Here are a few examples of parts that are typically produced as a die casting parts because it saves money to make them as die castings.<\/p>\n<p>HEAT SINKS &#8211;<br \/>\nHeat sinks in the past were always extruded in aluminum because aluminum is one of the best materials for heat conductance (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/casting_aluminum.html\" title=\"Aluminum Thermal Properties\" target=\"_blank\">more info<\/a>) but the extrusions creates a lot of waste material and the additional cost to chop the heat sinks to length and machine mounting holes.  <\/p>\n<p>These reasons make die casting aluminum a far superior manufacturing process.  Aluminum Die Castings are produced to the size and shape necessary with no wasted material.  Die casting heat sink parts do not require additional machining to &#8220;chop&#8221; to size.  Mounting holes are produced during the manufacturing process at no additional cost. <\/p>\n<p>SAND CASTINGS<br \/>\nSand castings cannot maintain the tolerance that die castings typically hold.  Sand castings need a greater amount of variance from feature to feature.  Many times a sand casting part will require machining in an interior section of a part between features because the tolerance is greater than .002&#8243; (about half the thickness of paper)<\/p>\n<p>See our website:<br \/>\n\u2022\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/heatsink.html\" title=\"Die Casting Heat Sinks\" target=\"_blank\">Die Casting Heat Sinks<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/sandcasting.html\" title=\"Sand Casting and Die Casting\" target=\"_blank\">Sand Casting Information<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\" title=\"Kinetic Die Casting Company\" target=\"_blank\">Kinetic Die Casting Company<\/a> 818-982-9200 for more information or to get a price of a die casting part to replace a current heat sink or sand casting part.<\/p>\n<p>Kinetic Die Casting manufactures zinc and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/\" title=\"aluminum die casting\">aluminum die casting<\/a>.
