got a new kink at the yard today. need help on this one
called my yard for prices and asked for cast price i000 lb. they asked if it was cast or die cast. never ran into this before.

Im pretty sure I know the difference but since we are talking some substancial weight here (for me). I need clarification.

Die cast medium to dark grey in color lighter in weight then cast alu correct ?

what other ways can I be sure ?



is there a way to bring the cast up to higher greade like smelting into ingots ?

I was quoted >27 for the die cast and .44 for the cast.
