2026 Aluminum Fun Facts
Aluminum metal (Al) is the most abundant mineral on Earth after oxygen and silicon and is possibly the most abundant metal found naturally on Earth. It is present in 270 minerals. Aluminum is a silver, soft metal with an atomic number of thirteen and thirteen protons in the nucleus. It constitutes about eight percent of the Earth’s land mass.
Kinetic Die Casting company makes most of our die casting parts as aluminum die castings.

Aluminum Material fun facts:
- Caution – Aluminum powder and Iodine plus a few drops of water create: Clouds of toxic purple iodine vapor and a flame.
- Recycling aluminum takes only 5 percent of the energy needed to extract new aluminum from ore.
- Aluminum is globally the most used metal that does not contain iron.
- Aluminum is almost always used as an alloy, even if the aluminum content is as high as 99%.
- The most commonly used elements to combine with aluminum to create an alloy are zinc, copper, silicon, magnesium, and manganese.
- This element is the second-most abundant metallic element in Earth’s crust after silicon.
- Aluminum is lightweight (a third the weight of steel or copper).
- That Coke can: According to the Aluminum Association, an aluminum can takes 60 days to return as a new can after recycling.
- Aluminum and its alloys are significantly used in the aerospace industry auto manufacturing and transportation, construction, packaging etc.
- Aluminum is also used as a compound to manufacturing paints, antacids, deodorants and are also used as a catalyst in explosives (such as ammonium nitrate) to boost explosive capabilities.
- Aluminum is a very reflective metal, which is very useful in home decor items such as aluminum blinds, aluminum fence, aluminum doors, aluminum windows etc.
- Keep vinegar and bleach away from your aluminum products.
- Aluminum parts when damp creates a white oxide that protects the aluminum surface but keeps paint from sticking.
- Aluminum is incredibly flexible enough that it can be easily formed into the tiniest of items such as paper clips, dial gauges etc.
I hope you enjoyed these fun facts about aluminum. More than 90% of our die casting production is in aluminum alloy parts.

More die casting parts and the alloys used to make them
Kinetic Die Casting Company specializes in making die casting parts, sales@kineticdc.com. When undergoing die casting, the type of metal alloy used determines the specific type of die casting that should be employed and the quality by which the die casting parts are made. To give you an idea of which metal alloys to use for you to arrive at your desired casting part, take note of the advantages and disadvantages of using these metal alloys.
Zinc is the easiest alloy to cast because it is highly ductile and has high impact strength and can be easily plated. The low melting point of zinc makes it convenient to be used for small casting parts and is expected to last long.
More die casting parts and the alloys used to make them
Aluminum is a lightweight die casting alloy that contains a high stability to be molded into complicated shapes and sizes. It is known to be very resistant to corrosion and it is noted for its chemical and physical properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as high temperature tolerance. We use mostly aluminum alloy to die cast our parts
Magnesium is well known to be machined easily, besides being the lightest alloy to be die cast, this metal also has extraordinary strength to weight ratio. Kinetic Die Casting does not die cast parts using magnesium
The high hardness of Copper coupled with its high corrosion resistance provides excellent sheer stress resistance and strong dimensional stability like that of steel. Kinetic Die Casting does not die cast parts using copper
Alloys made from Lead and Tin are high density and are used for production of parts with exceptionally close dimensions. Kinetic Die Casting Company does not die cast parts using lead or tin

Die Casting Part Pricing-How Die Casting Part Prices are Established in 2022
Die Casting Part Pricing – How to Die Casting Part Prices are Established.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has a specific pricing model that is similar and also different from our competitors. Here are a few issues to think about when asking for a die-casting part price.
- Die Casting Part Size
- Die Casting Part Weight
- Die Casting Material Type
- Inspection Requirements
- Die Casting Part Quantity
- Die Casting Part Tolerances
- Die Casting Part Specifications
- Die Casting Tooling Types
- Additional Labor Needs
- Die Casting Part Secondary Finishing
- Other Fees
The die casting part size and weight effect the part price in a few ways, cycle times or parts per hour, the machine tonnage size required to produce the parts and the part material cost, which also relates to the die casting material type.
The inspection requirements can vary depending on if a (1) visual inspection, or a (2) dimensional inspection or a (3) penetration inspection or an (4) X-Ray inspection or a (5) pressure test inspection are required.
The part quantity has an effect because it will determine if some of the many “one time” or “minimum charge” fees are covered in the production lot.
Die casting part specifications and tolerances add additional labor to a simple casting through inspection and documentation.
The die casting tool can effect the part price by how many cavities are in the tool, how many slides are in the tool, whether additional labor can be removed by the tool, and also if a trim die is available. The mold type also has an effect in the set up time for tooling.
Many times additional labor are needed to complete the die casting part, like threading holes, which also adds to the part cost. Can we use high speed production machining or do we need to use CNC machines.
If there is a polish, ball burnish, bead blast, paint or anodize requirement, that will add to the part cost.
Other fees, some die casting companies charge a “Set Up Fees” or an “Environmental Fees” or an “Energy Surcharge Fees” or a packaging or pallet fee, we do not have any of these hidden fees.

The Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic
Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic:
- Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).
- Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.
- Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.
- Aluminum brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.
- Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.
- Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.
- Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.
- Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.
- One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.
- Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.

Purchasing the Best Hardware Handles in 2022
Aluminum Handles – Purchasing the Best Hardware Handle. Any construction worker dreams of working with lightweight materials and components that are sure to withstand the test of time. A lot of clients of die casting companies look for aluminum hardware handles to aid them in making new doors and other types of furniture. These are made from mold die casting tools to get the precise shape and measurements of the aluminum hardware handles fit for any piece of furniture or automobile. Handles made of aluminum also come with brackets to ensure easy hole drilling and to help attach the electrical components to their respective items. Aside from the aluminum material generating less weight for the overall output of their clients, this also allows the client to produce quality material that consumers can use for a lot of years to come.
Most aluminum hardware handles nowadays, are made of steel that is heavier in weight and is often prone to corrosion in a span of a few years. Since handles are often used for doors and cabinets, it is important to protect the quality of its material by using aluminum to release consumer anxiety over metal rusting and material decay. Moreover, a lot of consumers get to savor the advantage of being able to spend less due to the aluminum handle brackets included in the package. These are already welded components and can be constructed according to specific radii. Consumers can also be confident that handles made from aluminum have the most protective ribs that are distinctly tested for stability.
