Aluminum Block Castings
Block castings are traditionally used in the automobile and recreational vehicle industry. To put it simply, the specification of die casting engine blocks are environmentally sound, lightweight, and have high strength and high surface finishing. Because recreational vehicles have become more and more sophisticated with every passing year, manufacturers are constantly looking for methods to enhance the various materials that go into making a quality vehicle. The need to make parts stronger than ever to comply with industry standards means understanding the various casting methods out there.
At LeClaire Manufacturing, we produce block castings with our die casting machines and engineer light-alloy engine blocks, light-alloy automotive components, and other structural parts. Because of fierce competition in the recreational vehicle market, LeClaire’s advancements in aluminum casting instead of steel or iron are vast. Our aluminum block castings cover several components of the vehicle. In fact, our team is here to ensure that all areas of production are driven by quality assurance drive and innovative solutions.
