Why Use Aluminum Die Cast Boxes? Most electronic components would need to be protected by a box that could keep away outside factors like dust, water, moisture, or sudden impact. Aluminum Boxes are the suitable enclosures for such items.

These die cast boxes are made from aluminum die castings and they have die cast lids too. They can also be fitted with die cast covers that can be screwed in place to seal the item away from anything that could damage it.

Aluminum die cast boxes are used as natural ground for electrical components. Since aluminum conducts electricity, the die cast boxes are also used as the grounding planes for the electronic items being kept.

Many die casting companies use these die cast boxes for RF/EMI shielding too. The boxes used are still made using aluminum die-casting. RF (Radio Frequency) or EMI (Electrical Magnetic Inductance) shielding are means of protection or shielding against radio waves and frequencies that may interfere with the electronic components in the die cast box. The box keeps these outside frequencies away from the its content.

As an RF/EMI shield, the aluminum box is electrically conductive and can disperse and absorb any of the outside frequencies and thus, protect the electronic component that is kept inside it.

The aluminum die cast boxes can also be used as enclosures for engine compartments, computer components, computer disk drives, communication devices, motors, car transmission, or electrical junction boxes.

Aside from the natural conductivity of aluminum, it is a choice of die cast manufacturers for their enclosure needs because aluminum die cast parts weigh less than 1/3 the weight of steel parts. That could be more cost effective and it allows easier transport of items.

The Diecasting Metals by a Diecasting Company. Diecasting is a method of manufacturing metals into industrial parts. Some of these metals are zinc, copper, magnesium, aluminum, and lead. These metals are used because they are low melting, ductile, have high electrical and heat conductivity, lightness, hardness, and strength. The diecasting method entails pressure injecting the liquid metal into a die or mold. When the metal hardens, it is taken out of the die mold. A diecasting machine is used for this manufacturing process. It is ideal for mass producing.

Zinc diecast parts can be found in the antennas of mobile phones. It is also used in computers, electronic and electrical equipment. Zinc is ductile, corrosion resistant, economical and easy to cast especially for small parts, has high impact strength and hardness.

Diecast copper is used in an induction motor rotor. Copper is corrosion resistant, has high conductivity, the strength of steel, and good mechanical properties; ideal for this kind of industrial use.

Magnesium diecasting is used in power train mechanical components, in automotive safety components like seat frames and auto instrument panel structures. This is due to its strength-to-weight ratio, meaning that it is a tough metal; and yet it is lighter than steel or aluminum. It is ductile, has high strength, can absorb energy, and yet it gives itself easily to diecast manufacturing.

Aluminum diecast parts are manufactured for automotive machines, aircrafts, and lighting fixtures. It is a lightweight metal that can be formed into complex shapes, and fashioned into thin walls. It has a good electrical conductivity and can retain its strength even when subjected to high temperatures.

Lead and tin is used in pipes due to its qualities of malleability, ductility and non-corrosiveness.

Die Cast Parts: Precious Products of Precision. Because the popularity of die cast parts has reached new heights in recent years, some people think making them is just easy. They couldn’t be more wrong. Die casting company makes parts are made using a process that is strict, accuracy-conscious, and perfection-oriented. This process is no less than die casting, one of the most preferred methods in casting these days because of the vast number of advantages they offer to both consumers and manufacturers.

Around for over a century, 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.

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 Diecasting Alloys. I get questions sometimes on what is the best aluminum alloy for die casting. Here is some information from my web site. Die Casting Aluminum Alloy Information Chart.

Die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under pressure, into a hardened steel die or also called mold. Dies are often water-cooled. Dies are then opened, and the die castings are ejected (many times thousands of parts each day, sometimes only a few hundred). Once the tooling is paid for, die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process.

Some aluminum die casting alloys are better for corrosion resistance, others for shine after polishing and still others are lighter weight for use in aircraft aluminum parts.

Kinetic Die Casting Company

Kinetic Die Casting Company focuses on:

1. low quantity aluminum parts production and
2. fast aluminum parts delivery

Our customers need competitively priced aluminum die cast parts. Our customers expect us to ship those parts on time; free of defects. Most of our customers require die castings that we produce to a “net shape” and shipped. We can in many cases Add value to our customer’s products. Added value would be secondary operations such as machining, powder coating, painting, plating or assembly and packaging.

Our customers, these OEM manufacturers may need over 100,000 of these aluminum parts a year or as few as 100 aluminum parts a year. Kinetic Die Casting focuses on low quantity production, most production runs are quantities of fewer than 5,000 aluminum parts.

Some of our aluminum parts have a production rate of 100 aluminum parts a day and others can be produced at the rate of 1,000’s of aluminum parts a day. Kinetic Die Casting will typically ship orders of 5,000 parts..

Kinetic Die Casting, Inc. (KDC) was established in 1994 at the current location. Kinetic Die Casting is an American Jobshop Aluminum Die Casting Company. A jobshop aluminum die casting company produces aluminum parts for OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for their products. A Die Casting Company uses a process in which molten aluminum is injected with a die casting machine under force using considerable pressure into a steel die cast mold or die cast die to produce aluminum die cast parts.
