Hot Chamber vs. Cold Chamber: The Physics Behind Your Unit Cost

Why is Zinc cast in a “Hot Chamber” and Aluminum in a “Cold Chamber”? We explain how melting points dictate the manufacturing process, cycle times, and why Zinc tooling can outlast Aluminum by an order of magnitude. When you send an RFQ to Sureton, you might notice a subtle detail in our quotation.For your Zinc (Zamak) parts, we […]

Magnesium vs. Aluminum Die Casting: Is the 33% Weight Savings Worth the Cost?

We compare AZ91D vs. ADC12 across strength, corrosion, manufacturability, and total cost to guide your material selection. In the engineering world, “Lightweighting” is the holy grail.Whether you are designing a handheld gimbal that needs to be held for hours, or a drone where every gram equals 10 seconds of flight time, you eventually hit a

the adc12 flow is silvery and exceptionally fluid, smoothly filling a complex, thin walled heat sink mold. the a380 flow is slightly more viscous but robust.

ADC12 vs. A380: A Manufacturing Engineer’s Guide to Alloy Selection

Confused between ADC12 and A380 for your die casting project? We break down the mechanical properties, cost implications, and why choosing the right alloy matters for manufacturing in China. If you are sourcing aluminum die casting from China, you have likely encountered a common scenario: Your engineering drawing specifies A380 (the American standard), but the factory suggests switching to ADC12 (the
