The Art of Aluminum Parts
Aluminum components are used as military parts and are utilized by most branches of the United States military. Companies who cater these aluminum die casting parts to the military usually cut off the excess parts of the material after incorporating the military parts with aluminum. Procedures like impregnating the castings, inspection for zyglo, machining the parts according to specifications, inspection and the like usually follow. These are done to seal porosity and avoid defects with each of their products. Even military aircraft parts make use of these parts so companies who make them must make sure that their products have corrosion detection/prevention; crack detection; can withstand high-temperature fatigue and fracture plus high-cycle engine fatigue; has vibration control; real-time three-dimensional flight loads; and wear monitoring, modeling, and simulation; advanced intelligent and flexible manufacturing methods; advances in materials and processes, including coatings.
Agencies like the United States Army, United States Navy, United States Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, United States Special Operations Command, United States Transportation Command, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Missile Defense Agency, Defense Information Systems Agency, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and the Defense Commissary Agency are usually the ones who need and purchase these aluminum military parts. With that said, these pieces then can be considered as more than just everyday aluminum parts.
But you have to believe that these aluminum die casting parts are actually used to make stuff from military parts to aluminum housings, roofing tilemolds to amplifier parts, and aluminum handle hardware to automotive parts – mostly things that we use everyday.

The Importance of Metal
What is die casting? How do you define die casting? Simply put, die casting is a process of manufacturing metal parts by molding the molten metal. The metals used are ductile, malleable metals with a high degree of heat and electric conductivity, high strength and corrosion resistance, wear resistance, can be easily plated, and with good dimensional stability, namely: aluminum, copper, magnesium, tin and lead, and brass. The metals have low iron content and low melting point, but sometimes ferrous, or iron, metals can be used.
First of all,Manufacturing die cast parts is done in a specialized company with the right equipment and expertise. The finished products are used in a variety of industrial fields: automotive, aeronautics, telecom, factories. Die cast metals are also present in households, in some kitchen apparatus and furniture, bathroom products such as shavers, storage shelves, and even in metal plumbing fixtures. In the field of telecommunications, these die cast parts are present in mobile phone antennas, laptops and computers; and finally they are very popular as die cast toy collectibles.
Metal parts made using the die casting process is everywhere to be found in our modern world. Die cast companies are manufacturing hundreds of products for hundreds of different industries and trades. That is how important these metals are to us today.

Aluminum Die Casting
An Aluminum Die Casting Company provides a service to manufacturers of manipulating aluminum metals into the desired shape and size. In other words, these companies are responsible for taking a bar of aluminum alloy and turning them into various parts such as heat sinks, lighting fixtures, brackets and automotive parts. They do this through a process known as die casting wherein the aluminum bars are subjected to intense heating until they liquefy. The liquefied aluminum will next be poured into large metal casings known as castings or molds. The liquid metal would take the form of the casting and when it is cooled, the metal will harden into its former solid state no longer a bar, but the intended shape.
Furthermore, the service of an Aluminum Die Casting Company is very valuable to many manufacturers as they provide high quality material at low costs. This is especially helpful for those does not have access to the needed machinery to accomplish die casting.

Aluminum Hardware Handles Construction
The aluminum handles available in the market come with brackets. These additional parts weigh almost 1/3 less compared to brackets made of steel. Aluminum-made tools are also known to be specifically conductive in terms of electricity. Since aluminum is relatively more robust than steel, you can expect that your equipment will last for a huge number of years. Kinetic die casting is being used to make these tools the best in quality aluminum hardware handles. The usual process of creating this handle takes approximately eight weeks, whereas the rest of its part samples may take well within another week of full construction. During the process of making an aluminum hardware handle, a die caster will have to use nominal draft to make the output more durable.

Manufacture Die Cast Parts
What is the die casting method? What is great about the die casting method is that it does not leave scrap material rotting in the trash. The die casting method is known to be friendly to the environment compared to other casting methods out there. One of the reasons for this reputation is the fact that scrap material in the die casting process is recycled by reheating and remelting them again. This way, no metal is left to waste and no additional harm is directed into the environment in manufacturing die cast parts.
Furthermore, Manufacturing die cast parts calls to action die cast designers and die cast engineers. Die cast parts can come out in varying shapes and sizes, depending on the specifications of the customer. They have multiple finishing options, including those related to surface, texture, and overall look and feel. Die cast designers can think of ways to make the separation of scrap material more accurate so as not to deform castings. Die cast engineers, on the other hand, can think of ways to make production more receptive to greening techniques, which are fast becoming a trend in industrial businesses these days, as prompted by the declining condition of the planet.

