The Advantages of Die Cast Heating Plates over Steel. The success of heating plates merely depends on the materials used for its production. More often than not, aluminum and steel are the usual materials used for this. However, it is always said that die casting heat plates are far better as compared to steel ones. And the reasons are obvious in terms of how the die cast ones perform.

Aside from the low cost of die cast heating plates, there are a lot more other reasons why they are better than steel heating plates. First, aluminum’s characteristic of being a good heat and electricity conductor makes it a better option than steel. Another thing is the die castings’ durability. The material is very well known for its efficiency in terms of resistance to corrosion, wear, impact, and even high temperature. Meaning, there are lesser possibilities of needing replacements from time to time. Purchasing one is relatively cheap and still lets you save in the long run for it does not require you to spend more for replacements.

Much more than these, die cast heating plates can be easily produced than steel ones. Usually, in less than a month’s time, one can already be completed. With all these things, it is practically obvious why die cast heating plates serves well their purpose than that of steel plates.

How are Aluminum Military Parts Made. It is not surprising anymore if you find out that even military devices have aluminum parts. Indeed, this is true. The operations of military personnel can never be complete and successful without the use of this material. Some of the most common military parts made in aluminum include armored vehicle fire suppression system housing, missile nose piece, fire sensor housing, pump parts, and a lot more.

However, as compared to other aluminum made materials, aluminum military parts are made differently. It greatly depends on the military device in where it will be attached or used into. In short, aluminum military products are in a made to order basis. Unlike other parts that are easily available in the market, a person or an organization that needs military parts need to order one first before they can have the part they need.

More often than not, an aluminum military part manufacturer works on a specific part in less than a month from the date of order. In most cases, the order can be made in around two week’s time. Once the manufacturing of the part is finished, they are conveniently shipped to whoever made the order. With all these, aluminum military parts are made in a longer period than other devices. This is merely because they need to be carefully crafted to promote efficiency at all times. These military parts cannot afford to become failures.

Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many die casting customers develop new products.

There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to be considered such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, wall thicknesses and material weights.

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes die casting parts in zinc.

Kinetic Die Casting in the past specialized in making Aluminum Die Casting Parts, but over the past five years, we have been making more die casting parts in ZINC ALLOYs. We have a web page dedicated to zinc die casting alloys

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes die casting parts from die casting molds that other die casting companies will not use. If you have a tool that “needs” replacement, call us and we can make your old die casting tool work in our die casting machines.

In 1995, a medical device manufacturing engineer brought over a die casting mold that he made overseas. He had saved over $20,000 making this tool overseas instead of a local die casting company. He had taken this mold to several other die casting companies to get a price for production parts. The tool was made of a material that was not tool steel. The material was soft. The size of the mold was half the size it should have been to produce the parts. The mold had slides that were “pinned” together with soft wire pins. And the mold base was damaged.

I took the die casting mold to a local die casting competitor, who I knew had experience running these types of jobs. He told me he would not touch the job because it would more likely be problems than rewards. He suggested I send the tool back to the customer and say “thanks but, no thanks”.

I decided to try to run this job because I did not really know what to expect. I was surprised at how many problems could occur. Every time a part stuck in the die, the cavity could be damaged by our die casting machine operator from using hardened removal tools. The mold base being under sized caused thermal transfer problems. The slides pulled apart because they stuck in the casting. The gate and runner system washed out because the steel was too soft to maintain the gates. The thermal problems and the gate washout caused porosity in the castings.

Over the years I have re-welded the parting line with H13 tool steel to harden the surfaces. I have replaced the wire pins that were used to hold the slides in the mold with hard steel pins. I have replaced or rather installed pins and bushings in the mold base. I have re-gated the tool three or four times. While making over 30,000 parts on this die casting mold, I have learned several valuable lessons.

Over the past 15 years, Kinetic Die Casting Company has taken on several more of these “problem die casting tool jobs”. I am happy to say that these jobs are only a challenge to my people. All I can say is if you have a difficult die casting mold or die casting tool, bring it to us for great quality parts.
