Some of the automotive parts made with a magnesium die casting include: Interior parts: steering column, key lock housing, glove box door, seat riser, console bracket, seat frame, steering wheel, and radio housing Body parts: mirror bracket, spare tire carrier, fuel filler lid, door, and liftgate inner panel, and roof frame Chassis parts: brake pedal alarm, clutch brake, accelerator bike, pedal bracket, mounting bracket, and racing wheel. Powertrain parts: clutch housing, engine block, piston housing, cam cover, valve cover, transfer case, alternator, oil filter adapter, and electric motor housing. Copper Die Casting It is resistant to corrosion, has a high hardness, excellent resistance to wear, and has high mechanical properties. Copper die casting also has excellent dimensional stability with a strength which can be compared to that of steel parts. The main disadvantage of copper die casting is that it is prone to cracking on the surface, internal cavities, and shrinkage. Some of the applications of copper die casting include: 1. Electrode holders 2. Electrical switchgear 3. Electrode plates for process industry machinery 4. Spot welding electrodes 5. Die-cast rotors in motors of high efficiency 6. Terminal lugs 7. High amperage circuit breakers 8.Die-cast battery terminals 9. Contact mechanisms
