Tooling for Magnesium Die Casting
The Proper Tooling for Magnesium Die Casting. Magnesium die casting has been established as a very viable option for manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their production by making production cheaper and faster. However, it is not enough to buy the machines and the metals to be used to integrate it into the production process. The proper tooling for magnesium die casting must be prepared as well.
Magnesium die casting tooling, not just the machine, the mold, and the metal. Each one has its uses for added efficiency to the die casting process.
There are a lot of custom tools, each one suited for different types of die casts. There are also some tools which are notable as they are very useful for all kinds of die casts. The trim die cuts the excess magnesium around the finished die casts. Interchangeable cores make holes of different sizes. Vents allow gas to escape from the die, and overflows regulate the temperature of the die. Finally, ejector pins are used to push out the finished die from the molds.
When choosing the proper tooling for the magnesium die casting, it is important to take note of what is needed for each die cast. Each job is different from one another, so only the basic tools would be present for each. All the rest should be chosen carefully for each magnesium die casting process.

Windle Mechanical Solutions has taken on niche, low-volume and high-profit manufacturing jobs. Reporter Diane Mastrull of The Philadelphia Enquirer wrote an excellent article giving a glimpse into the transformation of small manufacturers in Pennsylvania.
There are no snaking assembly lines, no massive stockpiles of steel, aluminum, and bronze. But then, there are no big orders.
On last week’s jobs list:
* Six positioning devices for probes on an automatic welding machine;
* Four wheels for a military carrier launch and retrieval system;
* Four couplings for a nuclear pump application;
* Two helicopter-frame fittings;
* Two airplane landing-gear parts, and
* Two parts for biopharmaceutical freeze-driers

Aluminum Parts in Welding
Aluminum Parts Types – Their Roles in Welding. Have you ever heard of welding? The welding industry is growing fast and the requirements for the materials are also getting tough. It is in this sense that the welding companies see the usefulness of aluminum and its alloys. Basically, the aluminum parts types are fairly amenable when it comes to welding metalwork pieces. Aluminum is after all considered to be one of the best metals to use because of its fluidity during the heating process. Even when a much lower or a relatively higher temperature is used, there is really no problem in handling the aluminum and its alloys.
Aluminum bears properties that react effectively in the welding process. It easily melts and then never cracks even after solidifying. The procedure of aluminum welding is performed depending on the aluminum parts types. Many of these parts are those that contain the so called commercial grade aluminum which are compacted with about 99% of purity. Therefore, the effects of the heat treatment vary as well. Those that have lead or copper in them are too hard to weld and usually end up cracking during the process of welding.
The welding procedure of the aluminum parts types include the TIG and MIG along with the other traditional techniques of resistance welding, plasma, gas, and use of covered electrodes. TIG is the approach used in generating the fine surface finishes and in the welding of pipes and repairing the castings. Meanwhile, the MIG technique suits the welding of thicker aluminum metal pieces that require a longer welding cycle.

Telsa Motors Electric Cars Scores
Last year Tesla Motors scored a nice coup with former Chrysler executive Mike Donoughe as Tesla’s new Vice President of vehicle engineering and manufacturing. Now they’ve scored big again with the hiring of highly-respected and former GM, BMW and Audi exec, John Walker.
The electric-car company also hired an exec in the communications department from YouTube, Ricardo Reyes. Finally, a spokesperson from Tesla recently said they will be looking to hire 150 more employees–most in engineering from the automotive industry.
