Aluminum is a lightweight alloy that is able to withstand impressive temperatures of all other die casting metals.

• High operating temperatures
• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Very good strength and hardness
• Good stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio
• Excellent EMI and RFI shielding properties
• Excellent thermal conductivity
• High electrical conductivity
• Good finishing characteristics
• Full recyclability

Magnesium is the lightest structural metal to be used in casting with a median casting tolerance. Compared to many other alloys, magnesium is also one of the purest alloys.

• Particularly stiff and strong
• High level of electrical and thermal conductivity
• Able to withstand high temperatures
• Capable of producing thin walls in casting
• Exceptional resistance to corrosion and rust
• Recyclable

Zinc is also one of the highest thin-wall capable alloys on the market. It's consistent geometry and durability makes it a candidate for rapid production and manufacturing at a low cost.

• Strong alloy with high hardness
• Electrical and thermal conductivity
• Superb resistance to corrosion
• Fully recyclable waste
• High dimensional accuracy and stability
• Ability to cold form and heat form
