Examples of Die Casting Magnesium Parts. Magnesium is one of the metal alloys that are commonly used for die casting metal parts. It is one of the lightest metals used in die casting and it has really good properties. Some of these properties include its ability to absorb or react to energy elastically, its resistance to dents, and its ability to withstand repeated cycles with low stress. Its weight is also comparable to that of molded plastic parts, but it certainly is much more durable and preferable especially when heat is concerned. Read on to know more about the examples of die casting magnesium parts.

Examples of die casting magnesium parts application include parts used for automobile, materials used for construction, parts used for fixtures inside the house, and many, many more. Here is a list of cast magnesium parts that people commonly use:

- Cameras also have little die cast magnesium parts.

Die cast materials are found everywhere as seen from the examples of die casting magnesium parts. Though some companies are looking into molded plastic, die cast metals are still preferable for their strength.

Jackson Die Casting LLC plans to expand its Madison County manufacturing facility, adding nearly five dozen jobs, the company and state officials announced today.

The high-pressure aluminum die casting company said its $4.5 million expansion in Jackson, Tenn. should result in the creation of 58 jobs over a three-year period.

“We’re fortunate to have booked significant new business from current and new customers, requiring us to invest significantly in equipment capacity and increase our employment,” said Bob Tamburrino, president of parent company Key 3 Casting LLC.

Key 3 Casting, based in Dallas, produces metal castings for industrial, aerospace, public infrastructure and automotive applications at the Jackson plant.

Hiring for the new positions will begin after Jan. 1, the company said.

Daniel L. Twarog, President of NADCA visited the west coast to NADCA Chapter 30 in Los Angeles California on November 29, 2011 to give the western die casting companies an update on the “State of the Industry” of die casting in the United States of America. The following is information taken from the NADCA website (www.diecasting.org)

The die casting industry primarily depends on the state of the overall economy. The economic trends and activities of the country are reflected in the direction and strength that the die casting industry takes. Macro-economically, the Unites States has not rebounded out of the last recession with the pace that would be expected. At the beginning of 2011, it was expected that many of our previous economic woes were behind us as orders for manufactured products increased. The pace of the economy slowed and has lost steam in a positive direction.

The stalled economy continues to take its toll on manufacturing in the United States. The number of die casting operations in the Unites States have dropped by 50% since 1960. NADCA estimates that the number of facilities will continue to fall. However, the rate will be slower over the next ten years because of current capacity shortages and the growth predicted in the need for automotive die castings.

Despite the drop in number of facilities, there has been a steady growth in the pounds of die castings shipped in the United States. Technology and productivity have been key features in the remaining die casting operations.

Two market estimates and forecasts were made. First, the Die casting company CEO’s see 2012 as a growth year. In the October, 2011 barometer, all participants forecast the level of business in 2012 as good as 2011 or better, with increases up to 25%. The composite calculation for aluminum and zinc estimated 9-10% gains in 2011 and 5-7% growth forecast for 2012. The ‘rolled up’ end market forecasts see growth in 2012 also.

Our customer recently sent us a die casting tool to produce die casting parts. He recently experienced a reject from his customer and he needed our help.

Honeywell Aerospace (aerospace company) uses a quality inspection document, EMS 230, to accept or reject high pressure die casting parts. Our customer supplied die casting parts to Honeywell and these castings were rejected for “Cold Shots”.

Cold Shots are imperfections in the metal flow into die casting parts due to the metal freezing or solidifying prior to the metal filling the die casting cavity. It usually happens when the metal flow is limited or the metal is not the proper temperature or the die casting mold is not the proper temperature. As a great quality die casting company, we solve these issues every week. We control the metal temperature with thermocouples and we control the die temperature in our die casting process.

It can also happen if the die casting tooling or the die casting part is poorly designed. The die casting process needs metal to flow rapidly into the die casting tool to make solid die casting parts. Design of the tool or part can limit that fluid process.

This is what happened in this case:

* The die casting tooling gates into a section of the die casting part of about 0.030″ thick wall thickness. This is thinner than recommended for the metal to flow into the die casting. This restricts the metal flow.
* There are sections of the die casting that are over .200″ thick. Consistent wall thicknesses are critical for sound die castings.
* The prior die casting company added overflows and vents that worked against each other by filling the tool from two or three directions. These gates, vents and overflows created turbulence in the shot process which cause the metal to cool prematurely.

What did Kinetic Die Casting Company do for our new customer?
* We made some fast tooling changes to improve the metal flow in the die casting tool.
* We made great quality die casting parts for our new customer.
* We did this in less than three weeks for our happy customer.

Examples of Die Casting Handle Parts. Die casting is a process wherein molten metal or metal compound is pressure-cast into a cavity to form various metal parts. Materials used in die casting are mainly alloys of the following metals: zinc, tin, copper, pewter, aluminum, lead, and magnesium. Die casting is very popular in the production of small metal parts or small machines. Plastic parts are also making their way into the parts market but many still prefer metal parts as it is more durable and produces less carbon footprint. The following are some of the examples of die casting handle parts and their applications.

Die cast metal parts have a certain charm that you just can’t find in plastic molded parts. The above mentioned examples of die casting handle parts prove that metals are still the number one choice if you want a more modern and elegant look in any architecture. It may be on the expensive side but, quality- and aesthetically-wise, die cast materials present a great deal.
