Die Casting Customers Develop New Products

Posted on 07/22/2010 by admin

Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many die casting customers develop new products.

There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to be considered such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, wall thicknesses and material weights.

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes die casting parts in zinc.

Kinetic Die Casting in the past specialized in making Aluminum Die Casting Parts, but over the past five years, we have been making more die casting parts in ZINC ALLOYs. We have a web page dedicated to zinc die casting alloys

The advantages of Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts over plastic

Posted on 07/22/2010 by admin

The advantages of Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts over plastic. The advantages of Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts over plastic are numerous. First of all Aluminum Lighting Fixtures Parts have been around for decades. And they are also less expensive than other manufacturing processes. They also have good thermal properties. This means that they can be used in applications where high temperature power supplies and bulbs are present. Does plastic have any of these properties?

  • All in all, Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts have better quality than plastic. There is even a wide variety to choose from already. If all aluminum products were welded together before, now they are built and sold in parts. It was because if they were always welded together, the labor was costly, and the shapes and sizes were limited. Now, they can be used in several lighting applications. But let’s not forget the best advantage aluminum has over plastic, aluminum fixtures are electrically conductive, plus they can be grounded.
  • You should always be conscious of the quality of your Aluminum Lighting Parts. One shouldn’t settle for anything less because these parts help in the everyday lives of people, providing light in houses, buildings, tunnels, basically everywhere. They are a necessity. So why waste money and time on plastic parts? They are not safe, and neither do they last long.

    The advantages of Aluminum Military Parts over steel

    Posted on 07/20/2010 by admin

    The advantages of Aluminum Military Parts over steel. There are dozens of new innovative ideas when it comes to creating military parts. And one of such innovations is using aluminum over other kinds of steel. But what exactly are the advantages of aluminum military parts over steel?

  • The use of aluminum in the military can be traced as far 1892 when it was built as part of torpedo boats. Since then, aluminum has been popular in the market for building military parts, especially in combat equipment. But the need for aluminum was actually a result of lack of iron and steel. Alloys were made and certain parts made of aluminum were developed as part of a weapon or a military vehicle.
  • What’s good about aluminum is it has good thermal properties and can withstand humidity. It is also flexible and it offers freedom from low-temperature embrittlement and provides better rigidity. When combined with a different kind of steel, it is also resistant to corrosive waters. This would also mean better protection without the unnecessary bulk, thickness, and weight. And because it weighs less, for the armors with aluminum alloys, mobility is increased. This also applies to armored vehicles, especially in aircrafts.
  • Aluminum has now has various uses. It is even used in commercial highway vehicles. But the aluminum for the military is designed for specific purposes. You could try knowing more about it through research, but one thing is for sure, new uses for aluminum in the military are always being updated.

    Examples of Aluminum Lighting Parts

    Posted on 07/18/2010 by admin

    Examples of Aluminum Lighting Parts. Aluminum Lighting Parts have been manufactured for many decades already. After all, aluminum has proven its worth. This is because Aluminum Lighting fixtures do not cost as much as other manufacturing processes. Examples of Aluminum lighting parts have very good thermal properties. They have been used in applications where there are high temperature power supplies. They can also withstand humidity in the environment.

  • Lighting housings were actually welded together not long ago. But this proved to be too tedious. It took time and it costs more. It also limits the availability of the shapes preferred by clients. But now, they can be made in many shapes and sizes for the varying lighting applications, hence the aluminum lighting parts.
  • Aluminum lighting parts weigh less than other kinds of steel. This means that aluminum would actually cost less. They are also electrically conductive and they also looked better than other metals when powder coated. And plastic parts are not as strong as aluminum.
  • They are used in constructing houses, tunnels, and all other places that need artificial lighting for obvious reasons. Especially places like business establishments, traffic lights, outdoor coach lights, and endcaps on light fixtures. There is even a wide variety to choose from.

    Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Handle Hardware vs Gravity Casting

    Posted on 07/16/2010 by admin

    Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Handle Hardware vs Gravity Casting. Casting is a process done by manufacturers where molten material whether metal or plastic, is placed into a mold. It is then allowed to harden in the mold itself. After some time, it is taken out or broken out to make the fabricated parts. This process is used for creating parts of intricate shape that is too tedious to be done by other methods, like cutting from solid material. Can you imagine hard this can be in making products such as handle hardware? But there are various casting processes such as pressure die casting and gravity casting. Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Handle Hardware vs Gravity Casting is a concept we can all look into.

  • Gravity Casting makes use of the gravity as part of the process. Or in other words, it makes use of the weight of the metal. It is used to fill the cavity which creates a metal part. The advantage of using this process is it does not need to make use of an expensive die casting machine. The tooling cost is less for gravity casting because it need not apply higher pressures to create the parts compared to pressure die casting which uses high pressure injection systems. So there you have it, gravity casting has the edge over pressure die casting in making handle hardware, although it all depends on your desired finished product.
