- Start from the alloyAluminium, magnesium and zinc need different base chemistry.
Magnesium in particular will punish an aluminium grade.
- Look at the part, not the machineWall thickness and cavity depth decide the mix.
A deep-cavity housing and a thin 3C frame on the same tonnage need different grades.
- Set the dilution for your water and die temperatureHard water, high die temperature
and long downtime all push the ratio. We give a starting range; the trial fixes the final number.
- Run a side-by-side trial on one machineSame nozzle settings, same parts, only the
liquid changes. Measure three things: release quality, surface finish, die cleaning interval.
- Calculate cost per 1,000 shots — not price per kgThis is where a weaker dilution
gives itself away. Bring your invoice and your mixing ratio.
What we send with a sample: dilution instructions for your alloy and
part type, a mixing procedure, water-quality notes and a one-page trial protocol so both sides measure the same
numbers.
