Diecasting Metals

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

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.

Aluminum Manufacturing

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Aluminum Manufacturing is Essential. Aluminum is the thirteenth element in the periodic table. Aside from nitrogen and oxygen, this metal is one of the most abundant elements that can be found in the Earth’s crust. This metal is an important component in manufacturing transport vehicles, building construction, packaging and many more. Kinetic Die Casting Company is an aluminum parts manufacturing company.

Heavy 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.

Furthermore, it doesn’t require further painting and weight of airplanes because it can resist corrosion. Paint in airplanes is considered as unnecessary weight.

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.

Due to its 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.

Kinetic Die Casting Company

Monday, July 28th, 2008

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.

  • Our typical production order quantity is from 300 parts to 5,000 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..

  • Delivery less than four (4) weeks and frequently less than two (2) weeks.
  • 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.

    Steel Parts verses Aluminum Parts

    Friday, July 4th, 2008

    Aluminum Die Casting Parts
    Aluminum parts that are die cast are less expensive than steel. Steel parts weigh three times (3x) more than aluminum parts. So, the cost of materials by weight of the part is less. The cost to ship aluminum die casting parts is less than steel parts because of the weight differences. Fabricating a steel part is more labor intensive and time consuming than a die casting aluminum part. The die casting aluminum part can be used as is but a welded steel part will need a paint process to make them acceptable.

    Aluminum Die Casting Part Design
    Aluminum die casting parts can be designed to be very strong. Some aluminum die casting parts have strengthening ribs and gusset radii to increase the strength of the aluminum part. Aluminum die casting parts can be designed to be as strong, or stronger than a steel part.

    Aluminum Die Casting Part Production
    Aluminum die casting parts can be produced at the rate of over 1,000 parts in a day of die casting manufacturing production. The steel fabrication of parts can take as much as 10 days to make 1,000 parts. The cost per part as an aluminum die casting part is less than $3.00. A comparable steel part will cost about $5.00 each steel part and the wait time is ten times (10x) longer than an aluminum part.
