Industries & References for Aluminium and Zinc Die Casting

In the automotive and motorcycle industry, reproducible quality, stable series processes, and high dimensional accuracy are decisive. Die-cast components are used here particularly where function, weight, complex geometries, and economical series production come together.

Typical requirements in automotive projects include tight tolerances, process reliability, traceability, defined surfaces, and dependable supply capability. Depending on the component, aluminium die casting or zinc die casting may be relevant for housings, brackets, covers, connecting elements, technical functional parts, or assemblies.

AMZ was certified in accordance with IATF 16949:2016 until 23 November 2023. The quality standards and process-oriented working methods introduced under this standard remain an integral part of our approach to quality. For more information, please see the Quality Assurance page.

The aerospace sector places especially high demands on process reliability, risk management, documentation, traceability, and supplier dependability. For die-cast components, this means: stable production processes, verifiable inspections, appropriate material certifications, and precise technical coordination in line with the customer specification.

In 2007, following an audit conducted by AIRBUS, AMZ was certified for the successful application of a comprehensive quality management system for suppliers to the aerospace industry in accordance with DIN EN 9100. This reference audit is a strong signal of trust for customers with high demands regarding quality, documentation, process discipline, and verification.

In information and communication technology, compact geometries, precise fits, reliable heat dissipation, and electromagnetic shielding are important requirements. Here, die casting can be used for technical housings, covers, carrier parts, connector components, heat sinks, or components with high dimensional accuracy.

AMZ supports such projects with material and process expertise in aluminium and zinc die casting, as well as with downstream machining and inspection processes. Depending on the customer specification, the focus may be on dimensional accuracy, surface quality, assembly capability, and reliable function within the overall technical system.

Electrical engineering and electronics place high demands on precision, dimensional fit, surface quality, heat dissipation, and electromagnetic shielding. In these areas, die-cast components can be used as housings, brackets, covers, heat sinks, connecting elements, shielding components, or technical functional parts.

Particularly relevant are defined surfaces, deburred edges, dimensionally accurate contours, and the ability to further machine or assemble components after casting. AMZ combines die casting production, post-processing, and quality assurance into a seamless process – including, depending on the customer specification, assembly- or function-critical components.

Medical and safety technology require components that are manufactured precisely, reliably, and in accordance with clearly defined specifications. The focus is often on dimensional accuracy, functional reliability, material and surface requirements, assembly capability, as well as documented inspection and verification processes.

Depending on the application, die-cast components in these areas can be used as housings, brackets, covers, carrier parts, connecting elements, or components for technical assemblies. AMZ manufactures such components and assemblies according to project-specific requirements. Which inspection and documentation steps are necessary is determined depending on the component, area of application, and customer specification.

In construction, metal goods, and other industrial applications, robust, dimensionally accurate, and economically producible die-cast components are also in demand. Depending on the project, aluminium and zinc die casting can be used for fittings, hinges, housings, brackets, connecting elements, covers, handles, or functional metal components.

Key considerations here are often assembly capability, defined surfaces, corrosion or surface protection, and reliable function in later use. AMZ supports customers in realising technical die-cast components – from coordinating the component requirements through production and machining to quality inspection.
