Unit Die Tooling in 2023
Kinetic Die Casting also makes Die Casting Unit Die Tooling.
Unit die tooling is usually larger than die cast tooling inserts and usually smaller than a complete mold. Unit die tooling uses less steel than a complete mold, but more steel than a die casting insert. Unit die tooling requires a master unit holder that sits in the die casting machine. Kinetic Die Casting has “master unit holders” in several diverse sizes to accommodate different sized unit dies.
Unit dies will set into a die casting machine faster and more easily than any other form of tooling. Die casting part size and weight are the biggest boundaries to whether a unit die tool is appropriate for your die cast part.
If you have unit die tooling, deliver it to us because we can manufacture aluminum die cast parts with your unit die tooling. Kinetic Die Casting has master holders in many sizes.
For more information, contact our web site and ask about Die Casting Unit Die Tooling.

Methods for making Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings
Methods for making Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings. What are heat sinks? They are usually fastened to electronic devices like those with integrated circuits to release heat when it is working. With that said, heat sinks need to have a wide surface area which will determine their capability to dissipate the heat.

Does Thicker Walls in Die Casting create Stronger Die Cast Parts in 2023?
Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many customers develop new products. There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to consider such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, and wall thicknesses.
Over the years, I have had to convince several buyers, engineers, and designers that increasing the thickness of the walls or other sections in a die casting part does not increase the part strength. In fact, it does the opposite. As the molten metal is injected through the gate, into the die casting mold, the metal freezes on the wall surfaces of the die on the die casting part exterior and interior. The metal contacting these die surfaces is denser and harder than the section sandwiched between the two wall surfaces.
The first .030” to .050” surface of the casting where the metal is denser is commonly called the “skin” of the die casting. The die casting skin is on both interior surfaces and exterior surfaces. The material between the two skin surfaces is weaker and less dense. A part that has a wall thickness of .080” would have a skin surface of about .060”, on the interior wall .030” and the exterior wall .030”. The section sandwiched between the two skins, approximately .020” would provide little strength.
Die Casting parts should not typically be thicker than .125”. On die casting parts with thicker walls than .125”, the increased thickness decreases the wall strength by increasing opportunities for porosity, shrinkage and laps. Parts that will be machined should only have less than .030” removed to preserve more of the die casting strength and to avoid exposing porosity.
When it comes to increasing strength in aluminum die casting parts, other methods are used. I will detail how to strengthen die casting parts in future articles.
Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company 800-524-8083, if you have a metal product that you are considering manufacturing. We will evaluate your design and make suggestions on other metal manufacturing processes when necessary. If die casting is the best option, we will assist you in material selection, tooling manufacture, and provide the cost for tooling and die casting parts.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures custom metal parts to their customer. If you would like more information about Kinetic Die Casting, please visit our website:Kinetic Die Casting Company

Zinc Die Casting and Its Use on Tools
Zinc Die Casting and Its Use on Tools. Hardware parts are chiefly made of metal. It is the most common material used for the production of tools because of its strength and robustness. Repairs, after all, need fortitude not only from the wielder of the tool but from the tool itself. A flexible screwdriver, after all, is not good in execution of its function if it is made of inferior material.
One process of manufacturing tools and other metal parts is zinc die casting. Hardware parts such as wrenches, electrical connectors, gearbox and turbine housings, and locks can be made out of zinc. This metal is a decent foundation of raw material because it shows characteristics that are primary in the mind of an astute customer: strength, ductility, and durability.
The strength, ductility, and durability alone are enough to persuade any person to change to materials made from zinc die casting. Zinc hardware parts made from zinc are assured to be durable, able to endure strong impacts from hammering, screwing, and bolting.
Apart from tools, zinc is also used in the construction of wires, parts of appliances and laptops, lights, aircrafts, and other objects. It can be used in various products because of its flexibility and endurance.
Construction and repair are two activities that need dependence on human forte as well as tools. It is but appropriate that the tools used in these activities match the stress and pressure essential by the jobs. Objects made of zinc may just be the best match for people who are looking for such.
