Outsource Die casting parts to Vietnam in 2022
In Vietnam, companies specializing in die casting are showing progress in production methods gradually. This is the result of the trend of foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) such as the US, Korea and especially Japan shifting production to Vietnam. Therefore, more than ever, continuous improvement and application of standards such as 5S and Kaizen in production have become priorities of Vietnam die casting companies. Thereby, increasing the competitive value of die casting companies in Vietnam as well as reducing the cost and production time compared to the previous period. Furthermore, you can learn about Vietnamese supplier capability in metal casting through this all-in-one guide.
I. DIE CASTING TECHNIQUE IN VIETNAM
Hot-Chamber
Hot-chamber die casting is an excellent choice for alloys that do not quickly consume and erode metal pots, cylinders, and plungers. It is used for zinc, certain magnesium alloys, and other low-melting alloys.
Cold-Chamber
Cold-chamber die casting technique better suited for metals with high melting points, such as aluminum. Metal is liquefied and then ladled into a cold chamber where a hydraulically powered plunger forces the metal into the die.
II. COMMON DIE CASTING MATERIAL IN VIETNAM
Zinc, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, copper, lead, and tin are the most frequent die casting alloys; ferrous die casting is also feasible, though it is unusual.
Specific die casting alloys include: zinc aluminum; aluminum to, for example, steel; and steel to, for example, aluminum to steel. Aluminum Association (AA) specifications: AA 380, AA 384, AA 386, AA 390, and AZ91D magnesium. The benefits of each alloy are summarized below:
Zinc
Aluminium
Magnesium
Copper
Silicon tombac
Lead and tin
Zinc
Zinc is the simplest metal to cast; it has excellent ductility and impact strength, is readily coated, is inexpensive for tiny parts, and promotes extended die life.
Aluminium
Aluminium is lightweight, has great dimensional stability for highly complicated forms and thin walls, is resistant to corrosion, has good mechanical characteristics, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and keeps strength at high temperatures.
Magnesium
Magnesium is the most easily machined metal; it has a great strength-to-weight ratio and is the lightest alloy frequently die cast.
Copper
Copper has a high hardness, a high corrosion resistance, the greatest mechanical characteristics of die cast alloys, good wear resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and strength comparable to steel components.
Silicon tombac
Silicon tombac is a high-strength copper, zinc, and silicon alloy. Frequently used as a substitute for investment cast steel components.
Lead and tin
Lead and tin have a high density and exceptionally tight dimensional precision; they are utilized for particular types of corrosion resistance. For public health concerns, such alloys are not utilized in foodservice applications. Type metal, a lead, tin, and antimony alloy (with trace amounts of copper), is used to cast hand-set type in letterpress printing and hot foil blocking.

Vietnamese manufacturer over come Covid 19
At a recent meeting with the Korean Ambassador and representatives of Korean businesses in Vietnam, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien said, along with ensuring safe conditions for production, the Vietnamese Government is promoting the vaccination against Covid-19 for employees, giving priority to businesses that gather a large number of workers in industrial zones.
“Vietnam does not have to stop production to prevent and control the epidemic, on the contrary, it must boost production in all situations and find all solutions to maintain production and effectively prevent and control the epidemic. The task at this time is to ensure that enterprises in safe production zones are the highest priority of the Government and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam…”, Minister Nguyen Hong Dien affirmed.
Human resources
Vietnam’s main advantage over China is the low cost of the labor force. While in major Chinese cities, the wages have surged, and manufacturers are struggling to stay profitable, the cost of labor in Vietnam can be as little as 1/3 of China’s. For instance, the minimum wages in Vietnam can be as low as $125 in certain regions. With that in mind, wages in Vietnam are increasing faster than they are in China and, in some cases, are reaching parity.
In recent years, Vietnam is expected or considered by some as the 2nd Factory of the world, or the next Manufacturing Hub of the world after China; there are many driving factors behind this:
The labor cost in Vietnam is still highly attractive to many investors, the so-called “golden population” structure is perfect for the development of manufacturing industries
