Die-Cast Aluminum Metro Train Components for Urban Transit
Metro systems represent one of the most demanding environments in rail: high-frequency stops, intense passenger traffic, and the high demands for operational efficiency and lifecycle economy. To tackle these problems, we have die-cast aluminum components at Moldie.
Key Benefits for Metro Applications
-
Maximized Durability for High-Cycle Use: The monolithic structure of die-cast parts withstands the constant vibration, mechanical impacts from passenger loading/unloading, and general wear that define metro service, far outperforming assemblies made from multiple stamped or welded pieces.
-
Critical Weight Reduction for Energy Savings: Every kilogram saved in a metro car translates directly into lower traction energy consumption and reduced wear on brakes and wheels. Aluminum’s strength-to-weight ratio is ideal for achieving significant mass reduction without compromising safety or performance.
-
Design Consolidation & Assembly Simplification: Complex brackets, housings, and supports can be cast as single, ready-to-install units. This reduces the number of parts to inventory, eliminates multiple assembly steps and fasteners, and significantly lowers manufacturing and maintenance labor costs.
-
Inherent Safety & Performance Properties: Aluminum alloys offer excellent corrosion resistance against varied climates and cleaning agents, non-sparking characteristics for safety, and beneficial thermal and electrical conductivity for managing heat and grounding.

Electrical & Control
By integrating die-cast aluminum components, metro train manufacturers and operators achieve a superior balance of initial cost-efficiency, in-service reliability, and long-term total cost of ownership. These components are foundational to building the lighter, more durable, and more efficient metro trains that modern cities require.
