Die Casting
Aluminum Alloy 360 Die Casting
Trident Components offers Alloy 360 (A360) aluminum die casting which boasts higher corrosion resistance, superior strength at elevated temperatures, and somewhat better ductility than most other aluminum alloys. At Trident Components, we can offer you great savings on all of our materials because we get them directly from the manufacturer, and our facilities will give you a perfectly die cast part every time.
