The minimum tolerance requirements depend on the size of the product.

For dimensions up to 200mm, tolerances of ±0.1 or better are required.

For dimensions up to 300mm, tolerances of ±0.2 or better are necessary;

and for dimensions up to 500mm, tolerances of ±0.3 or better are expected.

As for draft angles, a minimum of 1 degree is required, but larger angles are preferred for smoother ejection from the mold.

These tolerance specifications are essential to ensure the precision and quality of die-cast products.

50,000 shots before replacement or refurbishment. If the old die-casting mold reaches the end of its service life, we can replicate a new mold for you free of charge.

Cold Chamber Die Casting: This method is suitable for materials with higher melting points like aluminum and magnesium. The metal is melted in a separate furnace and then injected into the cold chamber machine. It’s ideal for casting durable and lightweight parts but can be a bit slower due to the need for metal transfer.

Hot Chamber Die Casting: Designed for materials with lower melting points, such as zinc. In this process, the metal remains in a molten state within an integrated furnace connected to the machine. Hot chamber die casting is faster and more efficient for casting smaller, intricate parts, making it cost-effective for high-volume production.

Excessively from our customers on mold costs. Moreover, for customers with large order volumes, in the event that a mold becomes unusable, we offer the option of creating a new mold at no additional cost. Additionally, factors contributing to the pricing of molds include the strength and material selection in the mold design.

Sustainability is a key consideration in our operations. We prioritize sustainable practices by minimizing waste, recycling materials, and implementing energy-efficient processes. Here at damag, for the sake of material purity, our company utilizes a central melting furnace for the concentrated melting and refining of recycled materials before their reuse. We enforce strict control measures throughout the aluminum die casting process, including incoming raw material inspections, periodic testing of material composition every two hours, and regular third-party testing.

We hold several certifications that attest to our commitment to quality and adherence to industry standards. These certifications include ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and IATF 16949, which is specific to the automotive industry.

Thixomolding is a semi-solid metal injection molding process for magnesium alloys. Unlike traditional die casting—which uses fully molten metal—Thixomolding heats magnesium chips to a semi-solid “dough-like” state (typically 560–600°C) under inert gas protection, then injects the slurry into a mold. This results in laminar flow, reduced turbulence, lower porosity, and superior mechanical properties compared to liquid-state die casting.

Thixomolding offers excellent dimensional stability. Linear tolerances of ±0.001 inch per inch (±0.025 mm per 25 mm) are routinely achieved. For small-to-medium components (<200 mm), overall tolerances of ±0.05 mm or better are common—often eliminating secondary machining.

Thanks to the high fluidity of the semi-solid slurry and precise injection control, wall thicknesses as thin as 0.5 mm (0.020") can be reliably produced—ideal for lightweight, compact designs in electronics, automotive, and aerospace applications.

Minimal draft is needed. While 0.5° to 2° is typical for ease of ejection, zero draft is feasible in many cases due to low shrinkage and uniform solidification—enabling more design freedom and tighter packaging.

Key advantages include:

~50% lower porosity (often near-zero internal voids)

No surface sinks at wall junctions

Superior surface finish (as-molded Ra < 1.6 μm)

Higher mechanical consistency and fatigue resistance

Reduced need for post-casting processes like heat treatment or impregnation

Yes. The process uses inert gas shielding (e.g., SO₂-free mixtures or N₂-based atmospheres) instead of SF₆—a potent greenhouse gas traditionally used in magnesium melting. Additionally, magnesium scrap is fully recyclable, and energy consumption is lower due to reduced superheat.

Most Thixomolded parts require minimal finishing: simple deburring and, if needed, drilling or tapping. Complex machining is rarely necessary thanks to high net-shape accuracy. Coating (e.g., powder coat, anodizing, or plasma electrolytic oxidation) can be applied directly.

Ideal applications include:

Thin-walled structural housings (e.g., laptop chassis, camera frames)

EMI/RFI shielding enclosures

Automotive interior brackets, seat components, and transmission parts

Power tool housings requiring vibration damping and heat dissipation

Depending on part size and complexity, full cycle times range from 70 to 90 seconds, including injection (~0.03 s), dwell pressure, cooling, and ejection. This enables high-volume production comparable to plastic injection molding.

We employ comprehensive in-house inspection, including:

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) for GD&T validation

X-ray imaging for internal porosity assessment

Spectrometry for alloy composition verification

Leak testing (helium or air decay) for sealed components

Metallographic analysis and mechanical property testing
