There are several jobs available in the aluminum metal working industry. Some jobs are listed in job directory web pages, such as, Jobs at Kinetic Die Casting Company. Some aluminum metal working jobs are in other foundries that pour aluminum in sand casting molds, other jobs are sanding the rough edges from aluminum part castings.

Metal working owners need assistance also. There is a web site for business owners called Super Jobs For You. This web site also helps employees as well as CEO’s.

To work in aluminum requires talent. If “talent” exists, it seems to be the capacity for long, concentrated periods of tunnel-vision focus, combined with a unique capacity for digging into their insides to find truths most of us are reluctant to reveal. These special men and women sacrifice outside their interests, relationships, and sometimes their health and sanity to focus on their divine obsession, their talent. If you find a group of these people, some people will rise higher than others. But the primary gift of art is to be able to spend your life in the act of creation. And to do that, you don’t need to be “the best” (whatever THAT means). All you need to do is to get enough talent to be in the top twenty percent in your field, and you’ll do just fine.

So find talent and hire the people who have talent. You will work for a super company of Aluminum Parts and you will have a super job.

The Pros and Cons of Diecasting. The process of diecasting can truly produce wonderful aluminum parts. And although most people know what the wonders that this process can give, some are still clueless about what those are. If you are one of the clueless ones, then here is a simple guide to the pros and cons of this truly unique diecasting process.

One advantage of diecasting is excellent dimensional accuracy. This accuracy, more often than not, depends on casting material. To add to this, aluminum parts that are products of diecasting usually last longer and are more visually appealing as they can be customized according to the whole look of the equipment it was made for.

Another advantage would be smooth cast surfaces as the materials done by the process of diecasting are injected to the casts using highly pressurized injection systems.

The third advantage would be having thinner walls can be created unlike those made from sand and permanent molds. Moreover, threaded inserts, heating elements, and high strength bearing surfaces can be incorporated to the parts.

More advantages like reduction or elimination of secondary machining operations, rapid production rates, and casting tensile strength can be obtained from this process.

And although this process has truly wonderful benefits, there are still some disadvantages that come along with it. For one, the parts made from diecasting are more susceptible to voids because air that can accidentally become entrapped while the casts are being filled.

The number of disadvantages, of course, are dismissable compared to the many benefits that diecasting can give.

Important Metals. Manufacturing a die cast metal part needs equipment like hot-chamber or cold-chamber machines. These machines have the die or mold in them, as well as the injection component for a high pressure mechanism. This will push the molten metal into the die chamber and fill the mold. The machine also has a mechanism to separate and eject the finished product.

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.

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.

In fact, 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.

Business Development Assistance from Kinetic Die Casting -

A few years ago, Kinetic Die Casting helped develop a Chocolate Fountain for a professional caterer. The caterer had talked about this idea for a couple years to many people before contacting Kinetic Die Casting. This catering company owned and rented commercial chocolate fountains to ordinary people. These chocolate fountains they rented out for $200 to $400, depending who was renting them. It was a great new business concept, make an inexpensive chocolate fountain that anyone could purchase and sell them for the price that most companies were renting them for. Their plan was to sell them for less than $400, an amount that most people renting them would gladly pay.

Kinetic Die Casting saved the catering company a lot of money by making aluminum die casting tooling inserts for $6,000 and making 500 inexpensive aluminum parts for them in less than 8 weeks from our first meeting. Six weeks for the tool and two weeks for tooling approval with production and machining of aluminum die casting parts. Their plan was to sell 50,000 units, then develop a larger version for commercial uses.

This was the first “consumer chocolate fountain” in the marketplace. A great idea that apparently, many other companies thought of as well. We do not know how many people this customer told about the idea or how many quotes they asked for prices from, before they found Kinetic Die Casting. They waited too long. A few months after this chocolate fountain hit the market, there were several “cheaper” models sold by larger distributors. They lost this market niche rapidly. The marketplace got flooded with too many chocolate fountains selling for less than $100. They were able to sell less than 1,000 units. Too Many Chocolate Fountains

This example, is an example of how a good idea can either make a “New Business” millions of dollars or how an new business investment fell short of expectations. This was a great idea that still made money, but not as much as it could have made. A great idea, but too slow to the marketplace.

American Businesses who have introduced performance management cultures into their organizations have been found to have higher profits and stronger market performance. Performance management is the terminology being used in industry today to measure performance against business goals and employee competencies. If what these ”facilitators of change” are “selling” is not clearly defined in terms of measurable performance markers or proven sustainable outcomes, then their deliverables are of little use to an organization that is looking for that which can be clearly measured.

Businesses are measuring everything from employees skill levels, how many complaints they receive in a given week to how many sick days does an employee take in a given month if they are engaged in regular exercise and if they are not. Think about this for a moment. If the person you hired to speak cannot report measurable business performance outcomes for their business performance or business training program then this may be where the crux of the problem lies. How can you notice that which you did not plan for? Do you know what success means to you, what it looks like? When it comes to measuring your performance outcomes it is very important that both the business and the facilitator know exactly what deliverables they are looking for and how BOTH of you are going to know if they have been met.
