Kinetic Die Casting Company, Inc makes defense manufacturing die casting parts, where components must endure extreme environments, stringent regulations, and zero tolerance for failure, selecting the right supplier is paramount. Kinetic Die Casting Company, based in North Hollywood, California, has emerged as a trusted partner for military contractors seeking A360 aluminum alloy die castings that are fully ITAR-controlled. With over 30 years of experience, Kinetic delivers precision parts that combine superior material performance with unwavering compliance, rapid U.S.-based production, and proven reliability for mission-critical applications.

A360 aluminum alloy is specifically engineered for demanding conditions, making it an ideal choice for Manufacturing Die Casting Parts and Military Die Castings. Unlike the more common A380 alloy—used in about 80% of general die castings—A360 prioritizes exceptional corrosion resistance due to its low copper content (?0.6%) and higher silicon (9.0–10.0%). This composition forms a robust protective layer, significantly reducing corrosion rates in harsh settings like saltwater exposure, chemical environments, or outdoor deployments. Independent tests show A360 outperforming A380 in NaCl environments, with lower pitting and degradation. Additionally, A360 offers superior pressure tightness—critical for hydraulic components, enclosures, and sealed housings—and better strength retention at elevated temperatures. Its excellent fluidity enables complex, thin-walled geometries with tight tolerances (±0.002 inches), while maintaining mechanical properties like tensile strength around 310–317 MPa and hardness of ~85 HB.

For military applications, these attributes translate to longer service life and reduced maintenance in rugged scenarios. A360 parts excel in enclosures for electronics, hydraulic cylinders, marine hardware, and structural components where exposure to moisture, salts, or heat could compromise lesser alloys. Defense specifications often demand this level of durability without added coatings, and A360 delivers it inherently.

What sets Kinetic Die Casting apart is their ironclad commitment to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) compliance. As a U.S.-owned and operated facility with CAGE/NCAGE Code 4ZQV3, Kinetic is fully registered with the Department of Defense and maintains 100% domestic production. All ITAR-controlled projects stay under U.S. jurisdiction, eliminating risks of data breaches, export violations, or supply chain vulnerabilities associated with overseas vendors. Kinetic provides Certificates of Conformance, Material Certifications, and U.S. origin documentation, ensuring seamless integration into defense supply chains. They adhere to MIL-STD and AS9100-compliant processes, supporting aerospace and military standards.

ITAR Compliant Die Castings

Kinetic’s expertise in military die castings manufacturing is extensive. They produce enclosures, housings, brackets, and hardware that house sensitive electronics, withstand ballistic impacts, or seal against environmental threats. Secondary operations—like CNC machining, impregnation for porosity-free seals, chemical filming, powder coating, penetrant inspection (Zyglo), and threading for connectors—are performed in-house, delivering ready-to-assemble parts. Customers have received fully processed military parts in under two weeks from purchase order, including impregnation and machining.

Speed and flexibility further drive demand. Kinetic’s motto—“The Parts We Make Today, We Ship Today”—is backed by automated LK cold-chamber machines up to 400 tons, enabling same-day shipping and 3–5 day turnarounds. They handle low-volume prototypes (as few as 250 parts) to high-volume runs without foreign delays or tariffs. This agility is vital for defense prototyping and urgent deployments.
