I received a phone call in recent weeks from our national organization, North American Die Casters Association of die casting companies (NADCA) about Arrow Diecasters. Somehow, NADCA did not know that Arrow Die Casting Company was closed. Arrow closed a …

Aluminum Manufacturing
Aluminum Manufacturing. Aluminum is widely used in die casting because of the properties that it possesses. Aluminum is useful even in everyday life because that is why die casting companies produce die cast parts made from this alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance. It can also take high temperatures so the things that need to be heat resistant are usually made of aluminum alloy. The things that also need high corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity are made of aluminum. Due to its high dimensional stability, aluminum alloy is used to make thin walls and complex shapes.
Furthermore, Aluminum die casting part types can depend on the combination of alloying elements such as silicon and copper. Zinc can also be used as alloying element to aluminum. The combination of the properties of the different alloys allows the production of high quality products. Silicon increases melt fluidity that is why complex parts such as connector housings and thin walls are made of aluminum with silicon. When copper is used as the alloying element, the part has increased hardness and decreased ductility.
Aluminum part types can be differentiated on the amount of alloying element present. Aluminum types are Alloy A380, A360, A369, A390, A413, and A518. They are series of aluminum alloys so expect to see alloy types with decimals. The Alloy A380 is the most common aluminum alloy used in die casting. Lawnmower housings and gears are usually made of AA 380. Escalator parts and conveyor parts are usually made of Alloy 518. Parts that need high corrosion resistance are made of Alloy A360 aluminum parts.
Parts differ in the content of alloying element that makes the aluminum part types. They also cater to the different needs of the consumers and the producers as well. These are the most common Aluminum Alloy Types.

Zinc and Aluminum Alloys
Zinc Die Casting ZINC-ALUMINUM (ZA) ALLOYS. There are several different types of alloys available. Die casting alloys can have physical and mechanical properties for pretty much any application a designer or consumer may require.
Zinc die-casting alloys are stronger, harder, and more flexible than other alloys such as aluminum or magnesium. Zinc alloys could be used to cast amazingly miniature, multifaceted shapes. They might be manufactured smoother, modest, more exact, and at lower cost. Zinc die castings can additionally be painted and can be better plated than aluminum or magnesium alloys. Zinc’s low temperature point allows for a longer die life, even when making large quantities of parts. Zinc die-casting is less costly allowing segment fashioners and clients to create tight dimensional tolerances, quick creation process durations, slender divider segments, and high mechanical properties.
To a great degree miniature castings are transported on distinctive hot-chamber machines with high pressure durations. These machines produce close-tolerance castings that also does auxiliary trimming or machining operations. The four-slide machine uses sliding to deliver intensely perplexing and tight-tolerance segments with openings perpendicular to one another, under-cuts, opposite edges, and strings.
Limits on the measure of castings – more appropriate for little castings up to something like seventy-five pounds. Rigging and fail hard costs are high.

Zinc Alloys
Die Casting Zinc Alloys Quick Info. Die casting zinc alloys is a common practice amid metalworkers due to the fact that zinc alloys have several uses. 
Zinc has decent properties: it doesn’t rust, it is light yet durable, it’s non-corrosive, it is multipurpose, and it is easily flexible. Zinc may be shared with other materials such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, and tin, to state a couple. Their arrangements accomplish definite effects dependent on the quantities and types of materials used and the die casting process.
To die cast zinc metals, zinc and other alloys are joined via chemical developments and heated under high temperatures to become fluid. When they attain this molten state, they are forced to pour into die casts where they take on the mold’s design. Upon cooling, the metals keep the shape and stay that way until they are heated again. Here are some ways that zinc alloys are used:
• To coat metal items and guard them from corrosion
• To protect electrical pieces
• To form unbending metal components
• To substitute costly metalworking supplies
• To help as a lightweight alternative for some metal materials
Die casting zinc alloys are worthwhile in generating a lot of things, such as fixtures, vehicles, equipment, tools, weaponry, etc. It is chosen to other means of creating zinc alloys because die casts make it easier for the alloys to be shaped exactly in a little time. Also, it doesn’t take much exertion to pour molten alloy into the cast and let them set resolutely as matched to forging and hammering. Because of its various benefits, die casting zinc alloys has continued to be a extensive practice in metallurgy.

Tooling Facts
Zinc Die Casting Tooling Facts. Zinc die casting tooling is a technique to form molten zinc into a shape using molds called dies or die casts. The tooling is the mold utilized in the procedure, and it is largely composed of a cover and ejector. The zinc is melted into molten form and then powerfully emptied into the cover die with the container bearing the wanted pattern. The melted zinc settles on the mold and toughens. Later, it is removed through the ejector. Die casts for zinc can have added features such as trim casts, inserts and multiple cavities reliant on what needs to be formed.
There is a request for 
zinc die casting tooling because zinc has plenty of perfect characteristics:
Zinc die cast tooling is made of tough materials to safeguard that the liquefied zinc will be correctly shaped into the anticipated form. There are likely mistakes in die casting such as porosity, uneven zinc distribution, etc. A great zinc die caster will be extremely cautious in following the normal guidelines so that quality zinc items are manufactured.
