Tooling, casting, machining and finishing
ALUMINUM DIE CASTING
Aluminum die casting is a high-pressure manufacturing process used to produce lightweight metal components with complex geometry, consistent dimensions and excellent surface quality.
Molten aluminum is injected into a precision steel die under high pressure, allowing detailed features, thin walls, ribs and mounting structures to be formed in a single production cycle. The process is well suited to repeat production where dimensional stability and manufacturing efficiency are important.
A high strength-to-weight ratio makes aluminum suitable for structural and functional components.
Thin walls, ribs, bosses and detailed features can be integrated into one cast component.
Stable tooling and repeatable processes support consistent production across larger quantities.
HordRT supports your project from die design and casting through CNC machining, surface finishing and final inspection.
INTEGRATED CAPABILITIES
One manufacturing partner for die design, high-pressure casting, precision machining and surface finishing.
Tool design is developed around part geometry, alloy behavior, filling conditions, cooling and long-term production requirements.
Controlled casting parameters support repeatable filling, stable dimensions and consistent part quality across production batches.
Critical interfaces and functional features are machined after casting to achieve tighter tolerances and assembly requirements.
Secondary processing prepares aluminum castings for appearance, corrosion protection and final product integration.
Need help selecting the right alloy, tooling approach or finishing process?
Discuss Your Project →MATERIAL OPTIONS
The right aluminum alloy depends on the required strength, corrosion resistance, thermal performance, surface finish and operating environment of the final component.
Our engineers review your part requirements and recommend a suitable alloy before tooling and production begin.
Discuss Your Material Requirements →A widely used aluminum die casting alloy offering a practical balance of castability, strength, dimensional stability and cost.
Commonly selected for parts requiring reliable mold filling, detailed features and efficient high-volume production.
Suitable for components requiring strong corrosion performance, good pressure tightness and reliable mechanical properties.
Frequently considered for intricate castings and components where good filling behavior and pressure retention are important.
Alloy designations and equivalents may vary by regional standard. Final material selection should be confirmed against the component’s mechanical, thermal and environmental requirements.
OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Every project follows a controlled workflow that connects part engineering, tooling, casting and secondary operations—helping maintain consistent quality from the first trial to repeat production.
We review geometry, wall thickness, draft, ribs, bosses, machining areas and production requirements.
The die is engineered around filling, venting, cooling, ejection and the required production life.
Molten aluminum is injected into the steel die under controlled speed, pressure and temperature.
Runners, gates and overflow material are removed before the casting proceeds to secondary operations.
Critical surfaces, holes and threads are machined, followed by the specified cosmetic or protective finish.
Finished components are checked against drawing requirements before approved parts are packed for shipment.
SECONDARY OPERATIONS
Improve dimensional accuracy, appearance, corrosion resistance and assembly readiness through integrated secondary processing.
Precision milling, drilling, tapping and boring for critical interfaces, sealing areas and assembly features.
Dimensional AccuracyA durable colored coating used to improve appearance and provide additional protection for finished components.
Durable Color FinishFlexible color and appearance options for housings, covers and customer-facing components.
Custom AppearanceCreates a clean, uniform matte texture while reducing visible casting marks and preparing the surface for coating.
Uniform Matte TextureRemoves sharp edges and improves surface smoothness for handling, assembly and appearance requirements.
Smoother SurfaceChemical conversion treatments can support corrosion protection, electrical requirements and paint adhesion.
Corrosion ProtectionQUALITY CONTROL
Aluminum die casting quality depends on more than the final inspection. We monitor tooling, casting parameters, secondary machining and part condition throughout the manufacturing process.
Key casting parameters are monitored to support stable filling, solidification and repeatable production.
CMM and measurement equipment are used to verify critical dimensions, datums and machined features.
Castings are checked for surface defects, trimming condition, coating quality and cosmetic consistency.
Leak, fit and assembly checks can be completed when required by the component and application.
Inspection requirements are defined against your drawing, specifications and approved quality plan.
