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.

    Aluminum Machining Differs from Steel Parts Machining in 2023

    Aluminum Parts Machining Differs from Steel Parts Machining. Aluminum can be used in many ways. However there are different ways on how you can work with it. Aluminum parts machining requires less power compared to steel parts or cast iron parts because they are light weight.

    Aluminum parts machining can be different in cast iron machining. It’s the type of tools and tooling technologies that you will use will make a difference.

    Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum die cast parts. If you are working with aluminum parts, the spindle of the machine should be strong and forceful. Spindles require higher speeds along with a lesser low-end torque compared to machining other metals like steel. Also, the spindle should be stiff because it will work in very fast conditions. Other experts on this field recommend the use of HSK tapers to ensure accuracy and rigidity. Moreover, if you are using very fast tools, rotating inertia can be reduced with the use of closed-loop spindles powered by a motor.

    Furthermore, it requires little cutting forces if you are working out with aluminum parts. The machine has to be well-damped and stiff.

    Since you are working with high speeds, there’s a chance of thermal growth. It can create a major problem if you are working out with light metals. It can lead to a major problem if you are working with light metal parts like aluminum.

    Find yourself a machine with thermal control system. A cooling system is recommended in order to reduce the frictional heat in the bearings when the higher spindle speeds up. Also, you must protect the spindle against coolant penetration by sealing it because the entire machining operation of a light metal is not dry.

    Kinetic Die Casting manufactures products like aluminum hardware, and aluminum boxes. If you would like more information on Kinetic Die Casting, please visit our website:Kinetic Die Casting Company

    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.

    Aluminum Die Casting Parts Draft Angle-Draft Angle in Die Castings in 2023

    Aluminum Die Casting Parts Draft Angle – Draft Angle in Die Castings. When someone asks me “what is draft angle in a box?” or “why do I need a draft angle on my aluminum die casting box part?” The technical answer is, all aluminum die castings require a draft angle on the walls of die cast box parts perpendicular to the parting plane or parallel to the slide interfaces. Since I have selling die cast parts for over 20 years, I find simple answers and provide simple calculations for my customers. What does that mean to the typical engineer (any engineer other than tooling or mechanical) or professional buyer?

    I try to give examples that most people can relate to, because most people do not have a need to concern themselves with how things are made, only what is made, and will it be what they need. I ask, “Have you ever noticed on a cupcake the bottom diameter is smaller that the top diameter?” or “Have you noticed that a cake pan has sides that slope in toward the middle of the pan?” That would be an extreme example of a draft angle. Aluminum die castings would stick inside the die casting tool, molds, or die casting die if there was not enough draft angle in the tool and part. The typical draft angle for an aluminum die casting part is two degrees per side. The calculation for that is simple if a person is familiar with die casting production part design, but is not familiar to most people.

    Picture an enclosure (or Aluminum Box) sitting on a table with the open side up. The aluminum box is 2″ deep inside with the height and width 4″ each way on outside. The walls of the box are 0.10″ thick. Due to the wall thickness, a few things are evident to a part designer concerning this simple box:

    • The overall height of the box is 2.10″ tall.
    • The interior of the box at the top of the opening is 3.80″ x 3.80″.

    A 2 degree draft angle will change the dimensions in the following on the interior and exterior and should be considered if something needs to fit inside the box or outside the box:

    • The top inside dimension of the box will be 3.80″ and the bottom inside will be 3.664″
    • The top outside dimension of the box will be 4.00″ and the bottom outside will be 3.864″

    If the box was designed for the interior of 4″ x 4″ at the bottom: box:

    • The top inside box dimension needs to be 4.136″
    • The outside top box dimension will be 4.336″.
