Unit Dies for Die Casting Tooling
Unit Die Tooling is an inexpensive way to make Die Casting Parts. There are several reasons why unit dies are less expensive, we will start with the cost of new die casting tooling.
New Tooling – Class A Tool
To make die castings we need to make tooling first. A complete class A Tool usually consists of a set of cavity inserts weighing about 30 pounds and a mold base that weighs about 1500 pounds. This mold base usually costs about $8,000 to $12,000 in steel and labor. A complete class A die can cost more than $100,000.
New Tooling – Unit Die Tool
A unit die consists of a set of cavity inserts weighing about 30 pounds, a unit die weighing about 150 pounds and a master unit die holder weighing about 1200 pounds. The master unit die holder stays in the die casting machine. One master holder can work with hundreds of unit die holders. The typical tool cost for a unit die is usually less than $40,000.
Part Cost – Class A Tool
Since a Class A Tool in larger than a unit die, it takes a four to eight hours to set the tool in a die casting machine. Since it is also heavier it takes one to two hours to preheat the tool to optimum operating temperature.
Part Cost – Unit Die Tool
A unit die can be set in a die casting machine in less than two hours. The preheat time for a unit die tool is less than an hour.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has dozens of unit dies waiting for cavities to install. We purchased 10 pallets of unit dies during the Drumheller Industries Die Casting Auction. WE will be happy to mount your cavity in our holder to save you time and money on your next production run.
Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum a Perfect Choice
Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum a Perfect Choice. Every die casting company clearly makes it a point to highlight the advantages of aluminum. That is why it has become the ideal choice for the commerce in this time and age. Why is that so? Just picture if the car itself is created of iron parts. Do you believe the cargo carriers will be able to transfer a bunch of cars without any problems at all? The answer to everything is essentially easy. The aluminum is one of the very few lightest metals recognized in the world.
For an automobile company, casting the aluminum offers a decrease in the weight of the whole car. This is the reason which has smoothed the way for the substitution of the iron parts. The same holds true for both the convey and aerospace business. The casting of the melted aluminum alloys into the metal molds is also very economical. They are likewise too practical to use for any die casting company processes. Apply gravity, high pressure, or low pressure die casting and you will still come up with the best finished surfaces and close tolerance. The metal is not hard to shape which thus prevents too much application of machining.
The die casting companies in Australia and the United States are all sticking to one common thought and that is to utilize the use of the aluminum alloys to attain the best finishing products! After all, who doesn’t desire to save much on time, effort, and cost for the whole production procedure?
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures aluminum and zinc die casting parts. Samples of KDC’s work include die cast speaker parts, aluminum tile plates, and other die cast metal parts. If you would like to have a quote please visit our website: Kinetic Die Casting Company
NADCA – North American Die Casting Association
Kinetic Die Casting Company is a corporate member of the North American Die Casting Association NADCA. We have been corporate members for a very long time. The North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) is the sole trade and technical association of the die casting industry. NADCA membership consists of both corporate and individual members from over 950 companies located in every geographic region of the U.S.
These companies include custom die casters (who produce die castings for sale to others), captive die casters (who produce castings for their own use in manufacturing a product), and suppliers to the die casting industry. NADCA members can be found in every type of community across the nation, representing both rural and urban interests.
The North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) represents the voice of the die casting industry. NADCA is committed to promoting industry awareness, domestic growth in the global marketplace and member exposure. Headquartered in Wheeling, IL, the association is comprised of both individual members and corporate members located throughout United States, Canada and Mexico.
The North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) also has an extensive government relations program based in Washington D.C. The program provides government affairs services to NADCA members. NADCA relies on the services of Waterman & Associates to act as the ears, eyes and voice of the die casting industry at the federal level.

The Basics of Die Casting Alloys
The Basics of Die Casting Alloys. Die-casting is very comparable to permanent mold casting, only that the metal which is pushed into the mold experiences higher pressures which total to 10-210Mpa (1,450-30,500) psi. Because of this, the exterior of the die-cast is very fine; the dimensions are also much more precise at 0.2% of casting dimension.
Die-casting may be done in two different ways, either utilizing a cold chamber method or by employing a hot chamber procedure. Both vary in the time exposure of the melt which certain metals need either more or less. Cold chamber procedures are typically utilized for aluminum and copper, also counting its fellow die casting alloys. The metal is located in the cold chamber for each shot and requires less time exposure of the melt. Hot chamber methods normally are utilized for metals that have low melting points and high fluidity. This includes zinc, tin and lead. The die cavity is located permanently in the melted metal. The inlet port of the pressurizing cylinder is exposed as the plunger moves to its opening position. This permits a different charge of melted metal to fill the cavity.
Aluminum, Zinc and Copper are the die casting alloys that are chiefly utilized in die-casting for a variety of reasons. Die-castings are restricted from 20kg to a maximum that is reliant on the metal. Large castings typically have superior porosity problems because of the trapped air and the premature hardening of the die-cast cavity. In essence, many things must considered when performing die-casts in order to make certain the excellence of the metals. Die casting alloys guarantee excellent quality and a great finish.

Die Casting Aerospace Parts
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes several types of Die Casting Aerospace Parts. These aerospace die casting parts are used for many types of purposes. Some of these parts are used on many types of aircraft, such as: airplanes, jet planes or helicopters.
Aircraft manufacturers typically specify aluminum die casting to make the aerospace parts because aluminum is lightweight and inexpensive as well as very strong.
- Lightweight – Aluminum weighs only .098 pounds each cubic inch of material as compared to zinc which weighs about 2.44 pounds each cubic Inch.
- Inexpensive – Aluminum is the third most common element on earth, so it is more available than other materials. Aluminum is used in over 80% of all die castings produced in the world.
- Strong – Aluminum parts can be geometrically designed to be stronger than steel. Look up “aluminum is stronger than steel” on Google to see the results.
These aerospace parts range from: airplane engine piston heads, airplane distributor cap housings, fuel system parts, detention ring parts, cargo loading housings, lighting fixture parts, electronic enclosures, electronic housings, motor housings and various other aluminum die casting parts.
The companies that trust us to purchase their die casting parts from Kinetic Die Casting Company are many.
