THE BENEFITS OF DIECASTING
Strength and rigidity
Diecastings have a strength and rigidity unobtainable in
all but the most expensive engineering plastics. Thin
sections remain dimensionally stable with the minimum
of reinforcement; thick sections do not exhibit sink marks.
Quality and surface finish
Diecastings can provide the ideal combination of fine and
complex detail with good surface finish, suitable for
plating, painting or fine powder coating.
Cost effective
Diecasting provides a highly efficient component
production method giving excellent cost/performance
effectiveness for components – at both long and short
production runs. |

The ability to mould to close tolerances (± 0.05mm, ±
0.002in), with complex features and thin sections
(1.5mm min.), with a good surface finish, can
substantially reduce time-costly machining and quality
control operations, minimise wastage.
Compared with forging, diecasting provides higher
production rates, with less finishing.
Compared with plastics moulding, diecasting provides
greater rigidity, strength, dimensional stability, no
moisture uptake and high temperature resistance. |

How do the benefits listed here apply to the needs of your components? It may be that your components would be better injection moulded in one of the wide range of engineering plastics and fillings (glass, carbon and steel fibres). Mays Pressure Diecastings is able to supply totally unbiased recommendations since a sister company within the PC Cox Group is a major supplier of injection mouldings. |

Fine surface finish, without voids, is ideal for powder
coating, painting or chrome plating to excellent quality.
Diecasting is a production method with a short cycle time,
excellent repeatability and batch-to-batch consistency. |
