Complete Class “A” Die Casting Die or Mold Tooling
Complete die cast tooling is the easiest method to get more than 100,000 parts from the life of the mold or die cast die tool. Complete die cast tooling will fit directly into a die casting machine without the need for a separate mold base, die or insert holder, or master holder. It takes more time than unit die tooling to set this type of die into a die casting machine, but this type of die will generally produce better quality parts and get more die life.
Complete die cast die or die cast molds will also more likely have waterlines to speed up the cycle time of production, saving the customer’s money.
Complete dies will frequently include a trim die that will speed up the production process and save as much as 15% on the part price.
Complete die cast dies are also easier to preserve and store than other forms of die cast tooling.
Finally, a complete die cast tooling package is directly transferable to another die casting company, frequently without any expensive tooling modifications.
When you send us your total die cast tooling, we will maintain that tooling to a high standard. You will receive as many parts as possible from that tool.

Sand Casting Compared with Permanent Mold Die Casting
Sand casting compared with Permanent Mold Die casting
Sand casting and die casting are both the manufacturing process to produce cast parts by pouring molten liquid metal into the Permanent Mold, which contains a empty cavity of the desired design, and then allowed to solidify. The main difference between sand casting and Permanent Mold die casting is in the mold.
The sand casting is a cast part produced by shaping a mold from a sand mixture and pouring molten liquid metal into the cavity in the mold. The mold is then cooled until the metal has solidified.It is expendable mold casting.
Die casting is the process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities (which are machined into dies). Most die castings are made from nonferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, and aluminum based alloys, but ferrous metal die castings are possible. It is non-expendable mold casting.
Non-expendable mold casting differs from expendable processes in that the mold is not required to be reformed after each production cycle.
The sand casting is one of the most well-liked and simplest types of casting that has been used for centuries. Sand casting allows for miniscule batches to be made compared to permanent mold casting and at a very tolerable cost. Not only does this method allow manufacturers to create products at a low cost, but there are other benefits to sand casting, such as very small size operations.
The die casting method is especially suited for applications where many small to medium sized parts are needed with good detail, a fine surface quality and dimensional consistency. In recent years, injection-molded plastic parts have been substituted for some die castings because they are cheaper and lighter. Plastic parts are a practical alternative if hardness is not required and little strength is needed.

NADCA State of the Industry Report to Chapter 30
Daniel L. Twarog, President of NADCA visited the west coast to NADCA Chapter 30 in Los Angeles California on November 29, 2011 to give the western die casting companies an update on the “State of the Industry” of die casting in the United States of America. The following is information taken from the NADCA website (www.diecasting.org)
State Of The Industry 2011
The die casting industry primarily depends on the state of the overall economy. The economic trends and activities of the country are reflected in the direction and strength that the die casting industry takes. Macro-economically, the Unites States has not rebounded out of the last recession with the pace that would be expected. At the beginning of 2011, it was expected that many of our previous economic woes were behind us as orders for manufactured products increased. The pace of the economy slowed and has lost steam in a positive direction.
The stalled economy continues to take its toll on manufacturing in the United States. The number of die casting operations in the Unites States have dropped by 50% since 1960. NADCA estimates that the number of facilities will continue to fall. However, the rate will be slower over the next ten years because of current capacity shortages and the growth predicted in the need for automotive die castings.
Despite the drop in number of facilities, there has been a steady growth in the pounds of die castings shipped in the United States. Technology and productivity have been key features in the remaining die casting operations.
Two market estimates and forecasts were made. First, the Die casting company CEO’s see 2012 as a growth year. In the October, 2011 barometer, all participants forecast the level of business in 2012 as good as 2011 or better, with increases up to 25%. The composite calculation for aluminum and zinc estimated 9-10% gains in 2011 and 5-7% growth forecast for 2012. The ‘rolled up’ end market forecasts see growth in 2012 also.

Casting Aluminum Tooling Works
The cost-efficient and timely production of a wide array of required equipment components owes much to die casting tooling. This is a critical performance area wherein the die casters and the designers have to put their heads together in product development and design. At this early stage, issues centered around tooling and production have to be fixed along with the identification of the many trade-offs that may be taken to effectively control the total project costs.
One excellent example of the successful collaboration of designers and die casters in Castings Aluminum Tooling is in the automobile business. Through their joint efforts, aluminum auto parts have been successfully planned and developed so much so that today aluminum now is the No. 2 material used in automobiles. The main impetus that inspired the designers–die casters’ collaborative efforts is the rising cost of fuel which spurred consumers’ renewed interest in lighter, more fuel-efficient and environment-friendly cars.
Among the Castings Aluminum Tooling factors pondered in aluminum auto components is the estimate that reducing car weight by 10% could result in consumption by 6% to 8%. Another consideration which may be parlayed in future Castings Aluminum Tooling is that a car weight reduction of 50% may be realized if the body of an automobile is made of aluminum. Substantial fuel savings would be achieved in such a shift, which was reckoned at about 3,000 liters saved for the average lifetime of a car, one Castings Aluminum Tooling endeavor that should be most welcome in these oil-crisis prone times.

Auto Parts and Car Parts
Auto Parts and Car Parts. Automotive parts. Car Parts or Auto parts in aluminum are a third the weight of steel parts. Aluminum auto parts are produced from a few hundred to thousands of auto parts a day. Many features of the automotive part are manufactured “net shape” to save the cost of wasted materials and the additional labor of machining. Mounting holes are usually produced into the aluminum auto part during fabrication also saving cost. Many of the primary “tier one” automotive manufacturers have their own manufacturing plants. They also purchase aluminum automotive parts from companies such as Kinetic Die Casting. Auto Parts and Car Parts 800-524-8083 and ask for sales.
