die casting
  • Hot-forging crée un fibrage linéaire favorable (?)
  • Hot-forged Offers the advantage of excellent material health, good surface condition, no porosity, very good waterproofing
  • At equal volume, aluminum has 34% of the weight of the steel (density 2.7 for 7.85)
  • Aluminum is an excellent conductor of temperature, 1.8 times better than copper
  • Recycling aluminum is easy and economical, environmentally friendly

  • cache coffre store en fonderie aluminium

  • High pressure die casting consist in injecting, under high pressure, a molten alloy in a metallic mold that solidifies quickly to form a workpiece.
  • This transformation process allows to reproduce complex pieces with thin walls.
  • It's a fabrication process economic and fast for the production in large production of light alloy parts.
  • One of these main advantages is to have a high repeatability and a high tool life.

Characteristics of the aluminum used in high pressure die casting

  • At equal volume, aluminum has 34% by weight of steel
  • Aluminum is an excellent conductor of temperature, 1.8 times better than copper
  • Die-cast aluminum has good rigidity and good strength / weight ratio
  • It also offers the possibility of high working temperatures
  • Recycling aluminum is easy and economical, environmentally friendly
