Yoder Industries began as a privately owned and operated manufacturer of aluminum and zinc die castings. Our company was incorporated in 1956 under the sole ownership of J.B. Yoder.
Yoder Industries, Inc., was first located in downtown Dayton, Ohio. In 1956, J.B. Yoder designed and built the first die cast machine used by Yoder Industries and produced inflator bodies for navy life preservers (a product Yoder still manufacturers today).Yoder Industries, Inc., was first located in downtown Dayton, Ohio.

American Auto Die Castings
Processing Motor Vehicle Die Cast Parts. Many American automotive parts companies are now using die casting. It is a metal-working procedure which is intended for large scale productions. Motor vehicle die cast parts are known for ease in production and performance against multi-directional stresses. These parts are used as stationary parts like the vehicle frame and engine fixtures. They are also intended for mechanical parts like gears, engines and chains.
Die casting and its variants always compress molten or semi-molten metals. Hence, pressure and temperature are always important factors. As for motor vehicle die cast parts, they are usually created through cold chamber die casting. The type of casting depends on the type of metal. Majority of metal products in the automotive industry utilize aluminum and magnesium. Cold chamber method is the one appropriate for such high-melting point metals.
The metal is melted in a separate furnace. As it is cooling down, it will be transported to the dies, which contain the target shape. Depending on the strength specifications and type of metal, pressures between 10 to 175 mPa will be maintained until the metal solidifies. This can produce a wide range of shapes from the simple to the intricate: rods, bars, billets, planes and fixtures. They require little or no post machining because die casting results in precise shapes and thickness.
Motor vehicle die cast parts include engine blocks and some gears, which are mostly made of aluminum and magnesium casts. The combination of these two metals is very tough, even when subjected to repeated load and high temperatures.

More About The Die Casting Production Process
Exploring the Process of High Pressure Die Casting. The process of high pressure die casting is one of the fastest and cost effective methods in shaping metal products. Many manufacturing companies in the fields of automotive, aircraft and electronics use die casting as the primary metal working procedure. It produces high quality products with strong yield and fine finish. It provides strength treatment which is far better than forging, extrusion or sand casting.
More About The Die Casting Production Process
The procedure involves two dies: the cover die half and the ejector die half. Between them is the mold cavity. When the dies are fitted together, the plane of intersection is called the parting line. During metal working, molten metal is forced to the mold through an opening in the cover die. This is done with very high speeds, due to the high pressure of injection. These are called “shots.” While the metal is still in liquid form, extreme pressure is applied, compressing the dies. This will be maintained until the metal solidifies.
The process of high pressure die casting is further divided into two groups: cold chamber and hot chamber processes. Basically, both employ high pressure shooting and compression of the molten metal. However, hot processes can only be used on metals with lower melting point. These include copper. Cold processes are used on high melting point metals like aluminum and magnesium. Cold processes take a relatively longer time before the shot is compressed at the dies.
In both methods, the process of high pressure die casting is consistent in producing tough products. They are highly resistant to torsional and tensional stresses, making die casting popular in multiple industries.

Die Casting Parts Porosity
Kinetic Die Casting Company sales@kineticdc.com is experienced in Solving Quality Problems of Porosity in Die Casting Parts. Porosity in die casting parts is an important issue in metal-working. Porosity, in the science of materials, refers to the presence of gaps or bubbles inside a metal structure. High porosity tends to weaken the final product. Metal parts production companies are given certificates depending on strength, durability and reliability of their products. Hence, this defect must be minimized.
To fully understand this concept, you must be aware of the metal-shaping process behind it. Die casting is a method that uses high pressure to shape a molten metal alloy. For example, zinc is heated on a furnace to reach its melting point. Then, it will be shot to fill the gap between two die halves. That gap is the mold, which contains the shape and details of the final product. As the lump of zinc solidifies, pressure of up to 175 mega Pascal is exerted through the dies. If gases are accidentally mixed during this speedy process, they will result in porosity in die casting parts.
Most of the time, it is impossible to achieve a 100% pure metal piece if die casting is used. Porosity in die casting parts can be minimized by thoroughly cleaning the dies before operations. Pressures and temperatures must also be matched with the type of metal and intended purpose of the part.
