| Aluminum investment castings from our China foundries
directly compete with aluminum die castings. However, aluminum
investment castings (lost wax casting) with the use of soluble core technology
can allow for internal geometry that cannot be created in die casting
due to molding core constraints. |

| Typically, aluminum investment castings will be more
expensive than die casting, however the tooling costs for investment casting
will be less expensive than die casting. In general lower volume
parts are more suited for investment casting than die casting. Die
casting is more automated than investment casting therefore reducing piece
part costs. |
|
| Aluminum investment castings are typically used for
weight reduction due to the fact that aluminum is stronger than steel
on a pound for pound basis. This makes them suitable for any
application requiring weight reduction such as the marine, automotive,
aerospace and many other industries. |
