One of our favourite processes here at CastAlum is our shotblasting capability. This is a process we’ve continued to invest in over the years, including the addition of a new machine from Rosler in 2022.

Pressure testing, or leak testing as it is also known, is an excellent way to verify the integrity of a die cast and machined component. Here at CastAlum we have integrated pressure testing within our machining centre for every part we produce.

There are particular challenges related to the mass production of complex die cast and machined components. We have been finding solutions to these challenges since our machining centre was first implemented here in Welshpool, UK, back in 2009

High pressure die casting and squeeze die casting are two well established processes for producing high quality aluminium components. However, what separates these two processes and makes certain products a better fit for each one?

Casting as a process has been around for over 7,000 years. History tells us that ancient civilisations used moulds to produce all manner of tools, weapons, and other objects.

Die casting inserts are a useful way to achieve product features that would otherwise be technically unfeasible. Over the years, we have successfully utilised inserts for a variety of products in the automotive sector. In addition, our investment in multiple aspects of the foundry, from toolmaking to machining, has enabled us to better develop and hone this capability to its full potential.

Dave joined CastAlum over a year ago with no previous experience in the die casting industry. Here’s what he has to say about his time working for CastAlum so far.
CastAlum is an internationally acclaimed aluminium Diecaster, located in Mid Wales.
This month in our interview series: Machining Manager Richard Jones talks through his career progression in our die casting foundry and machine shop.
In die casting, managing heat effectively is a crucial part of the production process. An often-overlooked part of our fully automated cell is the quench tank. Quench tanks are used immediately after a component has been cast. Our extract robots take the part from the die, and then cool them in a quench tank, before taking them over to the trimming tool.
