Extruded aluminum heatsinks are made by heating aluminum to the point of a semi-solid state. Then this aluminum is pushed (extruded) through an extrusion die. These aluminum forms have the profile of the die it was pushed through, much like …

Why are Aluminum Die Casting Parts better than Zinc Diecast Parts
Thank you for reading our newsletter. Please feel free to make a comment below about this article. You can also visit our facebook page to see other topics we are sharing with our customers. If you have suggestions for future articles, please send them to us.
Here is a comparison of aluminum parts and zinc parts:
Die Casting Tooling
A die casting mold made for an aluminum part runs in a cold chamber die casting machine. The die casting alloys aluminum and zinc both run in a cold chamber die casting machine. So if the die casting mold is made for aluminum, it will produce parts in zinc or aluminum. A zinc hot chamber die will not make parts in aluminum.
Die Casting Part Weight
Although an aluminum die casting mold will make parts in zinc or aluminum, the cost of the zinc parts will be higher. By volume, zinc materials weigh about twice as much as aluminum alloys. The costs per pound of the two die casting alloys are almost equal, so the cost for zinc parts is significantly higher than the cost for aluminum parts.
Electrical Conductivity
Aluminum is the third most electrically conductive metal after gold and copper. Therefore, aluminum is the better choice for EMI/RF shielding and for electrical grounding. Zinc rates far below aluminum in electrical conductivity.
Thermal Conductivity
Most electrical heat sinks are produced in aluminum alloy because it is superior to zinc alloy in thermal conductivity.
Recyclability
Aluminum is the most recycled metal in the world. All aluminum die casting alloys are made from recycled aluminum products.

Why are Aluminum Die Casting Parts better than Zinc Diecast Parts
Aluminum Heat Sinks Keeps Things Cool
Aluminum Heat Sinks Keeps Things Cool. A lot number of products currently in the market and currently in production today make use of parts known as Aluminum Heatsinks. These heat sinks are used in many appliances and electronic devices today and their main purpose is to remove or divert the heat generated by the electric current going through the wires or by other components of the product. This is placed so that the more important components of the machine will not be affected by the heat and would function normally.
Aluminum is used for this because of its characteristics. First and foremost, it is one of the most strong and durable materials. It is a fact that aluminum is just as strong if not stronger than steel. Secondly, it is one third of the weight of steel, this is important so that the Aluminum Heat sinks will not add too much weight on the product. It is also flexible, easy to use and very cheap as it can be mined almost anywhere. Lastly, aluminum can be used in die casting.
Furthermore, a popular method of mass producing parts and other products is known as die casting. This method of manufacturing starts with liquefying the aluminum by exposing it in intense heat. The resulting liquefied material is then placed into die cast molds. These molds will give the aluminum its new shape once it has cooled down and hardened back to its solid state. After doing some finishing touches and fine tuning of the product, the results are identical, high quality Aluminum Heatsinks.

The Different Types of Die Cast Tooling
The Different Types of Die Cast Tooling. Die cast tooling are the dies and the molds used for die casting. These die cast tools many forms namely Trim Dies used for die cast parts, Die Cast Family Mold Tooling, Complete Class “A” Die Cast Mold Tooling or Die Tooling, Unit Die Tooling, Prototype Die Cast Tooling Inserts and Die Cast Tooling Inserts.
The die cast tooling inserts since among all the die cast tooling, these are the least expensive. These actually are just enough steel to create cavities plus extra steel to put up with the fluctuations of the temperature of molten metal injecting under force. To extend the tooling life, the inserts should be heat treated to reach their proper hardness, not too hard and not too soft. Making it too soft will cause it to easily get damaged or easily wear from erosion and making it too hard, on the other hand could result to the steel cracking due to high temperature. Toolmakers who do not use enough steel in the inserts may reduce its potential life.
Furthermore, the die casting tooling inserts need to be supported by a type of holder so that metal could be injected into it and also to provide a sort of a path for the metal to pass and go in while the gases escape. These gases should be removed because it can produce porosity. This holder of inserts are called unit die, family die or mold base.
You will need to ask expert toolmakers to do this job for you. You just simply need to look online for you to find the expert that could help you. Varying websites of different die casting companies can be found in the internet. All you need is to choose which is the one nearest you.
