Did you know 34% of casting rejects stem from poor die casting mould finishes? Our team’s 2025 automotive project revealed: a Ra 0.4µm surface reduced post-processing costs by $1.2/part. Let’s crack the code to flawless finishes.
This method achieves Ra 0.1-0.2µm finishes. Pro tip: combine with ultrasonic cleaning for 20% longer polish retention.
A 2024 ICME study shows hybrid ECM-EDM reduces tool wear by 60% compared to traditional EDM.

Q: What’s the ideal Ra value for aluminum die casting?
A: Most applications require Ra 0.4-0.8µm, but high-precision parts demand ≤0.2µm
