The power system of traditional automobile generally includes engine block, cylinder head, gearbox, clutch and differential housing. Such die castings have strict requirements for compactness (porosity), vibration and impact strength of castings in ISO TS16949 system standard.

BMC's expert team with many years of high-pressure casting experience in the automotive industry provides you with support from the initial scheme to installation and the whole life cycle of the equipment, and customizes the die-casting solution of the traditional automotive power system for your production needs.

Reducing body weight through structural parts is a hot topic in the automotive field, especially in electric and hybrid vehicles. At present, structural parts are mainly used for high-end toolings, but medium and low-end car manufacturers have also taken great steps to follow up. However, the battery weight of electric vehicles and the additional motor of hybrid vehicles have become the concerns of manufacturers. They need to reduce weight to extend range and improve efficiency. Frame members provide a better solution for weight reduction.

In order to save costs, even from the whole value chain. The first starting point of structural members is to reduce the wall thickness, because about 60% of the component cost comes from materials. Our calculation results show that reducing the wall thickness can reduce the whole cost by 15%. However, the use of recycled alloys and processes without heat treatment also have development potential in the future.

It is very important for us to work with customers to improve the competitiveness of die-casting process to produce structural parts. Therefore, BMC is exploring the cost saving potential in various process links to provide customers with better solutions for mass production and high yield of structural parts.
