RF/EMI shielding Die Casting Parts. Die Casting Parts RF/EMI Properties.
Aluminum is one of the most abundant “metallic” materials on earth. Aluminum is also one of the most electrically conductive materials. Because aluminum is electrically conductive, it is a natural shield for radio frequency waves.
Aluminum Heat Sink Die Casting
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces many types of aluminum die casting parts. Many times, an aluminum housing or enclosure was made from aluminum because of the natural electrical conductivity of aluminum.
The picture at the top of this newsletter is an electronic enclosure that was die cast in A413 aluminum because of its electronic EMI/RF properties. Perhaps, you should consider aluminum if you are thinking of designing a new electronic enclosure.

Die Casting Alloys
What is die casting? Die casting is the procedure where melted metal alloy, like aluminum or zinc, is pushed by a piston into a steel die and left under high pressure until the metal hardens. This is how metal parts for automobile die casting, heatsink die casting, and roof tile plates.
There are definite metals that are utilized as die casting alloys. Alloys utilized in die casting are combinations that hold two or more metals. Only metals which do not hold iron are utilized as die casting alloys. Such metals are zinc, aluminum, copper, magnesium, lead, and tin. Zinc is the simplest to die cast among these alloys because it is very sturdy, has the highest ductility has a low melting point, and has a high impact strength. It is the best for creating tiny metal parts. Aluminum is best recognized to be lightweight. What makes it an excellent die cast alloy is that it has high dimensional stability which is crucial in fabricating thin walls for the metal parts. Aluminum also has high corrosion resistance which helps extend the life of the metal parts. Copper has the highest mechanical characteristics among the die casting alloys. It also has high dimensional stability and high corrosion resistance like aluminum, and has high hardness as well. Magnesium is the metal which is the simplest to machine. It has an exceptional strength to weight ratio which is an essential property for building metal parts. Lead and tin are the first metals to be die casted. They are also corrosion resistant and have high densities that cause them to be strong.
These metal alloys have their own properties that make a unique metal part the way it is. Having the right alloy for die casting is necessary for the product to come out right.

500 Die Casting Parts Every Day
How many parts can we make a day? 500 Die Casting Parts a Day.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes many types of die casting parts. In most cases we make a part a minute. The larger or heavier a die casting part, the slower the production rate. Some of these parts are large roof tile mold castings that are 17″ long.
Aluminum Roof Tile Mold
These roof tile molds are produced one part every two or three minutes or about 250 parts a day in a single shift.
Some of these parts are small clips used in lighting fixtures that are only 1/8″ long. In one case, we make over 3,000 water pump housings in a single day.
Water Pump Housing
Some of our customers order fewer than 500 parts so we produce their purchase order in a single day. Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company to purchase your aluminum parts or zinc parts today. Buy thousands or fewer than 100 parts. Call 818-982-9200.

Different Die Casting Alloys for Different Purposes
Different Die Casting Alloys for Different Purposes. There are several die casting alloys that can be utilized to manufacture high grade and tremendously strong metallic parts like Aluminum die casting. Die casting requires the utilization of liquefied alloys which will be injected into molds to create metal parts.
Die casting alloys utilized for metal casting ought to have lower melting point. Alloys that can be thawed simply allows for faster production procedures and guards the die or mold from being injured.
For little metal parts, one of the finest die casting alloys that can be utilized is zinc. Zinc alloy is simpler to cast and have better ductility than other materials. It can also attain high impact strength. Most significantly, zinc alloy can be plated easily.Furthermore, you can use hot chamber zinc die casting, which also impacts the price of the part.
Aluminum on the other hand is very lightweight, simple to melt, and have better artistic qualities. By employing aluminum as die casting material, manufacturers can produce parts at a faster rate and can make parts like aluminum die cast boxes. That is because aluminum is very stable at high temperature and will cool faster thus reducing the threat of contamination and oxidation. Because of these, aluminum alloys can oppose corrosion better than other materials.
Other kinds of die casting alloys that are appropriate to use for high pressure and high temperature castings are magnesium, copper, lead and tin. Magnesium is the lightest alloy that can be utilized for casting while copper offer greater strength and high resistance to corrosion. Magnesium alloy is also inexpensive and easier to machine after production. Tin and lead on the other hand can be used to produce near finished parts.

Compare Extruded Aluminum Heat Sinks to Die Castings
Aluminum is the preferred material used to produce heat sinks because of aluminum’s thermal conductive properties, the weight of the many aluminum alloys and, the natural electrical conductivity of aluminum.
EXTRUSIONS AS HEAT SINKS:
Initially, heat sinks were produced as extrusions. The extrusion process is to heat aluminum to a point just before melting temperature and then “squeeze” or extrude the aluminum through a form creating long aluminum sections that will need to be cut into the proper part lengths. Then the part is machined for mounting holes and other features. There is wasted aluminum because the material cut away cannot be used in the extrusion process again. Also, many times the lengths have left over amounts that are too short to be used to make parts.
DIE CASTINGS AS HEAT SINKS:
In the die casting process, we inject aluminum into a die forming the heat sink. As a die casting part, the mounting holes and special features can be die cast into a “net shape” part. There is not wasted aluminum in the die casting process because the excess aluminum is remelted and used to form additional parts. Also in the die casting process, there are no “left over” sections.
ADVANTAGES OF DIE CASTING HEAT SINKS:
1. Machining holes and features is not necessary saving money in the production process.
2. Time is saved in manufacturing because machining is not necessary.
3. No wasted aluminum.
