Aluminum casting parts gallery
Squeeze-cast and die-cast parts from our plant in Qingdao, each with the alloy, condition and the result published for it. Find a part close to yours, then send the drawing.
Parts we have published, with material and condition
Each part below is one we cast. The material and condition are as published; the outcome column on the case pages states what was measured on the original project, not a forecast for your part.
Pump part
X-ray verified; leak tested to at least 140 PSI under agreed test conditions. Pump and valve castings
Enclosure
Presented faces free of visible porosity, pits, dents and scratches, for a sealing requirement. Sealed enclosure castings
Trailer bracket
Replaced a sand casting; weldable. Automotive structural castings
Trailer beam
Structural beam produced as one casting, replacing a steel original. Conversions
Electric scooter folding part
Cast closer to finished geometry to reduce machining. Billet to casting
Tent folding part
Replaced a high-pressure die casting. HPDC to squeeze
Boat part
Replaced a high-pressure die casting. HPDC to squeeze
Die cast housings
Housings, covers and brackets in the ADC, A3xx and AlSi grades. Leak-tested die castings
Finished castings
Finishing in-house, with sealing faces and threads masked. Finish specification
Part families by requirement
| Family | What decides acceptance | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Pump and valve bodies | Medium, test pressure, leak rate, impregnation policy | Pump and valve castings |
| Sealed enclosures | Leak rate on the casting, gasket lands, finish masking | Sealed enclosure castings |
| Motor housings | Bearing-seat alignment, cooling-passage leak test | Motor housing castings |
| Structural parts | Load case, properties by section, welding, PPAP level | Automotive structural castings |
| Die cast housings | Leak criterion at volume, X-ray zones, machined faces | Leak-tested die castings |

Questions about the parts
- Which alloys are the parts in the gallery cast in?
- The squeeze-cast structural parts are A356.2-T6. The pump part is A380 as-cast and the enclosure A356 as-cast. Die cast housings are in the ADC, A3xx and AlSi grades.
- Can you make a part similar to one shown?
- Send the drawing and the requirement it has to pass. Similar geometry does not mean the same route; the drawing review decides between die casting and squeeze casting.
- Are the results shown guaranteed for my part?
- No. Each result was measured on that project under its agreed conditions. Your part is reviewed against your drawing and acceptance criteria.

What happens next
- Howard Ding confirms receipt and asks for anything missing from the package.
- Engineering reviews geometry, alloy and acceptance criteria and proposes a route: squeeze casting, die casting, or a reason neither fits.
- You receive the quotation with tooling, samples and validation listed separately from the part price.
