Die Casting Alloys 2025 –

Die Casting Aluminum Alloys are lightweight and possesses the stability to come up with thin walls and different shapes. This metal can resist corrosion and other mechanical properties. Moreover, it has excellent electrical and high thermal conductivity. Above all, aluminum die castings can withstand high pressure and temperature. That's why aluminum is the most common metal used in die casting.

Die casting zinc started in 1800. A patent was granted for the first machine for die casting printing in the year 1849. The die casting process was only limited to printer's type but development of other shapes have been developed many years after. Aluminum die casting was introduced in 1914 and it gained popularity. Furthermore, die casting this kind of metal is still used today.

The Die Casting Aluminum Process of exerting high pressure to molten aluminum into molten cavities. These molds are called dies. They can be designed to come up with accurate and complex shapes. Parts can be defined to produce textured or smooth surfaces. Die cast products range from aircraft and automobile parts, toys, and even household utensils.

Aluminum Die casting is an economical and efficient process that offers a wide range of components and shapes. Parts that have been made through die casting have long service life. Moreover, it provides high-speed production and requires less or no machining at all. Furthermore, you can make thousands of similar castings before you use additional tools.

Aluminum Die Casting Airplane Parts 2025

Aluminum Die Casting Airplane Parts 2025 –

How to Use Aluminum Airplane parts. The popular aircraft airframe has been the most challenging function for aluminum alloys; to account the progress of the high strength alloys is as well to account the progress of airframes. Duralumin is the first high strength, high temperature treatable aluminum alloy and was utilized originally for the structure of stiff airships. Duralumin was actually an aluminum-copper-magnesium alloy. It was initiated in the country of Germany and expanded in the United States of America as alloy 17S-T. It was employed first and foremost as a sheet and plate.

Throughout the 20th century, aluminum turned out to be an important metal in die casting aluminum aircraft parts. The cylinder mass of the engine that controlled the plane of the famous Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903 was a one piece die casting in an aluminum alloy consisting of 8% copper. The aluminum propeller blades emerged as early as 1907 and aluminum seats, covers, cast brackets, cowlings, and comparable parts were regular by the start of the World War I.

In the year 1916, L. Brequet created a scouting bomber that identified the primary utilization of aluminum in the functioning configuration of a plane. By the end of the war, Germany and the Allies used aluminum die casting alloys intended for the constructional scaffolding of fuselage and section assemblies.

Former newsletter: Pacific Die Casting U.S. Operations Closure

This is the story by Bob Thomas that is a recounting of his memory of working at Pacific Die Casting Company in Commerce California and his founding of Kinetic Die Casting Company in North Hollywood California.

Pacific Die Casting Company in California (Pacific) was founded in 1951 in Paramount, California at 15006 South Verdura Avenue, Paramount, CA 90723 by Tip Welch. Pacific was located on Verdura Avenue and was east of Downey Avenue and north of Compton Blvd (now called Somerset). Operating out of three small buildings a total of 20,000?sq?ft with 10 die casting machines. Now that location is apartment complexes. Pacific did not have a website or fax number before the sale from Tip to Vince. Pacific had the phone number of (213) 636-1052. While operating Pacific in Paramount, Tip hired his son David in the 1960s. Dave Welch left Pacific in Paramount and later opened El Monte Tool and Die Casting Company in El Monte, California in the 1970s. In the early 1990s, Dave Welch closed El Monte Tool and Die business and auctioned off the business assets.

In 1981, Tip sold Pacific under an asset and profit agreement to Vincent Orlandini. Vince, at the time, was running Newland Hardware in Pasadena. Vince took over operation of Pacific with his children Janet, John, Jim, Jeff, Joe, Jerry and Joanna. Janet Orlandini ran the office, Jeff Orlandini took over finance and operations as Vice-President, and Joe Orlandini was in charge of die casting production and manufacturing. By 1985, Jeff Orlandini took over the control of Pacific. The annual sales at Pacific were declining for the years of 1981 to 1987.

In the early 1990s, the Orlandini's moved Pacific from the 20,000 foot building in Paramount to a 40,000 foot building in the City of Commerce.

