Aluminum die castings: unsung heroes of modern machines

If there are unsung heroes in equipment manufacturing count aluminum die castings in. For despite their wide applications in various types of machines and equipment that make lives both easy and productive every day, these products are rarely seen. For the most part, aluminum die castings are hidden vital cogs that help make cars moving, computers humming, and home and building structures safe and fun places to work and live in.

Aluminum die castings are the product of tried and tested metalworking technology developed and improved over the years. Essentially, die casting involves injecting, through high pressure, molten aluminum or any other metal into specially designed molds or dies to form specific products of various shapes and sizes. Aluminum is most suitable for die casting because it is a malleable alloy with electrical conductivity, is strong, heat-absorbent and corrosion-resistant, and is an abundant material. Hence, aluminum could be a replacement material for steel as well as plastics in many applications for the manufacture of industrial and household equipment.

Another advantage going for aluminum die castings is that they can be easily mass-produced. This leads to economies of scale, making these products less expensive in the long haul. Both decorative and strengthening features could also be incorporated to the molds, further enhancing the cost-effective use of castings made from aluminum.

So today, when you see a car, a computer CPU, street or traffic lighting, sing some praises for aluminum die castings. Chances are great that die casting components, humble they may be within each functioning equipment, are delivering a vital role like any other material to keep harmony and order in modern living.

Using Aluminum Die Castings in 2022

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

Using Aluminum Die Castings
Aluminum Die Castings can go a long way in helping manufacturers meet their requirements and bulk orders for aluminium parts. This manufacturing process allows for faster, easier and more efficient way of making the parts needed for certain products such as lighting fixtures, car parts, aircraft brackets, handles, heat sinks and amplifiers among other things. Aluminum Die Castings can accommodate both low and high quantity requirements for small and medium sized parts. Although there are limitations with this process, it still proves to be very useful in most industries today.
Now, why use aluminium in die casting? Actually, most other non ferrous and some ferrous metals can also be used in die casting, however aluminium has gained more popularity and is in higher demand. This is because it can be handled easily, it is cheaper than most metals and it is ideal to use as parts in other cases because of its characteristics. It is very strong, durable, flexible and light.
So, how does Aluminum Die Castings work? Well, first the aluminium will be melted into liquid. This is done by exposing the aluminium bars into intense heating in furnaces. After a while, the metal becomes liquid and then it can be injected into moulds. These moulds have unique crevices which will be filled by the liquid metal. To make sure that it gets into every inch of the mould, pressure of up to 30,000 PSI is applied on the mould. This will give the liquid metal its new shape. Once it cools down, the moulds are opened and the liquid has hardened, a few refinements and the product or part is finished.

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

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

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 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.
