Aluminum Boxes

Aluminum Box Castings are aluminum boxes made as aluminum die casting. These aluminum boxes are produced at the rate of hundreds to thousands each day in the aluminum die casting process. The box and cover may be diecasted at the same time for a smaller aluminum box and cover.

Aluminum Box Castings are a natural RF or EMI shield for your electronic components. What is RF or EMI shielding, you may ask? What does RF and EMI shielding mean? RF (Radio Frequency) and EMI (Electrical Magnetic Inductance) are electronics terms for protection. RF/EMI shielding blocks radio waves and radio frequency from interfering with the electronics inside the aluminum box or prevents the electronic frequency from inside the box from interfering with items outside the aluminum box.

How does an aluminum box block RF/EMI? Aluminum is a very electrically conductive material. Electricity flows easily through aluminum. A box made in aluminum would be electrically conductive. Items placed inside an aluminum box can take advantage of this electrical conductivity in many ways. Discussed here is the way radio waves disperse and are absorbed by the aluminum thus protecting electronics inside an aluminum box.

Aluminum boxes, because they are electrically conductive are a natural ground. Aluminum boxes are many times used as a “grounding plane” for the electrical components inside the aluminum box. This “ground” in this case is a common electrical circuit. Just like the chassis of the typical American Car, sometimes referred to the “negative pole” or “ground” of your car battery.

RF/EMI shielding are just a few of the many reasons aluminum boxes should be made using aluminum die casting. Kinetic Die Casting, Inc. will be happy to assist in your design and manufacture your aluminum box castings for your products.

William “Bill” Jordan was working for Alloy as a die casting machine operator until the war. Bill Jordan was drafted December 2nd, 1941 into the Army 187th Engineers. After the war, Bill returned to Alloy but wanted to become a tool and die maker so he went to Spencer Die Casting as a tool and die maker.

From 1946 to 1969 Spencer Die Casting grew as a die casting company and made tooling for other die casting companies. In 1969 Bill Jordan got ownership and became a partner with JB Spencer. Carl Spencer left the company and went to work for Del Mar.

In 1970, the owners of Spencer Die Casting, JB Spencer and Bill Jordan, bought Reliable Die Casting in Los Angeles and moved their die making operation to Reliable’s location. Reliable was a die casting company that made diecasting parts.

During the years 1969 through 1975 Daniel “Tom” Jordan worked part time for his dad, Bill Jordan during summers and after school. From 1976 through 1986 Tom worked on and off at SDC as needed.

January 14th 1991, Tom Jordan bought out JB Spencer and purchased Spencer Die Casting. JB died soon afterward in May 1992 Carl Spencer also died in 1992. Bill Jordan stayed involved with Tom part time to help and direct operations. Bill remained active in the business many years. Bill is 86 years old and lives in Fullerton, California.

October 13th 2000, Spencer Die Casting had a fire that took away one third of the building. A lot was lost in the fire that included the bonded storage room, the secondary process room and die storage room. One third of the building was never rebuilt. Tom Jordan lost a lot of money replacing lost items and he lost some of his desire to continue operations.

In May 2006, Tom Jordan was given notice that his lease was not going to be renewed and he needed to move out after 35 years in one location. Tom could not move his company and serve his customers, so Tom sold the assets and goodwill to Kinetic Die Casting.

Tom Jordan is consulting Kinetic Die Casting on the many jobs that he transferred with his many years of experience.

Chocolate Fountain Gift

Chocolate Fountains are a great gift for anyone you love. Everyone loves chocolate and everyone loves a chocolate fountain. Chocolate fountains create a fondue of molten chocolate that flows in the form of a fountain. Once the chocolate is flowing, it will flow until the chocolate is completely eaten. Chocolate flowing in the fountain makes a great centerpiece for most occasions. Chocolate fountains are used at wedding receptions, at bridal showers, at baby showers, at school functions and any home party.

As the chocolate flows from the bowl through the tube to the top of the fountain and down back to the bowl, friends will dip many types of edible objects into the flowing chocolate. These items typically are pretzels, bananas, red apples and green apples. Some times people try items such as grapes or oranges and pineapple slices to be different.

There are many types of rich chocolate that can be used in a chocolate fountain. Typically people will use grocery store chocolate chips. But there are many wonderful chocolates that can be used instead. Some people prefer dark chocolates to get a very different flavor and effect on the foods eaten in the flowing chocolate. White chocolate is also very different and very sweet. Some people use their chocolate fountains for other things like barbeque sauce and juices.

Chocolate fountains
are sold in many stores and on-line for very little money. There are many inexpensive chocolate fountains for as little as $40.00 and some that sell for over $1,000.00. At any price the chocolate fountain is a worthwhile investment.

Aluminum Hardware Brackets

Many products in homes need brackets. Chocolate Fountains use brackets to hold the parts together into a finished product. The heater plate in the chocolate fountain requires an “aluminum hardware bracket” to keep it into place. Lighting Fixture Brackets made in aluminum are considered “aluminum hardware brackets”. These light fixture brackets replaced the old lantern holding brackets of many years ago. Stables and barns also require brackets to hold items on the walls and to secure items in place. Smaller brackets are used in wood furniture for holding drawers together, holding shelves in cupboards and holding mirrors onto dressers. Other applications include: towel racks, book shelves, and toilet paper holders.

Home building companies use bracket items in several places. These brackets are used in many applications to hold items in place. Old wood framed windows used brackets to keep the correct angle of the wood window frames. Brackets tend to be angular to hold items up on walls or hold items away from walls. A 90 degree bracket could hold a shelf up on a wall or act as a brace to hold two walls together.

Construction people use brackets, called braces, to hold wood beams at the correct angle. Brackets are incorporated in home electrical boxes to hold these boxes into place and at the proper angle. Aluminum Hardware Brackets have many uses around your home and in new construction of houses.

Aluminum Brackets are made using the aluminum die casting process many times replacing other, less economical processes.