Die Cast Parts: Precious Products of Precision
Die casting is an old process that involves the injection of molten metal into reusable molds, also known as dies, with the use of high pressure. There are different kinds of metal that can be used in the process; they may be ferrous or non-ferrous. Held under high pressure, the chosen metal remains in the chamber until it solidifies or hardens into a net-shaped part and becomes what becomes known as a die cast part. Precision is the key in making die cast parts that are shaped and measured to perfection.
Furthermore, the die casting process is regarded in the metalworking industry as the most versatile one. No other metal casting process existing today allows for a wide array of options in sizes, shapes, design intricacy, measurement preciseness, and dimensional tolerance. There are so many things that can be done using the process in order to satisfy consumer needs for both commercial and industrial purposes. Homes and offices, as well as private and public entities, can benefit greatly from the choices available. The process of making die cast parts is indeed a valuable one.

Aluminum Manufacturing is Essential!
Heavier vehicles require more fuel to accelerate. With that concept, manufacturers choose aluminum because it is light weight. Aluminum manufacturing of auto vehicle parts results to low fuel consumption. Also, aluminum plays an important role not only on land vehicles but also in the aircraft industry because 80% of most planes are made up of aluminum.
Also, it doesn’t require further painting and weight of airplanes because it can resist corrosion. Paint in airplanes is considered as unnecessary weight.
Furthermore, Aluminum is also best known for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is better to use this as a conductor instead of copper. It is the frequently used material in major electric transmission lines. Aluminum part manufacturing somehow is responsible why you can turn on your lights, your computer, and microwave at home.
Because of Aluminum's ductile property and low melting point, it can be processed and formed in many ways. This metal is an excellent reflector of light and heat as well. Most reflectors used in rescue blankets and light fittings are made up of aluminum.
Aluminum foil is very common to each home. This is also made up of aluminum and its non-toxic. Once the food is wrapped, the aroma nor the taste doesn’t come out. That is why it is very ideal to use in packaging products such as pharmaceutical or food. Also, this metal is also used in canning the processed food in food manufacturing plants.
Aluminum manufacturing makes possible some simple but important functions in our daily lives.

Heat Sinks for Your Convenience
Whenever or wherever a need for effective heat dispersal exists, there will undoubtedly be aluminum heat sinks installed. Refrigeration is the foremost industry that employs the use of heat sinks. The aluminum heat sinks produced these days come in various shapes, forms and sizes. The standard heat sink though, contains long fins and thin protruding extensions for directing the heat coming from the processor to the cooler setting inside the heat sink. Majority of today’s heat sinks available in the market are furnished with fans that blow cool air towards the fins to disperse the heat more efficiently. These fans are usually situated on top or in the middle of the fins.
Furthermore, Die Cast Aluminum Heat Sinks are designed in such a way that less machining is necessary. The production rate averages from 250 to 2,500 heat sink parts a day. Another great think with aluminum heat sinks is that they are completely lighter than their stainless steel equivalents, having a specific gravity of 0.10 pounds per cubic inch. They are also easily grounded since aluminum is electrically conductive.
Also, Aluminum heat sinks are used in cell phones, motor housings, circuit boards, refrigerators, airplane parts, satellite components, automotive, lighting parts, microwaves, etc.

Aluminum Heat Sinks
First of all, Aluminum heat sinks are produced by die casting by a Die Casting Company, a process wherein molten metal is forced is forced into mold cavities. The die casting process is beneficial if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized automotive parts with good details. Prior to the introduction of die casting, most heat sinks are made by welding several pieces together and drilling holes, if required, after. This process is time consuming, costly, and labor extensive. Die cast aluminum heat sinks are good as raw parts but they can be powder coated and anodized easily.
Second of all, Die Cast Aluminum heat sinks can be manufactured in a much faster rate—ranging from a few hundreds to a few thousands small to medium sized parts a day—because they can be produced in net shape and there are no welding and drilling methods needed after. Die casting saves time, money, and energy all together.
Thirdly, Die cast aluminum heat sinks are definitely lighter than their stainless steel counterparts, with a specific gravity of about 0.10 pounds per cubic inch. Because they are electrically conductive, aluminum heat sinks are used for radio frequency (RF) and electronic magnetic inductance (EMI) shields. This quality also allows them to be grounded easily.
Aluminum heat sinks are used in airplane parts, circuit boards, microwaves, cellular phones, satellite components, laser components, motor housings, automotive, lighting parts and many more.

