Aluminum Die Casting Design Guidelines
Guideline
Description
Draft Angles
Include draft angles to facilitate part ejection from the mold.
Uniform Wall Thickness
Maintain consistent wall thickness for even solidification and reduced defects.
Fillets and Radii
Add fillets and radii to reduce stress concentrations and improve mold filling.
Ribs and Bosses
Reinforce thin sections with ribs, and add bosses for screw holes and inserts.
Undercuts
Minimize undercuts for easy part removal and simpler mold design.
Material Consideration
Select alloy based on mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and cost.
Surface Finish
Indicate desired surface finish for functional and aesthetic requirements.
Gating and Runners
Design proper gating and runner systems to ensure even metal flow and fill.
Ejector Pins
Place ejector pins strategically for smooth part ejection and minimal marks.
Parting Line Location
Choose parting line location for optimal part design and minimal tool complexity.
Avoid Sharp Corners
Round sharp corners to prevent stress concentrations and improve mold filling.
Tooling Consideration
Design for ease of mold creation and part removal, considering tooling constraints.
