How Are Oxygen Compressor Aluminum Parts Manufactured?

Do you know how aluminum parts are produced? Please follow along as we provide more information about it from our die casting factory in Sanmen. Die casting is a metal casting process characterized by using a mold cavity to apply high pressure to the melted metal. Most die-casting castings are iron-free and include metals such as zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead, tin, and their alloys. Our factory specializes in aluminum die-casting, which is used for the shell and other components of oxygen compressors.

Oxygen compressors play a crucial role in medical and industrial applications by compressing oxygen for various uses, including respiratory therapy and welding. The precision and durability of the aluminum parts produced through die casting are essential for the reliable performance of oxygen machines. High-quality die-cast aluminum components ensure that the compressors operate efficiently, withstanding the high pressures and rigorous demands of continuous operation.

The process of aluminum die casting usually includes the following steps:

Mold Manufacturing: First, it is necessary to design and manufacture one or a pair of precision molds, which are usually made of high-strength steel and can withstand high pressure and high temperature.

Melting Aluminum Alloy: Heat the aluminum alloy material to the molten state in preparation for injection casting.

Casting: Inject the molten aluminum alloy into the mold cavity. This process is usually carried out under high pressure to ensure that the metal fills all the details of the mold.

Cooling and Curing: The molten aluminum alloy quickly cools and cures in the mold.

Subsequently, the excess part of the molded shell is knocked out and sent to the slicing area for further processing to ensure the quality and accuracy of the oxygen compressor parts. The precision offered by die-casting is critical for maintaining the performance and safety standards required for oxygen machines, making it an indispensable manufacturing method in the industry.
