Aluminum Castings in the Die Casting Industry
The Purpose of Aluminum Castings in the Die Casting Industry. Before you dig further about aluminum castings, do you have any idea about where these are utilized? Aluminum castings are one of the alloys that are being used by the process that produces the most number of mass produced products in the metalworking industry. This is none other than die casting. This is when molten metal is being forced under high pressure into mold cavities.
Aside from aluminum castings, most products made through die castings are made out of non-ferrous metals such as magnesium, lead, tin, copper and zinc. Through time, ferrous metal die castings can also be created. Some companies opt for injection-molded plastic parts when they want their venture to be light and cheaper. But this is only recommended when only little strength is required and not much in the aspect of hardness.
The products from aluminum castings and other types of alloys used in die castings are utilized in various aspects and fields. These include automobiles, chocolate fountains, sink faucet, shower accessories, connector used in building homes, toys and a lot more.
Choosing the proper alloy is integral on the vitality of the outcome. You must know about these alloys strengths and weaknesses before you can utilize them for the purpose that you have in mind.
As for the aluminum castings, these can be relied on in terms of strength. Aluminum is a lightweight alloy that has high dimensional firmness for thin walls and compound shapes. This is also known as to having a good corrosion resistance property. This also presents a high electrical conductivity.
The Strength of Aluminum Hardware Brackets
The Strength of Aluminum Hardware Brackets. Often shaped like the letter L, a bracket is a plain inflexible object wherein one limb is vertically attached on the wall while the other limb is horizontally sticking out with the intention of supporting weight or a ledge. Among all kinds of brackets, Aluminum Brackets are definitely the strongest and the cheapest. As a matter of fact, the total weight of an aluminum bracket is just 1/3 of the total weight of a steel bracket. The main types of aluminum brackets which are made of high-quality aluminum materials are the multipurpose servo bracket, right angle surface bracket and angle bracket.
Aluminum Brackets Hardware is the favorite of Die Casting companies since it is strong, lightweight and inexpensive. Also believed to be Aluminum Brackets Hardware are the aluminum lighting furniture brackets, which by the way replaced the former lantern clinching brackets. Moreover, Aluminum Brackets Hardware can be decorated or coated.
A chocolate fountain needs aluminum brackets to support and hold its heater cover, while aluminum brackets at barns are used to hold and secure things on the wall. The small brackets are typically used to hold up mirrors attached on dressers, support two drawers jointly and brace ledges in cabinets. The seat-back tray table of the Boeing 747-700 is braced with a pair of aluminum brackets, sufficiently tough to carry laptops, plates, cups or glasses, and the hands and arms of the plane passengers.
Without any doubt, Aluminum Brackets Hardware has lots of functions especially in newly-built and already built homes as well as aircrafts.

Chocolate Fountain Business
Business Development Assistance from Kinetic Die Casting –
A few years ago, Kinetic Die Casting helped develop a Chocolate Fountain for a professional caterer. The caterer had talked about this idea for a couple years to many people before contacting Kinetic Die Casting. This catering company owned and rented commercial chocolate fountains to ordinary people. These chocolate fountains they rented out for $200 to $400, depending who was renting them. It was a great new business concept, make an inexpensive chocolate fountain that anyone could purchase and sell them for the price that most companies were renting them for. Their plan was to sell them for less than $400, an amount that most people renting them would gladly pay.

Kinetic Die Casting saved the catering company a lot of money by making aluminum die casting tooling inserts for $6,000 and making 500 inexpensive aluminum parts for them in less than 8 weeks from our first meeting. Six weeks for the tool and two weeks for tooling approval with production and machining of aluminum die casting parts. Their plan was to sell 50,000 units, then develop a larger version for commercial uses.
This was the first “consumer chocolate fountain” in the marketplace. A great idea that apparently, many other companies thought of as well. We do not know how many people this customer told about the idea or how many quotes they asked for prices from, before they found Kinetic Die Casting.
They waited too long. – A few months after this chocolate fountain hit the market, there were several “cheaper” models sold by larger distributors. They lost this market niche rapidly. The marketplace got flooded with too many chocolate fountains selling for less than $100. They were able to sell less than 1,000 units. Too Many Chocolate Fountains
This example, is an example of how a good idea can either make a “New Business” millions of dollars or how an new business investment fell short of expectations. This was a great idea that still made money, but not as much as it could have made. A great idea, but too slow to the marketplace.

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.
