Precision Aluminum Casting Solutions Across Industries
Looking for aluminum die casting suppliers you can trust? General Die Casters has decades of experience serving a range of industries.
Heavy Truck
When you need strong, corrosion-resistant castings for the transportation industry, we’re here to help. We’re well-versed in pressure-tight castings like hubcaps and brake valves. We can also create high-integrity parts for air compressors and high-strength castings like axle housings and covers. We work with 360 and 413 alloys to provide products that are corrosion-resistant. We also have a deep network of outside suppliers that can provide e-coat, powder coat, wet paint, anodizing, and chromate for ultimate protection.
Lawn & Garden
For decades, we’ve been one of the most trusted aluminum die casting suppliers for the lawn & garden industry. Our team can produce items such as transaxles for lawn tractors, augers, and even engine cylinder heads and pistons. Many of these products experience high temperatures and stresses during combustion. We use unique alloys and processes to minimize wear. 390 alloy, for example, provides an excellent bearing surface for wear resistance and outstanding temperature stability. We use special melting and handling processes to ensure the primary silicon size and distribution are properly maintained. We also work with other alloys that offer great corrosion resistance.
Energy
From solar panels to oil rigs, we understand the demands of the energy sector. Castings for energy production are often lower volume and higher mix. We sell castings that can be made into dozens of variations with changes in machining or paint color. Have a complex request? We have over 20 CNC lathes and mills to perform the most complex and high-tolerance machining of intricate castings.
Building & Construction
Construction tools need strength, dimensional repeatability, and a cosmetic finish. With our design experience, technology, and process controls, we ensure your tooling meets these requirements.
Lighting
The lighting sector requires thin-walled castings with challenging geometries and a high surface finish for cosmetic appeal. We produce quality light housings and covers in many different styles. We even offer outdoor lighting fixtures with specialty alloys and finishing for optimal corrosion resistance.
Automotive
Control and consistency are of the utmost importance for the automotive industry. We pride ourselves on strong manufacturing systems that guarantee results. We produce everything from transmission components to rear differential housings for sports cars, and structural components like suspension top mounts.
Appliances & Home Goods
Consumer goods need cosmetic castings to meet customer expectations. We produce multiple parts for home goods with Class A polished aluminum finishes. This finish demands the highest casting quality possible; even the smallest visual defect is magnified after polishing. Tooling life in this industry can be short due to heat checks and erosion. With our design and engineering experience, we ensure metal speeds and die temperatures are within acceptable ranges to maximize your investment.
Recreational
From powersports to marine equipment, the recreational industry needs components that can hold up to extreme conditions. We create high-strength castings that fit seamlessly into your products. We also have access to a wide range of finishing options, so your equipment looks as good as it performs.
Electronics
The electronics industry demands thin walls and intricate geometries. Our team produces heat sinks with thin cooling fins and thin-wall enclosures. This requires tremendous upfront design. Using Magmasoft flow simulation, we fill the casting in less than 40 milliseconds without trapping air. We can use our vacuum assist for even the most complex applications.
Industrial
Industrial equipment needs castings that can perform reliably under heavy use, day after day. We produce strong components that meet these durability needs.
Medical
Aluminum die casting suppliers for the medical industry have to adhere to strict standards. At General Die Casters, we’re well-versed in creating castings for medical components like mobile equipment carts. We have a strong network of outside suppliers that can provide high-quality finishes in various colors.