In 1987, Bob Thomas was training sales people for The Dale Carnegie Organization. Pacific had sales of under $1,000,000 and Vince wanted growth. They placed an advertisement in the Los Angeles Times Classified for a die casting salesman and Bob called Pacific for the job. Vince hired Bob because he was familiar with the Dale Carnegie organization. Jeff was running Pacific, so Bob worked for Jeff. Bob's pay was a small salary of $12 per hour, ($25,000 per year) and a 2.5% commission on new die casting sales.

Before Bob was hired on at Pacific Die Casting Company, the best year of annual sales was just over two million dollars. Bob was hired September 1, 1987. The Pacific annual sales for 1987 were $1,500,000. The first full year Bob sold die casting parts for Pacific, in 1988, Bob had increased the annual sales to $2,621,000. With Bob's help, the Pacific annual sales grew to over five million dollars ($5,000,000) by 1992.

The largest new die casting customers that Bob got for Pacific were Kim Lighting, to make large die casting lighting fixtures. Several concrete roof tile companies, such as Lifetile, Monier, Eagle, Pioneer, Westile, Hanson and Boral roofing tile companies to make aluminum roofing tile molds. Pacific made hundreds of thousands of aluminum roofing tile molds for several millions of dollars over the years.

From 1987 to 1993, Bob was paid a 2.5% commission on new sales, that amount in 1992 was over $87,000 and his annual salary was at $25,000 making his total income over $100,000 for the year 1992. He was let go from Pacific Die Casting. Bob's last day at Pacific was February 12th 1993. At the time Bob (me), felt that being let go was a horrible experience but in retrospect, being let go from Pacific was the best thing to have happened to me. Joe Orlandini started working at Pacific Die Casting in January 1982 and he was let go in March 2016.

Pacific Die Casting Company has been in business since 1951. They were one of the few remaining die casting companies in California.
(Newsletter: https://www.kineticdiecasting.com/kdc/southern-california-usa-die-casting-companies-2025/).

I, Bob Thomas, am personally saddened with this bad news. The Orlandini family have struggled a lot over the last few years to keep the California Die Casting Operations going. I wish them a lot of luck in their future endeavors.

Kinetic Die Casting Company would not currently be in business if Pacific Die Casting Company was never owned by the Orlandini family. Vince Orlandini hired Bob Thomas in 1987, Jeff Orlandini let Bob Thomas go in February 1993, and then Bob Thomas founded Kinetic Die Casting Company the following year in July 1994. Thank you, Jeff.

Die Casting Foundry – A Description of the Die Casting Parts Production Process – Die casting is a metal parts manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under considerable pressure, into a hardened steel die or also called die casting mold. Dies are often water-cooled. The die is then opened, and the die casting metal parts are ejected (many times thousands of die casting parts each day, sometimes only a few hundred die casting parts). Once the die casting tooling is paid for, die casting parts are a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process. (800) 524-8083 – sales@kineticdc.com

Die Casting Aluminum Heatsinks 2025

Die Casting Aluminum Heatsinks 2025 –

Die Casting Molds and Die Casting Procedures. Die casting aluminum Alloys is a process in which many industrial products and accessories are produced. And in producing these industrial products and accessories by way of die cast molds, four major steps are considered crucial and important.

The preparation of the molds that will be used in the process is the first step. The molds in question will be sprayed with lubricant and will be closed. The spraying of the lubricant is necessary so as to effectively control the temperature of the die and also to ensure that the finished product will be removed with ease.

Furthermore, when the tooling or die casting molds have been sprayed, the molten metal will then be introduced to the die and this will be subjected under very high pressure. This kind of pressure will be maintained up until the time that the metal has formed. When the metal has been formed within the mold, the die will then be opened and the shot will be ejected by the ejector pins. From here the scrap that includes the runners, flash and the gate will be taken out from the casting which in turn is done with the use of the special trim die in power press.

Also, there is a traditional way of taking the product out of the casting. This is done by hand or can be done by sawing. This will give some rough edges which can be remedied by grinding so as to smooth out the scrap marks. Another way is to tumble the shots and this can be done if the gates present are thin.
