Manufacturing process
From your drawing to your door.
The steps below reflect LC&AKIN’s verified aluminum die-casting and downstream manufacturing route. Some project-specific steps—such as impregnation—are used only when required by the technical agreement.
13-step route
A connected path from inquiry to delivery.
Inquiry & DFM
Drawing or sample review, quotation and manufacturability feedback.
Incoming inspection
ADC12 composition and hardness check.
Material preparation
Prepare material according to the production plan.
Melting
Central melting and furnace-front sampling.
Die casting
180T–1000T equipment with automated part handling.
Deburring
Remove casting flash and prepare the part.
Shot blast & passivate
Surface cleaning and rust-prevention treatment.
CNC machining
Machine critical interfaces and perform patrol checks.
Leak testing
Every applicable part tested at 0.15–0.2 MPa.
Impregnation
Qualified external process when the agreement specifies it.
Cleaning
Clean the finished part surface.
Packaging
Standard carton or customer-specific packing.
Outgoing inspection & delivery
Final check, report, loading and shipment.
New-product introduction
Tooling and sample confirmation precede production.
For a new die-cast component, the project begins with drawing review and mold development. A T1 trial checks dimensional and fill condition before small-batch sample confirmation.
- New tooling: typically 45–60 days, depending on complexity
- Samples: typically 10–15 days after T1 trial
- Up to two free fine-tuning sample adjustments if needed
- Technical diagnosis within 48 hours if a sample issue is identified
