ZeQube delivers precision metal die casting solutions for high-volume production of aluminum, zinc, and magnesium alloy components. Our tooling design and process control ensure consistent quality, tight tolerances, and excellent surface finishes for industrial, automotive, and consumer product applications.
Sub‑Process / Method | Alloys Used (Die‑Cast Alloys) | Part Weight & Wall Thickness | Tolerances / Surface Finish | Tooling / Mold Types & Life | Secondary Machining & Finishing |
High‑Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) | Aluminium alloys (ADC12, A380 etc.); Zinc alloys; Magnesium (where applicable) | Parts from ~10g up to ~5 kg; walls as thin as ~1 mm depending on alloy | Dimensional tolerances ±0.05‑0.1 mm; surface finish ~Sa 1.6‑3.2 µm (after polishing) | Steel molds (H13, P20), with slides, cores, ejectors; mold life up to ~500,000 shots | Trimming; CNC machining of critical faces; drilling/tapping; heat treatment; coatings |
Gravity / Semi‑Gravity / Low Pressure Casting | Same alloy types but sometimes special high conductivity or corrosion resistant grades | Larger castings; thicker sections; less complex thin‑wall features | Tolerances ±0.1‑0.2 mm; surface roughness slightly coarser without polishing | Molds/dies less stressed; simpler gating systems; longer fills | Similar secondary work; occasionally shot blasting or machining only on critical areas |
Operation | Purpose | Method / Tool |
Flash Removal / Trimming | Clean up casting gates & overflows | Hydraulic trim press, CNC trim die |
Shot Blasting / Vibratory | Surface finish, edge rounding | Steel grit or ceramic blasting |
CNC Machining | Tolerance features, threading | 3 & 4-axis CNC, rotary tables |
Heat Treatment (T6) | Increase mechanical performance | For specific aluminum alloys |
Leak Testing | Pressure integrity in fluid systems | Air decay or vacuum method |
Impregnation (on request) | Porosity sealing | Resin-based vacuum impregnation |
Surface Coating | Protection, conductivity, branding | Powder coating, anodizing, e-coat, chromate |
