What are the thinnest walls that can be specified on a die cast part?
A. Typical wall thicknesses for a die cast design range from 0.040 in. (1.016 mm) to 0.200 in. (5.08 mm), depending on alloy, part configuration, part size and application. In specific instances for smaller die castings, wall sections as thin as 0.020 in. (0.50 mm) can be cast, with CWM consultation. For extremely small zinc parts, micro-miniature die casting technology (commonly called Miniature Die Casting) can be used to cast still thinner walls.
