Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum a Perfect Choice

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , — admin @ 1:46 am

Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum a Perfect Choice. Every die casting company obviously makes it a point to emphasize the benefits of aluminum. That is why it has become the perfect choice for the industry in this time and age. Why is that so? Just imagine if the car itself is made up of iron parts. Do you think the cargo carriers will be able to transport a bunch of cars without any hassles at all? The answer to everything is basically simple. The aluminum is one of the very few lightest metals known in the world.

For an automobile company, casting the aluminum provides a reduction in the weight of the entire car. This is the reason which has paved the way for the replacement of the iron parts. The same holds true for both the transport and aerospace industries. The casting of the liquid aluminum alloys into the metal molds is also very economical. They are likewise too practical to use for any die casting company methods. Apply gravity, high pressure, or low pressure die casting and you will still come up with the finest finished surfaces and close tolerance. The metal is not difficult to shape which therefore prevents too much application of machining.

The die casting companies in Australia and the United States are all adhering to one common idea and that is to employ the use of the aluminum alloys to achieve the best final products! After all, who doesn’t want to save much on time, effort, and cost for the entire production process?

Extending the Lifespan of Die Cast Tools

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 7:13 pm

Extending the lifespan of die cast tools. Die casting tools are hard-working tools. These tools are always subjected to a lot of pressures and open to thermal loads too. These tools are always heated and then cooled and since the heating and the cooling is not done uniformly on these tools, stress of the affected areas can get stress. When the stress continues for a long period of time then the Die cast tools in question may get worn out and may get cracks. Cracks on these tools is not an option for the business that requires efficiency and that sticks to the time frame, and for this reason it is best to address the problem and if necessary, the lifespan of the tools should be extended.

There is one effective way to remedy the situation and to extend the life of the Die casting tooling. And that can be done thru welding. Welding is the technology that everyone should know since this technology can repair these tools and can effectively extend the lifespan of the tools. Welding is just one of the many present technologies that can be used to remedy the problems on the tools. But do remember that the life of the Die cast tools right after the welding will depend on the quality of welding and other repair jobs done and the additional steps and measures taken. The appropriate welding of the die cast tools to extend its life will be appropriate and beneficial to the tools if the adequate filler materials are selected, the suitable pre-heating temperature is adopted and the forging of the beads when welding is performed.

Attaining Strong and Lightweight Aluminum Parts with Low Production Cost

Attaining Strong and Lightweight Aluminum Parts with Low Production Cost. The invention of powerful die casting machines and refinement of the die casting process paved the way for mass producing metal alloy parts.

With the use of aluminum, the cost of producing high quality metallic parts also became cheaper. Aluminum parts types are the cheapest finished product that can be produced from die casting process.

This allows companies to boost their profit levels because they can mass produce aluminum parts types faster but at a much lower overhead. This also reduced the cost of metallic finished products because assemblers can use cheaper but high quality aluminum parts types.

Aluminum parts are also lightweight but are stronger than other types of metal alloys. That is why aluminum parts are commonly used in the airline and car manufacturing industries. Aluminum parts can also be made as container boxes and enclosures.

For example, a computer hard disk uses aluminum enclosure which was made through the die casting process. Because aluminum can conduct electricity, it would be easier for manufacturers of electronic products to ground the aluminum parts in order to protect the interior electronics of finished products.

Die cast producers favor aluminum parts because they are lightweight, versatile, and cheaper to produce. Use of aluminum parts also reduced the cost of production of different consumer and industrial goods resulting to lower market prices.

Aluminum parts are also versatile. Aside from industrial use, aluminum parts can also be used on finished consumer products such as chassis of guitar amplifiers, roofing molds, Golf Products, lighting fixtures, toys, and other common items that you can see in the market.

Zinc Alloy Die Casting Processes

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling,Zinc Casting Parts — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 9:26 pm

Die Casting Processes with the Use of Zinc Alloy. Die casting is the process by which molten ferrous metal, e.g., zinc, magnesium, copper, lead, tin, aluminum, etc., are molded into cavities and placed under pressure to form. The method of die casting is ideal if the application needed is in large quantity and should be well-detailed and has fine quality. Zinc is a non-ferrous metal that is popularly used for die casting. This is due to the fact that zinc alloys have many characteristics that far exceed other metals. Zinc alloys have high strength and hardness, has high thermal and electrical conductivity, low cost, good finishing characteristics, outstanding fluidity, and excellent corrosion resistance among others.

In the zinc die casting process, two processes are involved, the hot chamber method and the cold chamber method. These two zinc die casting processes make use of various types of metal alloys during the production of parts in the zinc die casting process. The hot chamber method involves the process wherein a steel die is filled with a pool of molten metal, all the time maintaining pressure, until the metal hardens. The second process, the cold chamber method, involves the use of two separate chambers, first to melt, then to hold the melted zinc alloy before it is poured into a shot cylinder and afterwards inject them to the die casting die. Before, the metal alloys used in Zinc die casting processes are tin and lead. The zinc alloy however gained popularity and is now the first choice when it comes to die casting.

Die Casting Tooling Construction and Design

Filed under: Cast Parts,Die Casting Company,Die Casting Tooling — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 7:03 pm

Die casting tooling construction and design. In die casting procedures, the die casting tooling takes an important role. The tooling is the equipment that forms the product, and in the case of die casting in auto industry the tooling will help shape the auto part or accessory. This is also known as the die and the product is often made from the alloy tool steels and will have two general sections. In other tooling, it will have more than two sections.

The first section in the diecasting tooling is the fixed die half or the cover half and the second major component of the tooling is the ejector die half and this tooling component will allow for the removal of the castings. The casting may be crafted from a variety of materials. Some popular materials used include the non-ferrous metals like zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead and the tin-based alloys.

Aside from the two distinct components in most tooling, some dies will also feature that moveable slides and sections so as to produce other characteristics on the finished products. There will be holes in the fixed die half and these holes will allow for the entrance of the molten metal into the cavity. The cover half on the other hand will have passageways that can route the molten metal into the cavity. To ensure that no amount of molten metal will get out of the cavity, the die cast tooling will also feature locking pins. Ejector pins can be observed too and these pins will help remove the cast part.
