ADAPTABILITY of die castings to economical manufacture, to close dimensions, to complex shapes, and to thin sections is stressed.Die-casting alloys are reviewed, emphasizing the suitability of the zinc alloys in cost, physical properties, and die cost, along with their limitations as to temperature and otherwise.A discussion of applications to automotive grilles includes comparison with other methods of producing these parts and a description of the built-up type of die-cast grille.Steering-wheel applications considered include hubs, horn rings, and light switches. Windshield-frame parts, louvres, radio grilles, lamp mountings, body-interior parts, horn bodies, and a number of chassis applications also are discussed.A review of finishing processes and notes and suggestions on design conclude the paper.
