Strontium in A380 Affects Mechanical Properties Favorably
Recent research funded by the Department of Defense and the Defense Logistics Agency and performed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute has shown that different levels of magnesium in A380 changes tensile, yield and elongation properties. Strontium has also been found to affect properties. The research has identified properties in the following ranges: Tensile from 45.5 to 47.0 ksi, yield from 23.8 to 28.5 ksi and elongation from 2.4 to 2.8% For more details see page 3-7 the new 7th edition of the NADCA Product Specification Standards for Die Castings, this book also includes many more useful updates and revisions.
The 2009 Seventh Edition of the “NADCA Product Specification Standards for Die Castings” publication, Item 402, has recently been released.

Aluminum Handle Construction at Its Finest
Aluminum Hardware Handles – Construction at Its Finest. Aluminum hardware handles are often used in constructing a lot of home furniture and equipment. A lot of people love the composition of aluminum hardware handles as it reprises sturdiness and value that are ideal for every hardware device. Aluminum handles can come in full solid shape and may come in stronger compared to normal tools used for welding. Since these handles are used for many functions and applications, it is always considered as a best purchase for home storage and in toolboxes. A lot of aluminum hardware handles are being sold in most hardware stores. Brackets of this device can also be purchased to aid in machining holes, thereby making most construction functions less expensive due to heavy equipments used for drilling.
In most instances, the aluminum handles available in the market come with brackets. These additional parts weigh almost 1/3 less compared to brackets made of steel. Aluminum-made tools are also known to be specifically conductive in terms of electricity. Since aluminum is relatively more robust than steel, you can expect that your equipment will last for a huge number of years. Kinetic die casting is being used to make these tools the best in quality aluminum hardware handles. The usual process of creating this handle takes approximately eight weeks, whereas the rest of its part samples may take well within another week of full construction. During the process of making an aluminum hardware handle, a die caster will have to use nominal draft to make the output more durable.

Quad City Die Casting Protests Shutdown
Quad City Die Casting Workers Protest In Chicago – Employees of a Quad City company are in Chicago, trying to save their jobs. Eight workers from Quad City Die Casting have joined forces with employees of Republic Windows, who successfully saved their own jobs in a protest last winter.
Together, they protested outside the Wells Fargo Bank office in Chicago Thursday.
Union workers say the bank, which received billions in bailout money, is refusing to extend credit to the Moline company. They want the bank to invest in the family owned business, not shut it down. “You’re not going to stimulate the economy by putting people on the street,” said Frank Kauzlarich local union vice president. “You have to have jobs. There has to be an influx of money. We can’t spend money if we don’t have it and our money is what stimulates the economy.”
Wells Fargo has said it can’t comment on a specific client, but that it “works with our customers who are having financial difficulties as prudently as we can” and has reinvested billions more than what the government gave it.
Quad City Die Casting is scheduled to close, putting 100 people out of work.

Low Carbon Footprint of Aluminum Die Castings
Low Carbon Footprint of Aluminum Die Castings Should Be Marketed to Industry. The die casting industry has long been built on recycling. The metal alloys used by the die casters are produced from recycled raw materials, created with far less energy than is required for virgin alloys. More than 95% of the aluminum die castings produced in North America are made of post-consumer recycled aluminum, helping to keep the aluminum content of municipal solid waste to less than 1%.
In response to questions from NADCA member companies about the carbon footprint of automotive die castings compared to alternative materials and processes for automotive components, this Carbon Footprint study by William A. Butler was authorized. Specifically, the study compares the cradle-to-grave carbon footprint of aluminum and magnesium die cast components with the carbon footprint of injection molded plastic components. The results of the study provide environmental impact information to the die casting industry, provide a baseline for further component carbon footprint evaluations in the future and identify opportunities for industry improvement in the environmental impact of die casting operations. One of the most significant study results is that — neglecting the contribution of product use to the total carbon footprint — aluminum die casting has the lowest carbon footprint because of its use of secondary aluminum alloys and its ability to be recycled.

Aluminum Heatsinks – Making Heat Diffusion Easier
Aluminum Heatsinks – Making Heat Diffusion Easier. Heatsinks are essential in applying a lot of electronic functions. In order to make the process easier when using heatsinks during automotive applications, aluminum heatsinks are being used by a lot of manufacturers. There are a lot of reasons why aluminum heatsinks are better than those made of other rusty materials. The advantage of aluminum textile is that it allows cheaper construction since copper plating will no longer be necessary during auto finishing. Aluminum heatsinks are also known to be electrically conductive, thereby making it a lot easier for the whole construction to be electrically stable. Parts used in this device are those that allow EMI and RD shielding.
Oftentimes, it takes a lot of time to construct cooling fins along with the mounting holes, due to the heatsink’s material. With an aluminum heat sink, you can do both tasks at the same time, saving you time and monetary expense. The electronic components of aluminum heatsinks are guaranteed to provide utmost durability, allowing you to easily mount the product on your PC board. Since heatsinks made of aluminum are able to transport heat by means of thermal contact, these are also excellent to use when manufacturing different electronic gadgets. By diffusing heat from one object to the other, heatsinks easily make heat dissipation an easy task for hydraulics and other electronic applications. The product simply uses water or air cooling to help tone down the temperature of engines and internal systems. Heatsinks made of extruded aluminum are also available in the market for those who are looking for moldable electronic parts.
