Assembly Methods
Our engineers can help you decide on the best fasteners to join your components. There are a wide range of options to choose from. Here are some that we recommend:
-
Injected Metal Assembly (IMA)
Outperforming most adhesives and lowering costs for small component joining and assembly production.

-
Threaded Fasteners
Often used to join Aluminium, magnesium, and zinc components.
Read More
-
Inserts
For designs that exceed the capabilities of the selected alloy, threaded inserts made from a different material are used for assembly.

-
Self Cutting / Forming Fasteners
A range of fasteners that anchor in the part by cutting into or forming it as they are installed.

-
Die Cast External Threads
External threads can be cast or Moulded on cylinders across the parting line of dies, with slides, or with solid tool components.

-
Interference Fits
Interference fits help retain components such as bearings and dowel inserts in die castings.

-
Attachment Systems
For attachments requiring plastic deformation of the part.

Special Design Measures
Two characteristics of die casting alloys require special design measures: galvanic potential and the response to long-term loading.
