Cast Aluminum
Cast Aluminum
(OP)
I have a cast part with some machined surfaces. Is the act of machining the part, other than the obvious removal of material, weakening this area. Is there some kind of surface hardening that has taken place during the simple pour operation? I know there isn't much information but I am just looking for some opinions. Would I be better served by trying to make the part with no secondary machining operation?

Machining does not make the casting inferior. How did you get such an idea? Die cast parts are inherently denser than sand cast. If you still desire to improve your product try hipping.

Anyway, that was my thought process
