Why Should You Use Aluminum Aircraft Parts? We should use aluminum in aircraft parts because it is light in weight and low in density. The aluminum is actually alloyed with other kinds of metals to make it much tougher and …

Why Use Aluminum Boxes in 2023
Why Use Aluminum Boxes?
The most electronic component would need to be protected by housing that could keep away outside factors like dust, water, moisture, or sudden impact. Aluminum boxes are suitable enclosures for such items.
These boxes are made from aluminum die casts and they have to die cast lids too. They can also be fitted with covers that can be screwed in place to seal the item away from anything that could damage it.
Aluminum boxes are used as the natural ground for electrical components. Since aluminum conducts electricity, the boxes are also used as the grounding planes for the electronic items being kept.
Many companies use these boxes for RF/EMI shielding too. The boxes used are still made using aluminum die-casting. RF (Radio Frequency) or EMI (Electrical Magnetic Inductance) shielding is means of protection or shielding against radio waves and frequencies that may interfere with the electronic components in the box. The box keeps these outside frequencies away from its content.
As an RF/EMI shield, the aluminum box is electrically conductive and can disperse and absorb any of the outside frequencies and thus, protect the electronic component that is kept inside it.
The aluminum boxes can also be used as enclosures for engine compartments, computer components, computer disk drives, communication devices, motors, car transmissions, or electrical junction boxes.
Aside from the natural conductivity of aluminum, it is a choice of manufacturers for their enclosure needs because aluminum parts weigh less than 1/3 the weight of steel. That could be more cost-effective and it allows easier transport of items.

Unit Die Tooling in 2023
Kinetic Die Casting also makes Die Casting Unit Die Tooling.
Unit die tooling is usually larger than die cast tooling inserts and usually smaller than a complete mold. Unit die tooling uses less steel than a complete mold, but more steel than a die casting insert. Unit die tooling requires a master unit holder that sits in the die casting machine. Kinetic Die Casting has “master unit holders” in several diverse sizes to accommodate different sized unit dies.
Unit dies will set into a die casting machine faster and more easily than any other form of tooling. Die casting part size and weight are the biggest boundaries to whether a unit die tool is appropriate for your die cast part.
If you have unit die tooling, deliver it to us because we can manufacture aluminum die cast parts with your unit die tooling. Kinetic Die Casting has master holders in many sizes.

Methods for making Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings
Methods for making Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings. What are heat sinks? They are usually fastened to electronic devices like those with integrated circuits to release heat when it is working. With that said, heat sinks need to have a wide surface area which will determine their capability to dissipate the heat.

Does Thicker Walls in Die Casting create Stronger Die Cast Parts in 2023?
Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many customers develop new products. There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to consider such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, and wall thicknesses.
Over the years, I have had to convince several buyers, engineers, and designers that increasing the thickness of the walls or other sections in a die casting part does not increase the part strength. In fact, it does the opposite. As the molten metal is injected through the gate, into the die casting mold, the metal freezes on the wall surfaces of the die on the die casting part exterior and interior. The metal contacting these die surfaces is denser and harder than the section sandwiched between the two wall surfaces.
The first .030” to .050” surface of the casting where the metal is denser is commonly called the “skin” of the die casting. The die casting skin is on both interior surfaces and exterior surfaces. The material between the two skin surfaces is weaker and less dense. A part that has a wall thickness of .080” would have a skin surface of about .060”, on the interior wall .030” and the exterior wall .030”. The section sandwiched between the two skins, approximately .020” would provide little strength.
Die Casting parts should not typically be thicker than .125”. On die casting parts with thicker walls than .125”, the increased thickness decreases the wall strength by increasing opportunities for porosity, shrinkage and laps. Parts that will be machined should only have less than .030” removed to preserve more of the die casting strength and to avoid exposing porosity.
When it comes to increasing strength in aluminum die casting parts, other methods are used. I will detail how to strengthen die casting parts in future articles.
Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company 800-524-8083, if you have a metal product that you are considering manufacturing. We will evaluate your design and make suggestions on other metal manufacturing processes when necessary. If die casting is the best option, we will assist you in material selection, tooling manufacture, and provide the cost for tooling and die casting parts.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures custom metal parts to their customer. If you would like more information about Kinetic Die Casting, please visit our website:Kinetic Die Casting Company

The Environment and Aluminum Die Casting in 2023
The Environment and Aluminum Die Castings. In our Earth’s crust, aluminum is the most abundant (8.3% by weight) metallic element and the third most abundant of all elements (after oxygen and silicon).
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces parts using aluminum. Aluminum is theoretically 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities. The global per capita stock of aluminum in use in society (i.e. in cars, buildings, electronics etc.) is 80 kg. Much of this is in more-developed countries (350–500 kg per capita) rather than less-developed countries (35 kg per capita). Knowing the per capita stocks and their approximate lifespan is important for planned recycling.
Other manufacturing materials, such as steel and plastic, can not be recycled or have limited recycle ability. These materials fill our landfills and break down very slowly. Many plastic materials appear as if they will last forever in our landfills.
Recovery of aluminum via recycling has become an important facet of the aluminum industry. Recycling involves melting the scrap, a process that requires only 5% of the energy used to produce aluminum from ore, though a significant part (up to 15% of the input material) is lost as dross (ash-like oxide). The dross can undergo a further process to extract aluminum.
Recycled aluminum is known as secondary aluminum, but maintains the same physical properties as primary aluminum. Secondary aluminum is produced in a wide range of formats and is employed in 80% of aluminum alloy castings.
The aluminum die castings manufactured by Kinetic Die Casting Company are made from 100% recycled aluminum that has been alloyed into the proper aluminum alloy that our customers specify. Typically, A380, A360 or A413 aluminum alloys.
Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company today and get a price for your 100% recycled aluminum parts. Buy 100 parts or 5,000 parts.
