Aluminum die cast lamp covers and lighting series
Aluminum die casting process is preferred for lamp covers and some other lighting fixtures. Aluminum die casting process can achieve integrative design with fancy appearances. Furthermore high pressure die casting process is suited for mass production. As for high demand of lamp covers, it is a much more economical production process than any ohters.
Parison die casting foundry has rich experience in production of aluminum die cast lamp covers and other lighting fixtures. We can assist die casting design for lighting fixtures, produce die casting and do percision machining by ourselves. As for aluminum die cast lamp covers, their surface treatment is quite critical, because most die cast lighting fixtures require powder coating, stoving varnish and other kinds of surface treatments. We have established long relationship with several professional surface finishing factories around our foundries, who can process various kinds of surface finish for aluminum die cast lamp covers and lighting fixtures.
Main die cast lighting parts
A large portion of metal lamp covers are made by aluminum die casting process, especially the large steet lamp covers. The biggest lamp covers should be cast by 1250 tons or even 1600tons cold chamber die casting machines. There two main reasons why aluminum die casting process is preferred for metal lamp covers. The first is that die casting process can achieve integrative and complicated design and the second is that it can be mass produced to reduce production cost. The famous lamp cover purchaser is Philips, who has established cooperation relationship with several die casting foundries in Ningbo Area.
Besides die cast lamp covers, there are a variety of lighting parts produced by aluminum die casting process, such as switch housing, transmission case, heat sink housing and etc. Most of these die cast lighting parts have conduction requirement, which can require special mold design and post treatments.
Die cast lamp cover compared with stamping ones
Aluminum die cast lamp covers have lots of advantage compared with those by metal stamping. Aluminum die casting process can facilitate integrative design, as is not available for metal stamping, for example of adding heat sink fins onto the lamp cover.
Furthermore, aluminum die casting process is suited for mass production, that means it can reduce the unit price considerably. And aluminum alloy can be cheaper than stainless steel or alloy steel which are always used for sheet metal stamping.
Surface treatment for die cast lamp covers
Surface treatment is very important for aluminum die cast lighting parts. Nearly all die cast lamp covers require surface treatments, such as powder coating, painting, and anodizing. Die cast lamp cover especially the street lamp covers are used outdoor, thus they always require salt spray test to verify the corrosion resistance of the surface coating.
