Aluminum, magnesium, and zinc die casting. Machines up to 1,600 tons. Global supplier network with ISO/TS certification.
Almost every design and mechanical engineer is versed in aluminum die casting. We find that engineering, program management, and procurement have different objectives and concerns and, more often than not, these are not communicated well, which creates issues. GTI's technical and commercial managers bring these functions together to educate the team on their options and help them determine a complete solution.
GTI has developed a global supplier network that includes aluminum, magnesium, and zinc die casting with machines up to 1,600 tons. We evaluate geometries, total cost of ownership, logistics, and experience to make sure the part is optimized.
If your parts benefit from magnesium die casting it is ever so important that GTI helps you through this process.
Engineers often commit to a manufacturing process early in the design cycle. That's not inherently wrong. It should be an informed decision, not a default. GTI evaluates geometries, total cost of ownership, logistics, and supply chain experience to make sure you're picking the right process, not just the familiar one.
We've seen teams design a part for aluminum die casting that would have been significantly cheaper, lighter, or better-yielding as a magnesium thixomolding. We catch those decisions before tooling starts.
"GTI evaluates geometries, total cost of ownership, logistics, and experience to make sure the part is optimized, not just what the team was already planning to do."
It requires specific supplier expertise and process knowledge. GTI has run magnesium die casting programs for automotive and defense customers and can walk you through where it makes sense.
