Aluminum shapes

Aluminum shapes. Aluminum is a light metal found naturally in the earth’s crust. It is silvery grey. It is light in weight. It is not a magnetic metal. It does not sparkle but it was once considered more precious than gold. It is abundant but reactive and has to be extracted from ore.

Once extracted, this metal is useful in a wide range of industrial applications. Aluminum die cast parts are found in an unbelievable number of our day-to-day appliances and equipment. It is used in car pistons, aircraft components, marine hardware, machine tool parts, lawnmower gear and housings, streetlamp housings, lighting fixtures, typewriter frames, dental equipment, frying skillets, golfing products, guitar amps, and hardware brackets. This metal has certain properties that make it ideal for use in all kinds of metal die casting processes. The aluminum die casting process include die casting, sand casting, permanent mold casting, composite mold casting, continuous mold casting, investment die casting, centrifugal casting, plaster casting, and hot isostatic pressing.

Die casting is a way of manufacturing that enables mass production in an easy, affordable manner. It involves the use of a mold, a pattern, release agents, sealers, and die castable material. Viscous substances that can be poured into a mold are perfect for this. When the material sets or cures it takes the shape of the mold. This is how aluminum part die castings are processed. Other metals that can be shaped in this way are tin, lead, zinc, copper, and silver. Non-metals used as die castable material are concrete, plastic resins, plaster of paris, and wax.

Aircraft Brackets

A bracket is an L-shaped fixed structure used to connect one horizontal surface and one vertical surface. Brackets are used for both household and industrial purposes. Steel brackets are costly and heavy. The introduction of aluminum brackets made it possible to produce brackets that are lighter and less expensive.

Die cast aluminum bracket are made from molten metal forced into mold cavities. The process of die casting is perfect if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized parts with good details. Aluminum brackets are good conductors of electricity. Aluminum brackets made by die casting are produced in a faster rate with less labor, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand small parts daily. Aluminum brackets also have holes die cast into the mold so that no drilling is required after, saving time, energy, and money altogether. Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Aluminum Brackets.

There are many kinds of aluminum brackets: An angle bracket, uni-strut universal right angle surface bracket, and a multi-purpose servo bracket. All these are made with quality aluminum and are designed to give absolute support.

The “Seat-Back Tray-Table” of the Boeing 747-700 Airplane is supported with two die cast aluminum brackets, strong enough to hold glasses, plates, a laptop, and even the arms and hands of someone working on the make-shift table.

Aluminum brackets are also designed to be decorative. They are used for lighting fixtures, chocolate fountains, barns, and many more. Die cast aluminum brackets have become the choice of numerous builders because it is cheap, light, and sturdy.

Enclosure Boxes

Aluminum Enclosure Boxes and the many other uses of Aluminum. Aluminum enclosure boxes are becoming a preference for many enclosure manufacturing companies for their packaging requirements. The custom enclosure boxes are used as enclosure housings for various products like electronic enclosure components.

The usual packaging types are made of corrugated paper materials, plastic, turned edge, or wood. The aluminum enclosure is a relatively new option for packaging. The enclosure boxes can be in tote style, two-piece set up, or those similar to the CD/DVD boxes.

Aluminum Alloy is a silvery white metal that is ductile, malleable, and conductive of heat and electricity. In its pure state, this metal is soft. It becomes stronger and harder once alloyed with many other elements. Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on earth, but it does not occur without combining with others. It can be found in many minerals like clay, bauxite, mica, feldspar, alum, and others like sapphire and ruby.

This metal is lightweight and is commonly found at home, in the kitchen specifically. Pots, pans, beverage cans, and the aluminum foil are made from aluminum. Many of its properties make it the a very good choice for a raw material in making housings or enclosures:
– Attractive
– Non-toxic
– Resistant to corrosion
– Non-magnetic
– Easy to form, cast, or process into different shapes
– Lightweight
– Electrically conductive

Aluminum alloys are commonly used in airplane enclosures, highway enclosures and road signs, bridges, storage tanks, and buildings too. Auto manufactures prefer aluminum enclosures because it is 1/3 as heavy as steel enclosures and that means lower consumption of fuel.

It is not surprising that aluminum enclosure boxes are becoming a new preference for enclosures even for smaller items because of its many beneficial properties.

Lighting Endcaps

In September 2008, we looked a Lighting Endcaps for the entertainment industry. Lighting endcaps are typically used to enclose the end of a light fixture. In this case our customer needed sets of a left endcap and a right endcap. This project required only 500 sets of parts each year. The engineer was unsure if Aluminum Die Casting was the answer to her dilemma. Many people were telling her that the minimum run for die castings was 1000’s not 100’s each year.

We looked at her project and told her, it fit in our niche of:

  • Low Quantity Parts and Fast Delivery
  • She placed the order with us in October 2008 for two cavity mold, die casting tooling, and for 200 sets of parts. She was in a hurry so she then asked if we would provide a few sets of parts she needed for an up-coming design show using SLA. Instead we gave her sample units in less than the 12 weeks we promised. She used our samples at the show. This saved her $2,000 in custom metal parts prototype part costs.

    Kinetic Die Casting does this all the time for new customers. We accept orders and deliver the aluminum parts early. We specialize in delivering faster and better quality than many customers are getting from our competitors from here locally or from far away lands.

    Aluminum Handle Wares

    There are many types of handles—positive locking, extruding, folding and standard square, oval and wire type. Most handles are made in brass, stainless steel and aluminum. The most common is the aluminum handle ware.

    Die cast aluminum handle ware are made from molten metal forced into mold cavities. The die casting process is beneficial if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized handles with good details.

    Prior to the introduction of die casting company, most handles are made by welding several pieces together, which is time consuming, costly, and labor extensive. Die cast aluminum handle ware are made faster because they can be produced in net shape, meaning there is no welding or drilling methods needed, saving time, money, and energy all together. Aluminum handle ware can be produced from a few hundred to a few thousand pieces daily.

    Aluminum handle ware can be powder coated and anodized without complications. They are also cheaper compared to steel and lighter than their steel fabricated counterparts. They can also be decorated at a faster rate because decorative features can be easily added to the mold cavities. In most cases, aluminum handle ware can be die cast stronger than stainless steel handles because the former can be designed with strengthening ribs.

    Aluminum handle ware include handles kitchen utensils, doorknobs, fold, locks, lifts, cabinet and door hinges, door bolts and stops, furniture handles, hooks, faucets, shower handles, garden furniture handles, aluminum sliding doors and windows handles, glass door handles, decorative handles, and many more for residential and industrial purposes.
