A380 Aluminum Die Casting

Introduction

A380 Aluminum Die Casting is the cornerstone of HENTACH's metal component manufacturing, providing the high-quality, lightweight, and complex structural parts essential for modern DC motor assemblies and drive systems. A380 is a highly versatile and widely used aluminum alloy in the die casting industry, prized for its excellent balance of mechanical strength, fluidity, heat resistance, and cost-effectiveness. For over three decades, HENTACH (formerly Hengtai Motor) has utilized this alloy in its vertically integrated manufacturing process, allowing us to produce the robust, rigid, and thermally optimized enclosures that protect and enhance our motors. This in-house casting capability is a significant competitive advantage, ensuring complete control over material quality, dimensional consistency, and the rapid prototyping of complex geometries.

For B2B buyers—including electric vehicle manufacturers, industrial machinery builders, and power tool companies—the critical advantages of A380 die casting lie in its superior heat dissipation, structural rigidity, and economical production scale. Heat Dissipation is a core motor requirement; A380's high thermal conductivity allows us to design motor housings and heat sinks with optimized cooling fins that quickly draw heat away from the motor's core, preserving the integrity of the magnets and windings. Structural Rigidity is necessary to hold the motor's internal components (bearings, shafts, stators) in precise alignment, especially under load and vibration. Our high-pressure die casting process, executed on our 500-ton machines, produces motor housings with minimal porosity and exceptional dimensional stability. Economical Production Scale is key to high-volume applications; A380's excellent flow characteristics allow us to rapidly cast complex "near-net shape" parts, minimizing the need for extensive subsequent High Precision Machined Parts operations and reducing the overall unit cost. HENTACH's mastery of the A380 alloy ensures that the final casting is free of critical defects like cold shuts or high porosity, which would otherwise compromise the part's integrity.

Our in-house die casting services are governed by our ISO 9001 certified quality system. We perform routine testing of the molten alloy composition (spectrometry) and utilize techniques like X-ray inspection to verify internal soundness and low porosity. Once cast, all critical mating and bearing surfaces are finished using our CNC machining centers to achieve the required precision and surface finish. This vertical integration—from raw material alloy to final precision-machined housing—guarantees a stable supply chain, superior quality control, and the fastest possible turnaround for custom Motor Housing Die Casting designs. We also offer customization of the surface finish, including powder coating, plating, and anodizing, to enhance corrosion resistance for outdoor or demanding environments.
