Special materials developed in-house open up unimaginable opportunities.
Our materials expertise is demonstrated in countless products that prove successful during daily use worldwide. As a technology leader, ALUWAG casts both standard alloys as well as special materials developed in-house. These differ with respect to their heightened chemical and physical properties relative to standard die cast alloys. In our in-house laboratory, we continuously promote alloy development for the purpose of producing these materials with the required infrastructure.
The choice of required alloys is determined by customer-specific requirements. We respond to these demands with continual alloy development, adaptive component design and strict process optimisation. Doing all of this, ALUWAG pushes the boundaries of what has been achievable to date ever further forward.

Trial connecting rod
Over the last few years, we have been working hard to develop special materials in die casting. The wide range of special materials offering higher chemical and physical properties, as against standard materials, have allowed us to realize development projects with highest requirements.
The connecting rods are manufactured in the die casting process and heat treated. It demonstrates the high elongation at increased strength of the ALUWAG material. With the special materials, we have implemented projects in the powertrain, steering range and also car bodies (safety component).
