Die casting and forging applications include in the automotive industry, aerospace, industrial machinery and so on.
Die Casting and Forging complement each other in industrial manufacturing: the former is good at high efficiency and complex molding, while the latter focuses on strength and durability.
When choosing, you need to consider the function of the part, the material properties and cost-effectiveness. With the advancement of technology, the integrated application of the die casting and forging in the field of lightweight and high performance (such as semi-solid technology) will promote innovation in the manufacturing industry.
Main application areas of Die Casting

Other fields
- Lighting equipment: LED heat dissipation bases are optimized through aluminum die casting for thermal management.
- Medical equipment: surgical instrument housings, meeting surface finish requirements in sterile environments.
Main Application Fields of Forging
Die casting and forging applications: Aerospace
- Engine core parts: turbine discs, landing gear parts, need to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures
- Structural parts: wing frames, fuselage connectors, high strength-to-weight ratio achieved through titanium alloy forging.
- Main components/applications: Turbine shafts, engine blades, fuselage structures, landing gear components, flight control components.
- Forging features: High-temperature alloy forgings have excellent high-temperature resistance and creep resistance, meeting the harsh working conditions of aircraft engines.
Automotive industry
- Powertrain: crankshaft, connecting rod, use the high fatigue strength of forging to improve engine life.
- Transmission system: gears, drive shafts, optimize grain structure through hot forging to reduce wear.
- Forging features: Forging improves metal grain structure through compression deformation, providing extremely high strength and fatigue life, and is suitable for key components that bear large loads.
Die casting and forging applications:Energy and heavy industry
- Power generation equipment: turbine rotors, nuclear reactor pressure vessels, require ultra-high strength materials.
- Oil and gas: valves, flanges, resist corrosion and high pressure through stainless steel forging.
- Forging feature: Large size and high strength requirements make forging the preferred process.
