Oil Crisis Boosts Aluminum Auto Parts Use in 2022

Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts — admin @ 12:00 pm

Oil crisis boosts aluminum auto parts use

There’s a silver lining in the escalating crude oil prices for the aluminum die casting industry. The high fuel prices has renewed consumer demand for lighter, more fuel efficient and environment-friendly cars, prompting the automotive industry to increase usage of aluminum auto parts.

Aluminum now ranks second behind steel among materials used in car manufacturing. Two years ago, the average aluminum content of cars worldwide has already reached close to 280 pounds, with the average in the North American auto industry even higher at an average of 319 pounds. The world average aluminum content of cars in 2002 has been estimated at 274 pounds and at 251 pounds, clearly indicating an uptrend which in the process had aluminum auto parts overtook plastic and iron in usage by the automobile industry.

Reducing the weight of the vehicle is among the primary avenues by which car manufacturers endeavour to reduce the automobile’s consumption of fuel and emission of greenhouse gases. Car designers estimate that a 10% weight reduction in automobiles could reduce fuel consumption by 6-8%. If the steel body of a car is changed to aluminum, weight could be reduced by 50%. This in turn would result in an estimated savings of 3,000 liters of fuel and gas emission reduction by 7,500 kilograms during the entire lifetime of the average car. The growing list of aluminum auto parts include instrument support panels, cylinder heads, engine blocks, wheels, front and rear bumper beams, side impact beams, engine subframe assemblies, suspension components, roof structures and closure panels.

Purpose of Die Casted Aluminum Heatsinks in 2022

Purpose of Die Casted Aluminum Heatsinks
Aluminium is the ideal raw material to be used in making heat sinks because this part should be very durable. Aluminium is known to be a more durable metal compared to other metals including steel. At the same time, it is very abundant and easy to acquire which makes it a cheap material as well. Aluminum Heatsinks are used in electronic products and even appliances. Its purpose is to divert the heat produced by the electrical wires from the other more sensitive parts of the product. In other words, it is used as a safety feature to insure that the electrical device or appliance work perfectly and do not overheat.
Aluminum Heatsinks are used in many products all over the world which means that they are needed in large quantities at any given time. To produce them in an efficient and fast manner, the process known as die casting is used.
There are just three simple steps in die casting Aluminum Heatsinks. The first step is to take the aluminium bar and liquefy it by heating the bar. Once the aluminium is turned to liquid, the next step is to inject it to moulds or castings so that it will take on its proper shape. When the casting cools, all that is left is to polish it and a few finishing touches.
Die casting can create consistent results in a fast amount of time. At the same time, it is a relatively cheap process which makes it a very popular method in making not just heat sinks, but other aluminium parts as well.

Aluminum Lighting Fixtures that work for you in 2022

Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts — Tags: Cast Parts, Die Casting Lighting Parts, Die Casting Parts, Lighting Fixture Castings — admin @ 12:00 pm

Aluminum lighting fixtures are at work for you

Whenever your car stops at a red light, chances are one of the commonplace, yet unnoticed, aluminum lighting fixtures has just served well in keeping order in your daily life. Indeed, street traffic light housings are not the only applications of aluminum lighting fixtures because of the many benefits offered by these die cast products.

For some time in the past, the production of lighting fixtures was a labor-intensive process, requiring the lengthy and laborious process of welding different pieces together. Naturally, this process is also costly and imposed limits on the shapes that could be designed. However, with the advances in die casting technology, aluminum lighting fixtures have been developed. Through die casting turning out products that are already in net shape, mass-production bringing in economies of scale has been made possible. The less-expensive aluminum lighting fixtures could likewise be designed into any desirable shape and powder-coated for a good-looking finish.

Aluminum’s light weight also contributed to shipping cost reduction, making these products an attractive option vis-à-vis their steel counterparts which could be heavier by as much as one-third. While plastic lighting fixtures would be lighter, these would not last as long as the aluminum lighting fixtures. This longevity is brought about by the superb thermal properties of aluminum which likewise enable its applications in various lighting requirements especially when high temperature bulbs are used. Common applications for aluminum lighting fixtures in addition to traffic light housings include those for garage lighting, hanging lights, airport runway lights and video camera lights.

Various Forms of Aluminum Castings in 2022

Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts — Tags: Cast Parts, Casting Aluminum, Die Casting Parts, Die Casting Process — admin @ 12:00 pm

Various Forms of Aluminum Casting
Aluminum is considered versatile, first and foremost because it is one of the only metals around that can be cast using all sorts of casting processes. Die casting, sand casting, plaster casting, continuous casting, investment casting and permanent mold casting, in this case, all fall under aluminum casting. Squeeze casting, lost foam, and hot isostatic pressing are also some applications associated with the process.
When deciding on which process of aluminum casting to use, one must take into consideration the cost of each type and the quality of material that it will yield. Many aluminum alloy castings are made using the above processes, but the difference in results are great and many in number. For example, when die casting, air can be trapped in the casting and thus results in porosity. It cannot be eliminated, and aluminum die castings are thus lower in strength than mold castings.
Die casting is mostly catered towards aluminum alloys because it is considered the best material for the process, and it is easy to obtain. It is also the most popular aluminum casting process and is good for mass production of small, detailed parts. Millions of copies of alloys are produced to serve as parts for various machines and tools, seen everyday in one’s life. Many house tools are made using aluminum die casts, and many structures outside also require similarly small parts. Permanent mold casting, on the other hand, is better suited for much larger parts and thus yield in stronger material for much bigger mechanical structures.

The Basics of Cold Chamber Die Castings in 2022

Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts — Tags: Die Casting Company, Die Casting Parts, Die Casting Process — admin @ 12:00 pm

The Basics of Cold Chamber Die Castings
Cold chamber die castings are a process of die casting that use, instead of a hot chamber, a cold one. When starting the process, the molten metal is taken from the crucible and then inserted into a shot sleeve. Afterwards, a hydraulically operated plunger pushes the molten metal into the die. In order to minimize the shrinkage that usually occurs during silicification, as many material as possible is forced into the die cavity. Injection pressures usually have to reach over 10,000 psy or 70,000 KPa in order for the machine to function the way it should.
Cold chamber die castings are usually needed when the alloy is not eligible for use in hot-chamber machines for a variety of reasons. Such metals that require the cold chamber include aluminum, copper, zinc and magnesium alloys. Beforehand, the materials must be melted using a furnace. The problem with using cold chamber die castings is that the cycle time is a lot slower, since the molten metal needs to be transferred to the cold-chamber machine from the furnace.
When die casting, the dies needed are made out of steel because typical cast iron cannot take high pressures. This can serve as another setback to using the cold chamber, for the dies end up being very expensive, since steel is a costly metal. The dies can contain multiply cavities, or just one mold cavity, and there must be two dies – one for separation, and one for ejection of the final product. Many kinds of cold chamber machines are available with various features, but all of them function at maximum efficiency.
