Aluminium and Zamak Injection Die Casting. Industrias DOJE S.L.

 In an increasingly demanding industrial market, process optimization and material selection are critical factors for project success. At INDUSTRIAS DOJE S.L., we are strengthening our position as leaders in Zamak and aluminum high-pressure die casting, offering comprehensive solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with decades of technical expertise.

Why Choose Die Casting for Your Components? High-pressure die casting (HPDC) is the most efficient method for manufacturing complex geometries with tight tolerances. We specialize in two key alloys:

• Zamak Casting: Ideal for parts requiring excellent dimensional precision, high-quality surface finishes, and high mechanical strength in thin walls.

• Aluminum Casting: Known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and high thermal conductivity.

Our Commitment to Quality With both hot chamber (Zamak) and cold chamber (Aluminum) machinery, we handle everything from short runs to large-scale industrial production. We are more than just a supplier; we are strategic partners in mold design and final finishing.

Ford stole the show at the last Detroit Auto Show with the new generation of its pick-up F-150 has a body made of aluminum alloy. He said that the new model would weigh between 250 and 320 pounds less than the current, largely thanks to the use of aluminum, and it plans to market at prices close to those of the current (which range from 24 500 à 55 000 dollars). The new F-150 is part of the strategy to reduce the fuel consumption of the manufacturer. Ford has not given any indication on vehicle fuel consumption, but according to reports in the press, he would seek a highway fuel consumption of 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

Costs most important materials

The decision to replace the steel body of the most sold in the United States and most profitable Ford by an aluminum body vehicle could revolutionize the U.S. utility market, but also reduce the profits of the manufacturer. It implies higher cost of materials, significant investments in production tools and engineering, as well as the risk of setting complicated and troubled production and possible customer resistance. Also the problem of cost of repairing body panels and in turn the amount of insurance premiums.

Easy repair damaged panels

Ford noted in this regard that the model was designed to be repaired easily. It is also committed to financially assist dealers and repair shops for body panels damaged can be replaced or repaired at a competitive cost. Eric Noble, president of the consulting firm The CarLab, estimated that the use of aluminum would increase the cost of the new F-150 at least 1000 dollars, knowing that aluminum is about three times more expensive than steel.Source: www.ccfa.fr
