A Condensed Resource on Die Cast Part Surface Finishing for OEM Design Engineers & Specifiers.This preliminary guide will help design engineers evaluate die cast surface finishing alternatives for product appearance, durability and protection to aid in cost-effective specification of parts produced in aluminum, magnesium and zinc—and ZA-8—die casting alloys. This guide includes an introduction to surface finishing for die cast parts, design guidelines for enhancing finishing results, surface finishing steps and coating alternatives, die cast finishing cost-performance comparison table, surface finishing requirements for nine typical die cast parts, comprehensive descriptions and sample library of coated die cast plates, and a summary listing of Chicago White Metal sales and engineering resources for designers and specifiers. This is a companion piece to the Chicago White Metal Comprehensive Surface Finishing Guide and Sample Portfolio, which contains detailed finishing recommendations and die cast plates in the most widely used alloys, with surface finishes applied. |
