Aluminum Auto Parts

Because aluminum is lightweight and strong, aluminum die casting parts are used for automotive, car or automobile applications. Aluminum Auto Parts are necessary to reduce the weight of the automobile so cars can get better fuel economy. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) or Major auto manufactures love aluminum die casting for their auto parts because several thousand parts can be produced a year at a very low cost. Some OEM auto makers have their own die casting plants to produce their auto parts. Others contract with Jobshop die casters to produce their aluminum auto parts. Aftermarket auto parts manufacturing companies are companies that produce auto parts to be sold in stores. Aftermarket auto parts manufacturers use die cast aluminum auto parts because they are inexpensive to produce and are typically better quality than other aluminum part manufacturing processes. Prototype parts or Custom Parts or OEM parts and Aftermarket Auto parts come in various locations, such as:

Aluminum Die Casting Handles
Car door handles have been die cast as well as the aluminum handle hardware that opens the console and the trunk of the car.

Aluminum Valve Covers
Valve covers are very commonly die cast in aluminum because they hold a chrome look without using chrome plating. Valve covers need to diffuse heat and aluminum is a great conduit for thermal transfer.

Aluminum Wheels
Many wheels are thought to be made from magnesium but are in fact made from aluminum. Aluminum is very strong and can be polished to a high luster.

Aluminum Brackets
Many of the engine components are held into place using die cast aluminum brackets. The brackets hold the alternator and air conditioner into place.

Car Radiators are parts made of aluminum

Your car radiator is the primary cooling mechanism for your engine. Radiators are a simple and elegant solution to the need for engine cooling. Car radiator parts are mostly made of aluminum. Light and strong, aluminum is great for making car radiators. It is the material of choice for most of today’s radiators. Light and intelligently designed, aluminum radiators are standard on many of today’s new cars and trucks. Aluminum Car Parts

A small leak on your car Radiator can be indicating a larger problem. A cooling system that runs low too often is less efficient and you can damage your cooling system by letting the coolant level get too low. Too little coolant flow can be bad, but at normal and high operating temperatures, the rate at which coolant moves through the radiator does not change the amount of heat that is dissipated by the cooling cores. The amount of cooling will not be reduced even when the mean temperature of the coolant rises and flows faster.

Many cheap coolants do not have the corrosion protection, PH balancing, or sediment prevention that the top-quality coolants do. These low quality coolants do not have the same additives of name brand coolants. To help your engine stay cooler, rev up your engine slightly when you are overheating in traffic to help push more air across the cooling cores and more coolant through the engine.

All water-cooled car radiator parts have an automatically controlled electric fan on the radiator. The way the system is supposed to work is that, after the engine is started, the thermostat on the engine stays closed until the coolant temperature at the ENGINE reaches 87C (189F) degrees. It is the responsibility of the Radiator to keep the coolant temperature from running too high. However, if the temperature is too high it is not necessarily the radiator.

A poor radiator cap will not last as long or stay properly calibrated, and either open at too low or two high a pressure. Make sure your radiator cap is the proper one for your cooling system. Higher pressure means a higher boiling point, which means more efficient cooling. A new radiator cap is usually all that is required for this (but don’t over pressurize your radiator cores and wreck the whole system).

Most Car Radiators’ cooling system failures arise from poor radiator maintenance. Many radiator problems can be prevented with regular maintenance and periodic professional inspections of you car radiator and cooling system. The most common radiator problems are: leaky fittings or seams, fin deterioration and bond failure, electrolysis, cracked tank, and fan damage.

Aluminum Car Parts

Most of the parts made for cars (automobiles) are made from aluminum. Aluminum is a light and strong metallic alloy. Aluminum is corrosion resistant and also durable. When cars were first on the road, most of the parts were made from iron or steel. It was thought at the time that steel and iron were strong and that parts for cars needed to be strong. It would surprise most people the percentage of aluminum car parts are in many automobiles.
