When considering the interaction between the tapped holes in the cast alloy and the studs or bolts, take into account the following factors:

The distribution of load and the effect that tolerances have on this distribution of load are discussed in detail in this section.

The boss diameter must be at least twice the size of the bolt diameter because die cast joints are more prone to dilation than other types of joints because they are more susceptible to dilation.

In die cast parts, there are threads on the outside of the part.
Molten zinc alloy, which has a predictable shrinkage of 0.07 percent, is used to join components in the IMA process in a manner that is very similar to the way adhesive boding is used to join components in the traditional manufacturing process.

Tensile strength of 41 kPa was achieved with this material.
This is taken into consideration when determining which insert will be used. It is also taken into consideration when determining the function of the insert and the economics associated with that insert. For successful casting,  is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of the residual stresses created by both types of inserts, as well as any issues that may arise in terms of long-term retention.

Thread-forming screws (which deform metal without removing die cast parts) and self-tapping screws (which have a cutting action) are more expensive than other types of screws because they have a greater retention capability than other types of screws.

When using ductile cast alloys,  is possible to develop interference between an external member and a internal member by incorporating crush-ribs between the external and internal members. Crush-ribs are used to connect the external and internal members together. Crush ribs have a number of advantages over conventional interference fits, including the fact that they do not require the use of extreme dimensional tolerances, as is the case with conventional interference fits. Crush ribs are also more cost-effective than conventional interference fits.

It is necessary for galvanic corrosion to occur for the following conditions to be fulfilled:
It is a dissimilar metal that is either more cathodic or less anodic than the other metal that serves as a cathode.