Heat Sinks Prevent Damage
First of all, A die casting heat sink is a molded piece of aluminum die casting that can draw the heat away from a processor or source. It does its job by exchanging energies with the source. The process is called thermal contact. Heat sink die castings are widely used in systems or machines that require effective and efficient heat dissipation. Aluminum Die Casting Heat Sinks Keep Machines Working Efficiently.
For instance,refrigeration is a process involving the removal of heat from the enclosed space. This heat is rejected and shifted somewhere, and that’s where the heat sinks come in.
Heat sink die castings are very useful in the thermal management of various electronic devices and systems. Since heat is generated by the electronic devices and the circuitry, this heat must be dissipated so that the machine will stay reliable and to prevent any premature failure or damage.
Aluminum heat sink die castings are very light and have a specific gravity of about 0.10 pounds per cubic inch. Aluminum die casting has other several properties that make it a very good material for manufacturing heat sinks. For one, it is electrically conductive without being magnetic. They can be used as natural grounds for the electronic components that may be getting interferences from outside frequencies.

Customers Prefer Die Cast Parts
Several companies today are contracting die casting companies to produce consumer parts that are to be used for modern industrial purposes. Examples of the die castings used by consumers today are found in cellular phones, computers, automobiles, industrial machines, and even in toys, plumbing components, and kitchen metal parts. Truth is, almost every important thing we use in our daily lives has die castings installed in them; we are just unaware of how these were manufactured and what processes were done to incorporate these die castings in them.
Majority of these are aluminum die castings. This is due to obvious reasons. First, aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on earth. Its supply is almost unlimited. Due to this high supply, aluminum is less expensive compared to other metals. Aluminum is also a very light metal, making the whole production process easier, faster and cheaper. Especially in the manufacture of cars, this light weight of aluminum contributes greatly to the ability of the car to get better fuel economy. Other advantages of aluminum include the fact that it is recyclable, malleable and corrosion-resistant. Given these benefits, it is no wonder why major manufacturing companies are now turning to aluminum as an alternative to other metals such as steel or iron.

Prototype Parts
Stereo Lithography ( SLA )
First of all, SLA is a process that converts a three dimensional (3D) file into a plastic part in a matter of a few hours or days. Kinetic Die Casting has provided many SLA parts to prove a design for our customers. Sometimes a customer needs a sample of what will be produced in the die casting mold to prove "form, fit or function". Many times a simple SLA in hand answers many questions. SLA parts are fragile and can be broken if dropped.
Prototype Casting
Secondly, Prototype castings are produced using a special SLA as a template for a form and then a few castings can be produced. The process is very fast and accurate for prototype custom metal parts. Many times parts can be produced in less than a few weeks. These parts are aluminum and are more sturdy than the plastic SLA parts.
CNC Custom Metal Parts CNC machining of custom metal parts is less expensive when producing more than a few parts for prototype. The 3D model can be translated into a machining program and as many as a few hundred parts can be produced in a week. These parts are machined in metal, usually aluminum but can be steel. Steel is heavier and steel may not be stronger than aluminum.

The History of Die Casting
First, the manufacturing of die cast parts in modern times is a far cry from those first attempts of civilization. Now it is not an outdoor bonfire that we use, but a high tech die casting machine inside a die casting company to melt and mold our metals. Aside from copper, we have discovered more useful metals like aluminum, zinc, tin, brass, magnesium, and lead.
Second, the parts we manufacture out of metal are not anymore crude knives and arrowheads, but precision parts for modern industries like telecommunications and automobiles, mobile phones, fiber optics, computers and laptops, children’s toys and collectibles such as die cast model cars and airplanes.
Furthermore, the process we use is high pressure injection molding and a four step procedure involving lubricants and shots and ejector pins, or a heated-manifold what they call direct-injection die casting procedure which is a less complicated procedure than the first one, no matter how it sounds.
The metal parts that we manufacture nowadays are various things like mobile phone antennas, electronic connectors, industrial housings and fittings, bicycle pedals, sprockets, gas knobs and valves, handles and lids, door hinges, fasteners, doorknobs and zippers.
