| Aluminum Die Casting High pressure die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal (aluminum) is injected with a die casting machine under force using considerable pressure into a steel mold or die to form products. Because of the excellent dimensional accuracy and the smooth surfaces, most high pressure die castings require no machining except the removal of flash around the edge and possible drilling and tapping holes. High pressure die casting production is fast and inexpensive relative to other casting processes.There are several aluminum alloys Kinetic Die Casting uses for high pressure die casting parts with different mechanical properties and chemical breakdowns. Aluminum is used in 80-90% of the high pressure die casting alloys available in the world today. In many cases aluminum high pressure die casting can replace steel, increasing strength and reducing part weight. We produce high pressure die casting parts in small sizes of less than an ounce up to large sizes of 10 pounds. We usually can produce and ship high pressure die casting parts within two weeks of receipt of your purchase order if we have the high pressure die casting die already and have completed our first article inspections.High Quantity High Pressure Die Casting Production Thousands of high pressure die casting parts can be produced in a single day with the right die casting tooling and proper high pressure die casting part design. Kinetic Die Casting has produced quantities of 20,000 to 30,000 high pressure die casting parts a week in some cases. We can design or work with your designer to develop high volume high pressure die casting tooling.Low Quantity High Pressure Die casting Production We will produce for our customers low quantities of high pressure die casting parts, as few as 100 high pressure die casting parts. The cost to produce and complete the high pressure die casting parts is higher than the larger quantities, so the high pressure die casting part price is higher. Some die cast part manufacturers will not bother with quantities under several thousand, so this becomes an advantage to Kinetic Die Casting.High Pressure Die Casting Tooling High Pressure die casting molds, sometimes referred to as high pressure die casting tooling, are made from steel hardened to withstand high temperatures and extreme pressures. There are many types of high pressure die casting tooling from simple inexpensive inserts to complete high pressure die casting dies that are dedicated to only one part. Once a high pressure die casting tool is produced, the cost to make high pressure die casting parts is very little. We have an in-house toolmaker who can make your high pressure die casting die or fit your inserts into one of our holders at a very competitive price.
