Diecasting Tooling
Die casting tooling is also known as die casting dies, die casting molds or insert die. Die casting tooling also comes in different sizes, values, and styles. Die casting tooling comes either with a single cavity or multiple cavities. The cost for die cast tooling varies for trim dies and cavity inserts.
Die casting tooling can be damaged and wear off from erosion if the cavity inserts are soft. It requires expertise and understanding on how to mold tooling for aluminum. Kinetic Die Casting Company makes die cast tooling.
Die casting tooling insert is the cheapest form of die cast tooling. It requires heat treatment to extend its tooling life. The die cast tooling insert can wear away and be easily damaged due to erosion of the molten metal. There are die casting toolmakers that don’t use enough steel. Therefore it results to low potential life of the inserts.
Inserts must be mounted into a holder that allows the aluminum to inject into the insert. A pathway should be provided for the metal to go in. These holders are commonly called as family die, unit die or mold base.
If you can’t get yourself good quality die casting tooling inserts for your aluminum because it is expensive, try to get a prototype. The prototype insert is can also be used to test and create a design. It is somehow less expensive compared to a hardened cavity insert and it takes less time to produce. However, this tool can be damaged easily and since it is not as good as a steel insert, it can’t be modified.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures aluminum and zinc die casting parts. Samples of KDC’s work include die cast speaker parts, aluminum tile plates, and other die cast metal parts. If you would like to have a quote please visit our website: Kinetic Die Casting Company
Aircraft Die Casting
AIRCRAFT PARTS ALUMINUM DIE CASTING
If you happen to look above and you see a fast fighter plane equipped with modern design and armed with missiles, you’ll surely say that it’s from the United States. The United States is the leader in aircraft manufacturing. The country is supported by an array of fighter planes for national security and defense. But how did they build aircrafts? Well, those aluminum airplane parts are made because of die casting.
What is a die casting company anyway? Die casting is the process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities. Most are made from copper, zinc, aluminum, lead, magnesium, tin and lead based alloys it is used for applications where small parts need to be given a good detail or a perfect surface quality. Furthermore, in aircraft die casting magnesium and aluminum are the commonly used metals because they are lightweight and can operate in different conditions.
Magnesium alloy castings showed corrosion resistant performance. Other than that, magnesium alloys are light weight, low density and it can operate at high temperature. There are several magnesium alloys that can be found in an aircraft such as the RZ5 alloy in helicopter transmission casings and WE43 alloy for the castings of the main rotor gearbox.
Aluminum on the other hand remained to be the most popular alloy used on aircrafts. The parts of aircraft that uses aluminum alloy are door handle ducts, boxes, brackets, quadrants, clips, doublers, wave guides, wing and the body.
Aircraft parts die casting have gone along way. Although aluminum and magnesium are the popular metals used in aircrafts, others are still looking for other options like titanium.

Aluminum Die Cast Heat Sinks
Aluminum Heat Sinks are objects that draw heat from another object through thermal contact. They are mostly used in electronics and automobiles. Aluminum is a lightweight and sturdy material that has good thermal and electrical properties, that’s why it has become the material of choice for most heat sinks.
Aluminum heat sinks are produced by die casting by a Die Casting Company, a process wherein molten metal is forced is forced into mold cavities. The die casting process is beneficial if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized automotive parts with good details. Prior to the introduction of die casting, most heat sinks are made by welding several pieces together and drilling holes, if required, after. This process is time consuming, costly, and labor extensive. Die cast aluminum heat sinks are good as raw parts but they can be powder coated and anodized easily.
Die Cast Aluminum heat sinks can be manufactured in a much faster rate—ranging from a few hundreds to a few thousands small to medium sized parts a day—because they can be produced in net shape and there are no welding and drilling methods needed after. Die casting saves time, money, and energy all together.
Die cast aluminum heat sinks are definitely lighter than their stainless steel counterparts, with a specific gravity of about 0.10 pounds per cubic inch. Because they are electrically conductive, aluminum heat sinks are used for radio frequency (RF) and electronic magnetic inductance (EMI) shields. This quality also allows them to be grounded easily.
Aluminum heat sinks are used in airplane parts, circuit boards, microwaves, cellular phones, satellite components, laser components, motor housings, automotive, lighting parts and many more.

Military Parts Enclosure Castings
Aluminum boxes are needed by many industries including the military. Enclosure castings and Housing castings are aluminum box castings or aluminum die casting parts. These enclosures are typically designed to hold electronic components into place using a printed circuit board or PC Board. Military Parts Enclosure Castings usually need to be anodized to protect the exterior from damage. Sometimes the Military Parts Enclosure Castings are powder coated or painted for aesthetic reasons. occasionally these Military Parts Enclosure Castings need to be impregnated with a sealing material specified by the U.S. Government blueprints and then also penetrant inspected or Zyglo inspected to ensure the Military Parts Enclosure Castings do not have porosity and are not cracked. Military Parts Enclosure Castings need to be machined to mount “D” connectors and to add threads for screws to mount a cover for the box.
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces aluminum die casting parts, including Military Parts Enclosure Castings. When we produce aluminum die casting parts, we also supply certifications for “Material Certifications” and “Certification of U.S. Manufacture” and “Certification of Conformance” and “Certification of Processes”.
Military Parts Enclosure Castings are die cast aluminum boxes used by companies to produce military parts. Die Casting Tooling can take as little as six to eight weeks but typically it takes ten to twelve weeks to make tooling for die castings. After the tooling is made, Kinetic Die Casting can ship parts in two weeks. The typical delivery for Military Parts Enclosure Castings is from four to six weeks.
