How Much does Aluminum Die-Cast Cost?

By Cherry / June 8th, 2024

Aluminum die casting is a manufacturing process widely used in modern industrial production. 

It heats aluminum alloy to its melting point, then injects it into a mold, and solidifies it under high pressure to form the desired product. 

It is an efficient and precise processing method that is widely used in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, electronics, etc. However, for many companies and 

consumers, one of the most concerning issues is how much aluminum die-casting costs.

Usually, the price of aluminum die casting is affected by many factors, the main factors as below:

● Material cost: 

As the main raw material for aluminum die casting, the price of aluminum alloy directly affects the cost of the final product. The price of aluminum alloy is 

affected by many factors such as market supply, demand, international metal prices, etc.

●  Manufacturing process: 

Aluminum die casting involves mold design, heating, injection, cooling, and other links. Different manufacturing processes will have different degrees of impact

on the cost.

●  Product design: 

The design complexity, size, surface treatment requirements, etc. of the product will affect the price of aluminum die casting. Generally speaking, the price of 

products with more complex and precise designs will be relatively high.

●  Quantity requirements: 

Production batch is one of the important factors affecting the price. Generally speaking, the larger the production batch, the lower the unit product cost, because 

fixed costs can be spread through large-scale production.

● Market competition: 

The aluminum die-casting industry is highly competitive, and price competition between different manufacturers will also affect product prices. Manufacturers with 

higher prices in the market may provide higher quality products and better services.

Price range of aluminum die-casting

Depending on different combinations of the above factors, the price of aluminum die-casting products will vary. Generally speaking, the price range of aluminum die-

casting products can be divided into the following grades:

●  Low price: 

Some small manufacturers or low-cost production bases may provide relatively low-priced aluminum die-casting products. Such products are usually suitable for 

situations with low-cost requirements and small quantities.

●  Medium price: 

Most aluminum die-casting products are priced at a medium price. Such products are moderately priced and have relatively stable quality and service.

● High price: 

High-end manufacturers or professional custom manufacturers may provide higher-priced aluminum die-casting products. Such products usually have higher precision, 

more complex designs, and better after-sales service.

How to determine the price of aluminum die-casting?To determine the price of aluminum die-casting products, the following steps are recommended:

●  Clear demand: 

First, you need to clarify the specific requirements of the product, including size, material, surface treatment requirements, etc.

Find suppliers: Find multiple aluminum die-casting manufacturers through online searches, industry exhibitions, etc., and compare them.

●  Request quotations: 

Send product requirements to multiple manufacturers and request detailed quotations. Then the the quotation sheets can include all relevant costs, such as material 

costs, processing costs, transportation costs, etc.

● Comprehensive consideration: 

When comparing quotations from different manufacturers, you should not only look at the price but also consider factors such as the manufacturer's reputation, 

production capacity, and technical level.

Negotiation: After determining the right manufacturer, you can negotiate the price appropriately to achieve a more favorable price.

The specific gravity of zinc alloy is about 2.5 times that of aluminum alloy, and the price is similar, so the zinc material price is two or three times 

more expensive than that aluminum alloy. 

Now many companies want to use aluminum alloy to replace zinc alloy in order to save costs, but some cannot be they were replaced because the strength, hardness, 

and the forming performance of zinc alloy is much better than aluminum alloy.

Conclusion

The price of aluminum die-casting products is a complex issue and is changed by many factors. To determine a reasonable price, you need to fully consider 

factors such as product demand, market conditions, and manufacturer strength. I hope this article can help you to better understand the cost of aluminum die-

casting.
