Chemical composition inspection of raw materials
Raw materials are the core link that determines the quality of finished parts and are also the primary gateway for quality control. Each batch of aluminum ingots undergoes strict screening and inspection by our company to ensure that the source quality is compliant and reliable.
In response to the differentiated needs of different customers, we can customize the matching and provide corresponding raw material solutions. In the detection process, a spectrum analyzer is used to complete precise spectral analysis of the chemical composition of the material. After each batch of aluminum ingots passes the inspection, its complete quality inspection report will be archived and retained to achieve full quality traceability.
Our commonly used castable raw materials are: ZL102 A356 A319 ZL104 ZL111 AlSi10Mg, etc.
Of course, if you need to process other materials, you can provide the material standard grade or chemical composition list, and we can meet your requirements.

Chemical composition testing after aluminum alloy smelting can accurately control the content of main alloy elements and impurity elements in the melt to meet the standards, ensure core mechanical and process properties such as strength and corrosion resistance of castings, and avoid casting defects caused by composition deviations; the latter determines the purity and density of the melt, and eliminates defects from the source. Problems such as pores and porosity caused by hydrogen precipitation and slag inclusions can avoid the failure of the air tightness and pressure-bearing capacity of castings. The combination of the two forms double quality control in the melting process, laying a high-quality melt foundation for subsequent casting and molding, fundamentally reducing production defects of aluminum castings, and ensuring the basic quality of finished products. We are equipped with spectrum analyzers, hydrogen meters, and precision electronic scales for testing.
Mold control
Our mold design team will carry out customized mold design work based on the part drawings and 3D models provided by customers. From the overall structural planning, to the key positions of the mold opening and closing, the point settings of metal pouring and shrinkage, to the design of corresponding movable parts according to the product structure needs, every step has been carefully considered, and finally a mold plan that is most suitable for production is formed.
For those parts that require high dimensional accuracy, we will perform high-precision processing of the mold cavity during the mold making process to ensure that the processing accuracy is stably controlled at ±0.01mm. After the entire set of molds is completed, we will conduct trial production verification, and continue to optimize and adjust based on the actual molding conditions of the castings until we can stably produce qualified products that meet quality requirements.
Up to now, the company has accumulated more than 10,000 sets of various molds.
Internal flaw detection of castings
During production processes such as smelting, pouring and cooling, aluminum castings are prone to shrinkage cavities, porosity, pinholes, slag inclusions and other hidden defects due to fluctuations in ambient temperature, personnel operations and other factors. Such defects cannot be identified through appearance inspection, but may cause malfunctions or even safety accidents during operation.
Casting performance testing
We are equipped with professional performance testing equipment, including metallographic detectors, tensile testing machines, and Brinell hardness testers, to accurately analyze the internal structure and mechanical properties of raw materials. Before casting parts, we will cast test rods from each batch of molten metal and test their tensile strength, hardness and other mechanical parameters to ensure that the mechanical properties meet the requirements.
Blank appearance inspection
At the same time, the quality inspector will inspect the appearance of the blank to ensure that there are no obvious surface defects in the product appearance, such as pores and blisters; and whether there are demolding damage, bumps and scratches, and pouring and riser residue on the surface that will affect subsequent processing.
Processing size test
After the parts are processed, we will conduct dimensional inspection according to the dimensional tolerance requirements of different parts to ensure that the dimensions are 100% qualified. Our commonly used testing equipment includes: calipers, micrometers, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), etc.
Finished product air tightness testing
After the dimensions of the finished product are tested, air tightness testing is the key to verify that the castings have no leakage defects, ensuring the safety, performance stability and service life of the castings under pressure/sealing conditions. At the same time, the quality of production delivered to customers is controlled, and castings with leakage defects such as pinholes, shrinkage, cracks, etc. are screened in a timely manner.
Packaging and warehousing
Our clean and separate packaging areas ensure parts do not collide during packaging. Packaging can be customized. Our professional international shipping services ensure the safe delivery of goods to customers.
