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: , , — 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.

    Purpose of Die Casted Aluminum Heatsinks in 2022

    Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts — Tags: , , , , , — 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 that work for you in 2022

    Filed under: Aluminum Casting Parts — Tags: , , , — 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: , , , — 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.
