Die casting is a metal forming process, and its biggest feature is fast forming speed and low processing cost, so it has a very wide range of applications in metal processing. The metal parts produced by the die-casting process are called "die-casting parts", and die-casting parts are widely used in machinery, automobiles, electrical appliances, etc. Aluminum alloy is a common die-casting material, but it must be noted that for different metal materials, the pre- and post-processing of die-casting is different. Some netizens reported that mold spots often appear in aluminum die castings. What is the reason? Today, Ruiguan Precision will answer this question for you:

The appearance of mildew is essentially caused by the chemical reaction between water vapor and the surface of the die casting. The following conditions will accelerate the occurrence of mildew:

1. The storage location has high humidity;

2. The surface of the die casting is relatively loose;

3. Excessive corrosion of die-casting cleaning agent;

4. The die-casting parts are not dried after the corresponding processes (such as cleaning, electroplating, etc.).
