Connecting rod material of die casting include steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, forged components, and sometimes composite materials.

In this article, we will explore the materials we use for die casting machine connecting rods and the reasons behind their selection.

Connecting rod material

The material selection for the connecting rod is crucial to ensure the durability, strength, and life of the die casting machine.

Connecting rod material-Steel

We most commonly use steel for making connecting rods in die casting machines because of its high strength and durability.It can withstand the high pressures and repeated stress of the die casting process. We often heat-treat steel connecting rods to enhance their strength and resistance to wear and fatigue.

Aluminum Alloys

We sometimes use aluminum alloys for connecting rods, especially when weight reduction is a priority. They offer a good balance of strength and light weight, which can be beneficial in certain applications. However, they may not be as strong as steel and may require additional support or reinforcement.

Titanium Alloys

We use titanium alloys in high-performance applications that require both strength and low weight.They are extremely strong and corrosion resistant. Ideal for environments where we expose connecting rods to harsh conditions. However, titanium is more expensive than steel and aluminum, which limits its use to specific applications.

Connecting rod material-Forged Components

Some connecting rods are made from forged components. These components are known for their excellent strength and resistance to pressure deformation. Forging involves shaping the material using heavy pressure, which results in a more compact grain structure and improved mechanical properties.

Composite Materials

While less common, composite materials are being explored for use in connecting rods.

We can use these materials to offer unique combinations of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance.

But we still limit their use due to high costs and complex manufacturing processes.
