As global manufacturing accelerates its green transition and pushes for lightweighting, Magnesium and Aluminium have become key materials in sectors like new energy vehicles, aerospace, and 3C electronics. Aluminium die-casting, with its mature technology, continues to expand into new applications such as auto body structures and battery housings, showing steady growth. Magnesium die-casting, with even greater lightweight potential and emerging process innovations, is rising rapidly, though challenges in corrosion and creep resistance remain.



Currently, the global die-casting landscape is characterized by “steady Aluminium and advancing Magnesium“With increasingly close collaboration in the international industrial chains, technological innovation and market application are mutually reinforcing, presenting the industry with unprecedented opportunities and challenges, a central theme explored at the upcoming Die Casting Expo. In 2026, the China Die Casting Congress, under the theme of “Al & Mg, Casting a Lighter Future“ will gather global industry leaders to shape the lightweight future together.

Why Wuhan, China
As a key automotive hub, Wuhan is uniquely positioned to advance die-casting technology. It is home to Dongfeng Motor's 16,000-Ton megacasting factory and leading universities like Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Wuhan University of Technology. This powerful synergy between industry and academia creates a fertile ground for innovating and commercializing new die-casting solutions.innovating and commercializing new die-casting solutions.

A Die-Casting Event Since 1997
Since 1997, the China Die Casting Congress has been a key industry platform, driving innovation through technical exchange, evolving into an unprecedentedly large and highly influential event in the die-casting field.

Partnership with WFO, A Pool of International Resources
With the World Foundry Organization (WFO) as our global partner, we connect a network of Nearly 30 member countries across major die-casting markets. This gives the congress a unique channel to front-line global expertise and technological developments.
