Information on Chinese Die casting facilities

There is no shortage of die casting companies in China or in the Pearl River delta (PRD). The PRD is the backbone of Chinese industrial manufacturing within the province of Guangdong and 34% of all Chinese exports originate in this province. And the annual exports just grow and grow. Because of this the demand for die casting is forever increasing.

Typically, most Chinese die casting companies can handle one off precision die cast parts to large volume die casting for products ranging from automobiles to toys. Parts can be as simple as a sink faucet or as complex as a connector housing.

Facilities are highly automated, using a number of sophisticated methods to automate the die casting process and provide continuous quality control. Automated systems are used to lubricate dies, ladle metal into cold chamber machines and integrate other functions, such as quenching and trimming castings. Microprocessors obtain metal velocity, shot rod position, hydraulic pressure and other data that is used to adjust the die casting machine process, assuring consistent castings shot after shot. These process control systems also collect machine performance data for statistical analysis in quality control.

The facilities are suitable for high volume runs, fast production rates, and their capital outlay is cheaper than their western counterparts.

Quality is of paramount importance, in many cases a Part Control Plan is generated for each part manufactured identifying all key product characteristics and defining the methods for their control. A Process Flowchart is generated and defines the manufacturing process as well as the interaction and controls throughout the product realization. A Process Failure Mode & Effects Analysis is performed to assure the prevention of defectives through the manufacturing process, a Full Metrology Review of the key parameters is performed and methods established to assure design intent is met and a Full Dimensional Layout is performed to verify mold design and part print compliance in the pre-production phase.

Facilities, in some Chinese factories, will also use a Spectrometer for Spectrographic Analysis of Alloy, Coordinate Measurement Machines for full dimensional layout, software for real-time monitoring and SPC analysis of key process parameters and standard calibrated instruments used throughout industry to verify key product characteristics.

However, many of these die casting companies and services are not immediately available to foreign buyers, because of language or export license reasons, and it has taken Chinasavvy several years to source and audit these die casting companies.

If you are looking to import die cast products from China you need a local company like Chinasavvy to locate the right Chinese company for your products and goods. Once we have sourced this we will handle everything including quality control and shipping.
