Aluminum industry takes a 40 percent first-quarter hit
Aluminum industry takes a first-quarter hit. A weak automobile market has put a dent in figures for Switzerland’s aluminium manufacturers who say business in early 2009 slipped 40 per cent.
The Swiss Aluminum Association announced on Monday that factories processed 3,700 tons of light metal in the first quarter compared to 6,100 tons for the same period last year.
The die-casting sector, which is closely tied to the struggling automobile industry, was hit particularly hard, the association said.
The figures show that the industry has slipped further into a recession that began in mid-2008. Global orders for rolling mills and presses slipped 5.8 per cent to 166,400 tons compared to a record year in 2007.
Most of Switzerland’s aluminum is exported, largely to the European Union. But domestic use in 2008 also appears to have slipped about four per cent to 183,800 tons compared to the previous year.
As a result, producers have had to layoff workers and cut back on hours. Industry experts say they do not expect business to turnaround until 2010 at the earliest.

Lightweight Aluminum Lighting Fixtures
Aluminum Lighting Fixtures – Lightweight Lighting. A lot of hardware stores sell an assortment of electrical devices for the market to choose from. However, regardless of the massive display of products, it is not always assured that all devices are made of quality and hard-wearing material. Aluminum lighting fixtures are just a few of the many electrical devices that guarantee lightweight and long-lasting features. These devices are often used to strengthen construction of lighting fixtures both inside and outside several establishments. Commonly, a comprehensive setup may require a lot of parts and samples from electrical ballast to a light reflector. The light source is most important when setting up a lighting fixture as it needs to be made with effective material. Aluminum lighting fixtures are the perfect devices when it comes to this situation allowing easier construction of different lighting techniques. These can be used in a variety of areas and spaces from automotive to aerospace form of lighting
With the fragile construction of aluminum lighting fixtures, these can also come in versatile shapes and sizes, from fixtures used for down lighting to those that are mounted on uneven surfaces. Through the heavy process of aluminum die casting, finer lighting fixtures are being made available for purchase in the international market. These fixtures are injected with alloy metal of molten aluminum so as to form a more durable steel die. This course allows a better production when it comes to architectural devices that are being used in different parts of houses and buildings. The aluminum die casting procedure ensures better output of different lighting systems.
Kinetic Die Casting utilizes die casting to manufacture parts like aluminum car parts, airplane parts, lighting parts and much, much more. If you would like to request a quote, please visit our website:Die Casting quote
Aluminum Die Casting Part Types
Finding the Right Aluminum Parts Types. Several metals or alloys could be used in the die casting process, such as zinc, copper, magnesium and aluminum. Among these materials, many equipment manufacturers tend to favor die castings for aluminum parts types. Preference to aluminum in die casting parts is now most pronounced in the automotive industry where aluminum parts rank only second to steel. Advantages offered by aluminum parts types are many. Foremost is this alloy’s malleability which allows its applications to various designs in the die casting process. Aluminum’s malleable characteristic jibes well with the die casting technology which calls for the high-pressure injection of molten metal into dies or molds which enable efficient mass production of equipment or machine parts.
Another advantage is aluminum’s electrical conductivity and heat-absorbent quality, making aluminum parts types suitable in electronic equipment such as computers and refrigerators. Aluminum parts types are also lighter and better at resisting corrosion, qualities that have been proven useful in such applications as light enclosures and housings exposed to the elements.
Aluminum die casting parts types manufactured through the die casting method can likewise be designed with surfaces replicating a wide range of textures. Made into casts for other products, aluminum castings could be designed to have smoother quality than most all other castings. With such an advantage, many companies manufacturing construction materials have turned to using aluminum roofing tile molds for the design and production of various roofing tiles. Additionally, these aluminum parts types are lighter and less expensive than steel molds, benefits that translate into cost-efficiency and better profitability for the manufacturers.

Metaldyne Takes Further Restructuring Actions
Plymouth, MI – Metaldyne Corp., took several actions in 2008 to reduce structural costs, balance capacity with declining vehicle production and create a more agile and streamlined organization focused on its core product lines. These actions will help the company deliver its Plan to Win, which is aimed at creating value for Metaldyne stakeholders.
Metaldyne will further rationalize its headquarters operations in Plymouth. Since January 2008, the company has significantly reduced its headquarters staff. In addition, Metaldyne eliminated a separate leased facility, which housed its North American Chassis Products business unit, and consolidated that operation into another Metaldyne building in Plymouth. It will now further consolidate its operations in Plymouth by merging its headquarters facility into that same building. The move is expected to be completed by mid-2009.
“With this move, we will have rationalized from three headquarters facilities in Plymouth to one facility, which not only saves expenses but better streamlines how we will operate as a company,” said, Metaldyne chairman and CEO and co-CEO of Asahi Tec Thomas A. Amato. “This is another step in our plan to focus our resources on our manufacturing operations, processes and product technologies.”
