Die casting involves injecting molten metal under high pressure into a steel mold to mass-produce products that have to be identical such as engine parts. The dies are produced in two parts: the cover half and the ejector half that allows the completed casting to be removed, as well as having movable sections to produce holes, threads and other desired shapes. There are four types of dies used in die-casting ranging from single-cavity dies for manufacturing one part to multiple-cavity dies to make several different parts at once and unit dies for producing different parts used in an assembly.
Given a number of metals that are commonly used in die casting, including zinc which is the easiest alloy to cast, aluminum which combines high stability to hold complex shapes with light weight and copper, which features qualities such as increased hardness and corrosion resistance.
Commonly two types of machinery that are used in die casting manufacturing. One is the hot chamber machines that are used with metals that have a low melting point such as zinc, lead and copper while those with higher melting points like aluminum are processed in a cold chamber machine. Among the industries where die cast parts plays an important role are automotive, aerospace, consumer products, telecommunications and consumer products.
Die casting firms play a significant part in the US economy as it adds over $7 billion to the Gross Domestic Product annually while creating more than 45,000 direct and thousands of indirect manufacturing jobs. In addition, the average American die casting company has fewer than 100 manufacturing employees making it a major contributor to many local economies while the largest firms are renowned for manufacturing world-class products using cutting edge production technologies. It is also one of the most environmentally-friendly as more than 95|of the aluminum die-castings in the US are made from post-consumer recycled materials while many die casting businesses have implemented closed-loop manufacturing systems that recycle as much of their inputs as possible in their manufacturing processes.
Stated as the main US die casting industry organization is the NADCA or the North American Die Casting Association), which boasts of over 3,200 individual and corporate members and maintains a lively research and development program to ensure that American die cast parts businesses remains ahead of the technological curve.
One of the main services provided by the NADCA, provide a directory that allows manufacturers to match their specific requirements with a die casting company that is qualified to meet them. The directory allows you to search by location, by metal cast (i.e. aluminum, zinc) as well as by machine size (from 50,000 tons up to 150,000 tons and above) and process used (low and high-pressure casting to four and five slide miniature zinc). One of the benefits of using a die casting firm www.kineticdiecasting.com that is a NADCA member is that you are assured that the manufacturing company is reputable and offers products produced at the highest quality standards while still practicing corporate responsibility.
