Die Casting Aluminum Military Parts vs Extrusions
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Military Parts vs Extrusions. Die casting is a process wherein molten aluminum is injected into a mold with great pressure. Afterwards, they are then set to water cool. When they are opened, they are then ejected. Aluminum military parts are created through this simple and inexpensive manufacturing process. As compared to other processes like sand casting, gravity casting, forging, extrusion, plastic injection moldings and stamping, die casting is inarguably the most efficient process for molding aluminum military parts.
Pressure die casting parts are more recyclable as opposed to forgings and extrusions. Aluminum die casting is efficient and economical when it comes to maintenance, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repair for extending its life. It is non toxic and practical, and can readily be used again and again.
Pressure die casting is produced faster compared to extrusions. It has more net shape, which means that more features, depressions and angles can be placed in one operation. You can create more complex shapes, have thinner sheets, and more accurate dimensions with high pressure die casting for aluminum military parts. Holes can be cast in place rather than machining them later, adding to a higher production cost. There will be fewer waste products in pressure die casting aluminum military parts as opposed to extrusions.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting. Pressure die casting is a manufacturing process used to create aluminum brackets, parts, chassis and more. These metal parts can be seen almost anywhere and everywhere, making them integral in our day to day lives. Pressure die casting initially melts the aluminum metal. The molten metal is then injected into a mold under great pressure. Afterwards, it is set aside to cool for a while. When the Mold is opened, it reveals the finished die casting. Because of this fast and easy process, thousands of parts can be made every day.
Gravity casting uses the similar manner as sand casting. It uses the force of gravity rather than high pressure to fill the mold with the molten aluminum metal. Gravity casting is most fitting for mass production and full mechanized casting. One advantage over gravity casting is that they usually give a better surface finish and mechanical properties, due to its slower cooling rates compared to pressure die casting.
Compared to gravity casting, pressure die casting requires less machining. Die castings can cast holes depending on how and where you want it. Die castings give closer and more accurate dimensions, plus it can be produced at a larger scale, with less labor costs per casting.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Parts vs Sand Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Parts vs Sand Casting. Aluminum sand cast tooling roughly costs from $500 – $7,500, depending on the size and complexity. Pressure die cast tooling on the other hand costs from $5,000 – $75,000, again depending on the size and complexity of the die cast parts. However, tooling can create from 100,000 parts to as much as 1,000,000 pressure die casting aluminum lighting parts.
In sand casting, the molds or patterns are used to make sand molds. The preparation and bonding process of sand molds is the most critical step in the process. This technique is usually used for high volume production.
With die casting, the mold is usually made of metal like cast iron or steel. They are generally not destroyed but are made permanent. There are several types of die casting, the most widely used being high pressure die casting. 50% of light alloy casting production are made from high pressure die casting.
Sand casting and pressure die casting processes vary from some hundred to some thousand aluminum lighting parts. The cost of tooling and machinery is required for aluminum sand casting that is not normally required in the die casting process due to its tighter tolerance of the pressure die cast process in making the aluminum parts.

Michigan firms get stimulus grants for green manufacturing
Michigan firms get stimulus grants for green manufacturing
Mark Hornbeck / Detroit News Lansing Bureau
Lansing — Five small manufacturing companies won $15.5 million in federal stimulus awards to help them move into making green energy systems and parts, Gov. Jennifer Granholm announced today.
The firms will diversify from making tanks, auto parts and boats to manufacturing solar shingles, wind turbines and windmills. The governor’s office reported the grants will create or retain 713 jobs.
“These are existing businesses moving into revolutionary new areas,” Granholm said, adding the state has invested $1 billion into the renewable and alternative energy sector.

The companies that won the grants were among 80 that submitted applications, said Stanley “Skip” Pruss, director of the Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth.
“Clean tech is a space Michigan fits very well in,” Pruss said. “What you see here is the best in class.”
Firms awarded grants include:
• Astraeus Wind Energy Inc. of Eaton Rapids will get $7 million to make wind turbine blades and hubs.
• Energetx Companies LLC of Holland was awarded $3.5 million to manufacture large composite wind turbines.
• Loc Performance Products Inc. of Plymouth won $1.5 million to make gears and gearboxes for utility windmills.
• LUMA Resources LLC of Rochester Hills will get $500,000 to manufacture shingles for the residential solar market.
• Merrill Technologies Group of Saginaw will receive $3 million to make large-scale wind turbine blades and other components

Methods for making Aluminum Automotive Parts
Methods for making Aluminum Automotive Parts. Every single day, thousands of aluminum auto parts are made and produced by different auto companies: Chevrolet, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, and more. Many automotive parts are manufactured by net shape to save costs on additional labor and wasted materials. The metal aluminum is often used for car parts or auto parts for they are only a third of the weight of steel parts. Machining holes into the aluminum during production is easier. Indeed, aluminum proved to be the better metal compared to other metals because of its many beneficial properties.
To create aluminum automotive parts, the metal has to first undergo the die casting manufacturing process. First, the aluminum is being liquefied. The liquid metal will then be injected into the molds to take up the shape as dictated by the mold. Around 1,500 PSI to 30,000 PSI is applied, so that the liquid is forced into the mold perfectly. This will ensure accuracy in its dimensions. Afterwards, the molds are set aside to cool and once open, the aluminum automotive parts are perfectly finished.
The end result of this method is extraordinarily amazing: accurate dimensions and great surface finish. Parts can be remade with equal standard and consistency each time.
