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.

We Can Solve The Weight Problem

Our innovative solutions such as sand casting, permanent mold casting, and tool and die manufacturing can service your block casting needs. We are a one-stop-shop for all of your aluminum casting and machining needs. Our casting process reduces the weight of material while maintaining its significant strength. The benefits of “weighing just one-third the amount of steel or iron casting with the same dimensions” as aluminum are endless. In fact, along with the lowering of the weight, this method increases fuel efficiency and is cost-efficient.
