Cold Chamber Aluminum Die Castings
Cold Chamber Aluminum Die Castings. Die cast methods using aluminum alloy as materials employ machines designed for cold-chamber die castings. Through this cold-chamber method, the material is first melted in a separate furnace. From the molten metal, a precise amount is taken and moved to the cold-chamber machine to be fed into an injection cylinder or an unheated shot chamber. A mechanical or hydraulic piston then drives this shot into the die or mold.
The cold chamber die castings have a relatively slower cycle time compared to the hot chamber method, because of the time required in transferring the molten metal to the cold-chamber machine from the furnace.
Be that as it may, cold chamber aluminum die castings remain as an economical and efficient process. There is a wide range of aluminum parts that could be produced from this method. Long-lived service may be derived from these cold chamber die castings as aluminum is not only light but is also durable and non-corrosive. Mass production of parts at relatively faster speed is likewise possible as the components already come out in their net shapes. Little or no further machining is needed as the cold chamber die castings already roll out in their design specifications. The strength of the aluminum alloy is likewise harnessed to the fullest with designs that need no welding of parts together. And even if there are components that need to be fastened, the dies or molds could incorporate self-fastening holes and studs for a perfect fit of the parts, possibilities that make cold chamber die castings among the valuable tools of modern industry today.

Die Casting Tooling: 4 Types of Dies
Die Casting Tooling: 4 Types of Dies. Dies, or more appropriately termed as die cast tooling, are one of the most essential parts when it comes to die casting. Naturally, you cannot make a certain alloy component without creating the perfect mold – which is why dies are also often called die casting molds. The actual creation of dies begins with the blueprint of the piece or pieces that is to be developed. This is not as easy as it sounds. Very stringent measures are undertaken to make sure that the dies fit every configuration of the overall design. Often the blueprints, the die casting tooling and the corresponding pieces that come from the first two have to be worked over until the perfect pieces are achieved. Only then can mass production of the said pieces can continue.
As such there are 4 known existing types, and these are: single cavity die, multiple cavity die, unit die and the combo die or the combination die.
Single cavity die casting mold, as the name implies, refers to mold that is often used in the creation of a single component. Usually, the very large pieces of metal works are created from single cavity die to ensure that the pieces are “flawless.” On the other hand, multiple cavity die refers to molds that have smaller components but are identical in design. This type of die is more economical when it comes to mass production of smaller pieces.
Unit dies are best for the creation of different pieces that would be fitted to create one larger piece, or unit. This is best for the medium to small pieces as well. Lastly, there is the combo die. The combo die can be a mix of two of the aforementioned dies above or all three. This is great for assembly line production.

Quad-City Die Casting to close in July
After more than a half century in business, Quad-City Die Casting has notified its work force that it will close its doors this summer.
Company spokeswoman Linda Norberg confirmed Monday that operators of the manufacturing plant at 3800 River Drive, Moline, sent out Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification, or WARN, letters Friday to notify employees of the July 12 closing. The action will affect about 100 employees, including members of Local 1174, United Electrical.
Norberg would not discuss the reasons for the closing and said the company had no other comment.
But Tim Curtin, a spokesman for the United Electrical’s national organization, said union leaders were surprised by the letter’s arrival.
“We’re all taken aback by this,” he said, adding that there had been no indication of a decline in business. “Ironically, a few people had been recalled.”
Curtin said Local 1174 represents 40 to 50 hourly current workers as well as 35 to 40 who are on layoff.
Norberg estimated that the company employs about 100 in all. The plant makes aluminum castings for manufacturing clients.
“We had lost work last fall, and there were big layoffs in the winter, but we thought things were starting to pick up,” Curtin said.
“Our first goal … is, if they want to get out of the business, to find another buyer in Moline,” said Curtin, who is based in Chicago. He added that union leaders were working to set up a meeting with management.
Quad-City Die Casting is owned by Drew Debrey, the company president. His father, Andrew Debrey, founded the company in 1949.
The pending shutdown comes about two years after the union workers were locked out for about two months during a contract dispute. The employees returned to work in September 2007 after approving a new contract, which runs through June 2010.
During the contract dispute, union leaders cited the company’s use of temporary workers in skilled positions as a sticking point. The eventual contract limited use of temporary employees and included a 3 percent raise.
Greg Rivara, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Employment Security, said he could not comment specifically on Quad-City Die Casting’s situation; however, he said, it is the state’s practice to put together a “rapid response unit” when employees are displaced by a work force reduction or a plant closing. He said the Illinois Department of Commerce and Opportunity and his agency work with the employer and bargaining units to bring services to affected workers.
The agencies can offer assistance with filing unemployment claims, resume review, career counseling and retraining.
“We would try to find the most convenient way to deliver the services,” he said, explaining that information can be presented to workers at the plant, a union hall or another location.
Separate programs are available to help business “stay in business or to help someone come into the company’s footprint,” Rivara added.
Rick Baker, president and chief executive officer of the Illinois Quad-City Chamber of Commerce, said he was not aware of the company’s decision. “You hate to lose good companies like that and for those people to lose their jobs.”
However, he said, the business climate in the Quad-Cities still is good. “I’ve had some very positive conversations with businesses — some planning to expand and other that are healthy. Obviously, their volume is down, but they’re still healthy and working through a slower time.”
