Production Diagnosis: Frequent Porosity in Aluminum Die Casting? It Might Not Be Your Process, But Your Silicon Source.

In aluminum die-casting workshops, porosity is the number one cause of scrap. When the X-ray inspector reveals pinholes, or when bubbles appear on machined surfaces causing a whole batch to be rejected, the first reaction of most production managers is usually: adjust the die-casting parameters, check the mold venting, or review the refining process.

Silicon Alloying: How to Balance Impurities?

As the global aluminum industry accelerates toward carbon neutrality, secondary (recycled) aluminum has become the mainstream choice. However, compared to primary aluminum, the biggest challenge of secondary aluminum is downcycling — due to complex scrap sources, impurity elements (especially Fe, Mg, Ti, V) accumulate and severely limit high-end applications.
