Core Product: Die-cast Magnesium Alloy Motor Housing

Our die-cast magnesium alloy motor housing is engineered to meet the critical requirements of motor operation: providing reliable protection for internal components, efficient heat dissipation to extend motor lifespan, and stable structural support for high-speed rotation. Leveraging 10+ years of magnesium alloy die-casting experience, we optimize the product structure to maximize the unique advantages of magnesium alloy—35% lighter than aluminum alloy, 40% higher thermal conductivity than steel, and excellent impact resistance—effectively solving the industry pain points of heavy traditional motor housings, poor heat dissipation, and insufficient durability.

Core functions include: sealing protection against dust and moisture, integrated heat dissipation fins for rapid temperature reduction, and precise mounting interfaces for easy assembly. Widely applied in new energy vehicle drive motors, industrial servo motors, household appliance motors, and power tool motors, all products come with strict quality assurance and comply with international standards such as ASTM and EN.


Detailed Production Process of Die-cast Magnesium Alloy Motor Housing

We adhere to a standardized and visualized production process to ensure product consistency and quality. The core process of die-cast magnesium alloy motor housing includes 8 key steps, with strict quality control at each stage:

  • Raw Material Inspection & Preparation: Select high-purity magnesium alloy ingots (AZ91D, AM60B, etc.) that meet ASTM B94 standards. Conduct 100% incoming inspection for material composition and purity using spectral analysis equipment to eliminate inferior raw materials.

  • Magnesium Alloy Melting: Put qualified ingots into a professional melting furnace, heat to 650-700℃ under the protection of SF6+CO2 mixed gas to prevent oxidation. Use rotary degassing technology to remove impurities and gas from the molten metal, ensuring molten metal cleanliness.

  • Die Casting Molding: Inject the molten magnesium alloy into precision molds at high pressure (120-150MPa) and high speed (3-5m/s) using advanced cold-chamber die-casting machines. The mold is preheated to 180-220℃ to ensure uniform filling and avoid cold shut defects. The die-casting cycle is precisely controlled within 20-40 seconds according to product size.

  • Demolding & Trimming: After the molten metal solidifies (10-15 seconds), the mold opens automatically to take out the casting. Remove gate, runner, and burrs using CNC trimming machines to ensure the initial shape of the motor housing.

  • Heat Treatment: Perform T6 heat treatment (solution treatment + artificial aging) on the casting to improve mechanical properties—solution treatment at 415℃ for 4 hours, followed by water quenching, and artificial aging at 168℃ for 8 hours. This process enhances the tensile strength and hardness of the housing.

  • Precision Machining: Use 20+ sets of high-precision CNC machining centers to process key surfaces and interfaces (mounting holes, shaft holes, etc.). The machining process strictly follows the technical drawings, ensuring dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerance requirements.

  • Surface Treatment: Implement customized surface treatment according to customer needs to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance. Common processes include anodizing, powder coating, and chemical conversion coating. Each surface-treated product undergoes a salt spray test to verify corrosion resistance.

  • Finished Product Inspection & Packaging: Conduct comprehensive inspection of the finished motor housing, including dimensional measurement (using 3D coordinate measuring machines), appearance inspection, and mechanical property testing. Qualified products are packaged with anti-scratch and anti-rust materials, ready for delivery.

In addition to the core die-casting process, we also provide supporting processes such as CNC turning, milling, drilling, and assembly to meet one-stop production needs of customers.

Common Magnesium Alloy Die-casting Problems & Solutions

Based on our 10+ years of practical experience in magnesium alloy die-casting, we have summarized the most common problems in motor housing production and formulated targeted solutions to ensure product quality:

Common Problems

Root Causes

Our Solutions

Gas Porosity in Castings

Insufficient degassing of molten metal, excessive moisture in mold or raw materials, improper die-casting parameters

Optimize rotary degassing process (extend degassing time to 15-20 minutes); preheat molds and raw materials to remove moisture; adjust die-casting pressure and speed to avoid turbulent filling

Cold Shut & Misrun

Low molten metal temperature, insufficient injection speed, poor mold filling design

Strictly control molten metal temperature at 650-700℃; increase injection speed appropriately; optimize mold gate and runner design to ensure smooth filling

Dimensional Deviation of Mounting Holes

Mold deformation, uneven cooling, inaccurate machining parameters

Use high-temperature resistant mold steel and conduct regular mold maintenance; optimize mold cooling channel design for uniform cooling; calibrate CNC machining parameters daily and use 3D inspection for verification

Poor Heat Dissipation Performance

Unreasonable heat dissipation fin design, uneven material structure

Optimize heat dissipation fin structure (increase fin density and height) through simulation analysis; improve melting and die-casting processes to ensure uniform material structure and enhance thermal conductivity
