1. Detailed Explanation of the Application of Aluminum Die-Casting Parts in the Automotive, Energy Storage, and Camera Industries
Aluminum die-casting parts play an important role in many industrial fields due to their lightweight, high strength, excellent heat dissipation performance, and high-precision molding capabilities. Especially in the fields of automotive manufacturing, energy storage equipment, and high-end cameras, aluminum die-casting has become one of the irreplaceable core manufacturing methods.
The following introduces three typical application scenarios:
(1) Automotive Aluminum Die-Casting Parts
Automotive aluminum die-casting parts are widely used in engine systems, gearbox housings, suspension systems, electric vehicle motor housings, controller housings, etc., and are an important foundation for achieving lightweighting and energy conservation and emission reduction in automobiles.
Main functions include:
Lightweighting: Aluminum has a density only one-third that of steel, which can significantly reduce the weight of the entire vehicle, improve range and fuel economy.
High structural strength: High-pressure die-cast aluminum parts can withstand complex stress environments and are suitable for safety components. Excellent heat dissipation efficiency: Beneficial for the long-term stable operation of core components in new energy vehicles such as motors and inverters.
Complex structures formed in one piece: Reduces processing steps, improves production efficiency, and lowers costs.
(2) Energy Storage Aluminum Die-castings
Aluminum die-castings also play a crucial role in energy storage equipment (such as outdoor energy storage power supplies, home energy storage systems, and industrial energy storage cabinets), primarily used for battery module housings, inverter housings, brackets, and power supply housings.
The core requirements of the energy storage industry for die-cast aluminum parts include:
Good heat dissipation performance: Energy storage equipment generates a large amount of heat during long-term operation. High-heat-dissipation aluminum die-cast housings can effectively improve system stability and reduce failures.
High strength and protection: Die-cast aluminum housings provide sufficient mechanical strength to protect internal batteries and electronic components from external impacts and vibrations.
Strong corrosion resistance: Aluminum alloys are naturally oxidation-resistant, suitable for complex environments such as outdoor, coastal, and humid environments.
Flexible structural customization: Internal wiring channels, mounting columns, heat dissipation fins, and other structures can be integrally formed, improving product compactness and reliability.
(3) Aluminum Die-Casting Parts for Cameras
Aluminum die-casting parts are widely used in SLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, action cameras, industrial cameras, and other equipment for camera body shells, lens structural components, bracket parts, and internal precision frames.
Their main advantages are:
Superior Rigidity and Stability: Ensures the stable positioning of precision structures such as lenses and sensors, reducing the impact of vibration on image quality.
Lightweight and Portable: Lighter than materials such as stainless steel, suitable for outdoor photography and handheld applications.
Strong Precision Forming Capability: Complex structures can be formed in one piece, improving assembly accuracy and enhancing the overall durability of the camera.
Excellent Surface Finishing Performance: Can be easily processed with sandblasting, oxidation, and wire drawing to achieve a high-end appearance.
Aluminum die-casting technology has become an important technological foundation for the manufacture of high-quality camera equipment.
