Because the increased use of aluminum cast parts has reached new heights in recent years, some users believe making them is just easy. They couldn’t be more wrong.

Aluminum cast parts are made using a process that is strict, accuracy-conscious, and perfection-oriented. This process is no less than aluminum casting, one of the most preferred methods in casting these days because of the vast number of advantages they offer to both consumers and manufacturers. Around for over a 100 years, aluminum casting is an old process that involves the injection of molten aluminum into reusable molds, also known as dies, with the use of high pressure.

There are different kinds of metals that can be used in the process; they may be ferrous or non-ferrous. Held under high pressure, the chosen material remains in the chamber until it solidifies or hardens into a net-shaped part and becomes what becomes known as a aluminum cast part. Precision is the key in making aluminum cast parts that are shaped and measured to fit perfection. The aluminum casting process is regarded in the metalworking industry as the most versatile one. No other metal casting process existing today allows for a wide array of options in sizes, shapes, design intricacy, measurement preciseness, and dimensional tolerance.

There are so many things that can be done using the casting process in order to satisfy consumer uses for both commercial and industrial purposes. Homes and offices, as well as private and public entities, can benefit greatly from the choices available. The process of making aluminum cast parts is indeed a valuable one

Zinc die casting tools are made of hardened steel and they can come in single cavity tools or multiple cavity tools. They also vary in size, shape and design. Depending on the need of the manufacturer, Zinc die casting tooling can cost from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars each.

Best Choice in a Die Casting Company

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , — admin @ 2:27 am

Best Choice in a Die Casting Company. A die casting company based in the US is one of the vital cogs of American industry. It estimated that metal castings are in use in 90% of all finished goods manufactured in America today. Of these total metal castings, more than one-third is accounted for by the die casting industry. These thousands of die casting company products are vital components in a wide range of machines and equipment ranging from transmission parts and automobile engines to computers and medical tools.

Through advances in technology, an American die casting company remains in firm a position to flourish in the rapidly globalizing world economy. The North American die casting industry is a world leader in terms of innovation, better productivity, and product quality. Within arms reach of the US die casting company are sophisticated systems and methods automating the die casting process and providing continuous quality control. These include computer-based systems to pour molten metal into cold chamber machines, lubricate dies, complemented with other integrated functions like trimming and quenching castings. Shot after shot of castings are consistently achieved through microprocessors that determine metal velocity, hydraulic pressure, shot rod position and other production information employed to fine tune the die casting process.

With such a technological advantage, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) which have been sourcing die casts from overseas have now begun to revert to die casting company sources in the US. The main reasons cited for this favorable shift is quality, proximity and logistics. Many of the OEMs have realized that sourcing from overseas suppliers is not as cost-effective as it seemed, after having to deal with substandard and delayed die casting deliveries from their foreign suppliers.

Zinc die casting tools are made of hardened steel and they can come in single cavity tools or multiple cavity tools. They also vary in size, shape and design. Depending on the need of the manufacturer, Zinc die casting tooling can cost from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars each.

Die Casting Tooling and Inserts

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 7:43 pm

Die casting Tooling and Inserts. Die cast tooling are called insert die or die casting molds, or casting dies. They are available in several sizes, values and styles. Costs of die cast tooling vary. Trim dies cost about a few hundred dollars. Cavity inserts cost a few thousand dollars, while the large part complete die cast tool package cost about several thousand dollars or more. The least expensive form of die cast tooling is the die casting tooling inserts. These high pressure inserts are only sufficient steel to manufacture the cavities and a little more steel to accommodate the fluctuation of molten metal temperature. In order to extend the tooling life of these inserts, heat treating to the proper hardness is required. Too hard cavity inserts will result to failure from the high temperature of the molten metal. This will crack the steel. On the other hand, too soft cavity inserts will result to quick damage and wear due to extension of the molten metal injecting under force.

When a die casting tool maker has no sufficient knowledge or experience, or does not follow the American Die Casting Standards, there is a risk that he will not use enough steel in the die cast insert. This will result to a lesser potential life of the inserts.

The Prototype Die Casting Tooling Inserts has similar information as the die casting tooling insert. The only difference is the die casting tooling is of lower grade steel and not heat treated. This type of insert is less costly than a hardened cavity insert. Also, it can be produced in a shorter time. This tool, however, is damaged more easily. It cannot be altered or modified easily.

Roles of Die Casting Tooling

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 7:39 pm

Four general roles of die casting tooling and four general types of dies. Your die cast tooling has four general roles in any production process. The first role of the tooling or the die is to hold the molten metal that is fired into it and allow the molten metal to take shape. It will also provide a means for this metal to get into its rightful place where it can stay and assume the shape for which the future product is designed. The die casting die or tooling will also effectively remove the heat from the injected molten metal and for that metal to solidify over time. And finally it is expected that the dies will allow for the removal of the casting.

If there are four general roles that can be performed by the dies, there are also four general forms of dies that can be used in any industrial applications. The first type of die casting tooling is the single cavity, the one that can produce one component. The second form of tooling is the multiple-cavity that can produce a number of identical parts. This form of tooling is often used for many industrial applications like in auto industry in the manufacture of many identical auto parts at one time. The third type of the tooling used is called the unit die and this type of die has the capability to produce many different parts at one time. And lastly, the fourth type of die for use in industrial applications is the combination die that can manufacture many parts for the assembly.
