Citation Buys Iowa-Based Blackhawk Closes Plant
Citation Buys Iowa-Based Blackhawk, Will Allow Plant to Close – Released on November 30, 2009 –
Citation Corp., Novi, Mich., announced it has acquired Blackhawk Foundry & Machining Co., Davenport, Iowa, but will not maintain the plant’s operations.
According to a press release issued by Citation, Blackhawk’s Davenport facility will be closed by its current owners. Citation will acquire the company’s customer contracts and some equipment, which will be transferred to three of Citation’s facilities in Berlin, Wis., Bessemer, Ala., and Biscoe, N.C., by February 2010.
“Our focus continues to be on further strengthening our diversification strategy,” said Citation President and Chief Executive Officer Doug Grimm. “The Blackhawk acquisition further enhances our market diversification.”
In addition to the Blackhawk purchase, Citation announced the sale of its Albion, Ind., machine shop, a 68,000-sq.-ft. facility with 25 employees that primarily manufactures marine engine manifolds, to Busche Machine.
“The sale of our Albion facility allows us to concentrate on our core iron casting and machining capability,” Grimm said. “The Albion business fits better with Busche Machine’s principal products, markets and manufacturing footprint. We’re accelerating our effort to concentrate on core iron casting and machining, which includes our 250,000-sq.-ft. Menomonee Falls, Wis., facility that has 180 machining centers and employs 150 people.”
According to Grimm, Citation has reset its business model to reflect the global economic changes that have occurred during 2009. Citation is a privately held corporation that employs 1,100 at 10 manufacturing facilities. The company designs, develops and manufactures components for the transportation and industrial markets.
“A vast majority of the Blackhawk business is in the agriculture, energy, military and construction markets, which further bolsters our balance of industrial and transportation customers,” Grimm said.

How are Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts Used?
How are Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts Used? Aluminum lighting fixture parts are electrical devices mainly used for creating artificial light and illumination for homes and buildings. They are used either for indoor or outdoor lighting fixtures. Before the invention of aluminum die casting, lighting fixtures are created through welding techniques, making the system expensive and time consuming. Now, the science of aluminum die casting makes the process easier and a whole lot faster.
Aluminum lighting fixture parts usually consist of: a light source (lamp), a light reflector, an aperture (with or without lens), an outer shell or housing for alignment and protection, an electric ballast and connection to a power source. They are often used at the automotive lighting industry, marine lighting, medical lighting and aerospace lighting.
Aluminum lighting fixture parts are lightweight, durable and long lasting, making them ideal for several uses. They are often used to strengthen construction both on the inside and outside many establishments. They allow easier construction for different lighting techniques. This makes them very versatile, and can be used for many purposes: medical offices, parking garage lighting, bullet lights, street traffic lights, walk lights, outdoor coach light fixtures and high temperature light fixtures. They are also available in a wide array of shapes and sizes, ensuring better output and production of different lighting systems.

Why should you use Die Cast Heating Plates?
Why should you use Die Cast Heating Plates? Die Cast Heating Plates are used for many industrial purposes. Examples of their uses include the manufacture of toys, plumbing, cell phones, computers, automobiles, machines and kitchen metal parts. Unknown to many, die casting plates are used for almost every important thing in our day to day lives.
One good example of a Die Cast Heating Plate at work is a chocolate fountain. Chocolate fountains are often used in parties, receptions and other important events. The heater plate keeps the chocolate warm and flowing for several hours.
Generally, Aluminum Die Cast Heating Plates are favored by the general public, preferred by both in households and business establishments. Die casting offer better quality than by other manufacturing processes such as stamping, mold casting, forging and extrusion.
Why should you use Die Cast Heating Plates? The most obvious reason is that the metal used, aluminum, is one of the most copious metals on earth. Since aluminum supply is almost unlimited, the metal is affordable compared to other metals. It also has plenty of advantageous characteristics. It is lightweight, making the production process easier and faster. Its no surprise why many companies opt for this method compared to other more costly methods.

Bracket Hardware – how they are made
Bracket Hardware – how they are made. Aluminum Brackets Hardware is used in the process of building houses and other structures. Mainly, these brackets are used to keep things in place during the construction phase when some parts or beams should not move. This part is also used in making chocolate fountains and lighting fixtures to hold the other parts together during the construction process so that it ends up perfectly in place. There are many uses for the Aluminum Die Casting Brackets Hardware which is why it needs to be produced fast and cheap and not only that, it is required to be very strong. This is why aluminum is used in making this bracket because aluminum isn’t only abundant, it is considered to be stronger than steel and lighter as well.
Because Aluminum Brackets Hardware is made through a process known as die casting, it becomes even stronger than steel brackets. The latter is made in pieces and assembled by welding them together. In die casting, there is no need to weld the pieces. This process starts with melting the aluminium bar into liquid. Once the metal is liquefied, it can be placed in large molds so that it will take on a new shape, in this case the shape of a bracket. When it cools down overtime, the result is a single piece of bracket and not several pieces that need to be weld together as welding points can create weak spots.
Aluminum Brackets Hardware is an integral part of construction and the manufacturer needs to be able to trust this part. With the die casting process, the manufacturer will be able to rely on it a hundred percent.

Magnesium Auto Parts Make for Great Cars
Magnesium Auto Parts Make for Great Cars. When automobiles are made, there is always a question about efficiency, power, and just looking really good. With the recent developments, magnesium auto parts make all of this easier and cheaper to attain.
Magnesium die casting is very lightweight. It is one-third lighter than aluminum, and also two-thirds lighter than steel. This translates to better efficiency for the car, as it consumes less fuel to actually move it. Magnesium is also very easy to mold, so die cast parts made out of magnesium can be formed into even the most complex shapes, for all the custom parts which consumers could think of.
In the past, there was an issue on recycling magnesium. Magnesium is a limited resource as most metals are, but recycling it worried manufacturers regarding its purity and usability. Recent innovations, however, have allowed manufacturers to improve the recycling process, ensuring enough magnesium for all the future cars to be made.
Magnesium’s characteristics have made auto parts manufacturing easier, while at the same time making cars work smoother and look nicer. Magnesium auto parts are great for the automobile industry – not only helping the manufacturers in their production process, but also giving customers their dream cars just as they want them.
