Our OEM manufacturing services support drawing-based component development, precision machining and finishing for industrial equipment manufacturers seeking high-strength aluminum parts.
Ningbo Fuerd provides professional 6061-T6 semi-solid die casting OEM manufacturing for industrial clients across Europe and North America.
Bridging the performance gap between traditional die casting and pure forging, our semi-solid casting technology creates parts with denser microstructures, consistent mechanical properties and superior secondary processability.
All T6 heat-treated components achieve forging-grade strength at a cost-effective production rate, complying with mainstream U.S. and EU industrial component standards.
1. Automotive 6061-T6 Semi-Solid Cast Components (OEM & Aftermarket)
Electric, hybrid and high-performance vehicles require lightweight, rigid structural parts with excellent fatigue resistance and repairability.
Conventional ADC12 die castings lack toughness, cannot be welded or fully heat-treated, limiting their use in critical automotive structures. Pure forging delivers exceptional strength but entails higher costs and longer lead times, making it inefficient for high-volume production.
6061-T6 semi-solid die casting solves these pain points for high-standard automotive structural applications.
After professional T6 solution and aging treatment, finished parts achieve a stable 310 MPa tensile strength with minimal internal porosity, outstanding ductility and impact resistance.
All components support precision CNC machining, structural welding and anodizing, meeting strict OE manufacturing and aftermarket replacement standards for premium automotive brands.
