Problems for Container Shipping

Port of Long Beach CEO anticipates further pain for container shipping lines as global container shipping lines face one or two more years of pain as the industry consolidates amid overcapacity and weaker demand, according to the Port of Long Beach’s chief executive officer.
Container Ship
Slowing demand in China and Europe combined with a glut of container ships has pushed down freight prices. Long Beach is being hurt by the fallout as cargo volumes slumped 22 percent in April after CMA CGM SA shifted some business to neighboring Los Angeles, the busiest U.S. port, following its acquisition of Singapore’s Neptune Orient Lines Ltd. Volumes at the port, which derives more than 90 percent of its business from trade with Asia, should normalize in the third quarter. As interest rates and fuel prices rise, mergers and alliances designed to cut costs by sharing ships should proliferate. The port hopes to serve as a “facilitator of change” to bring together clients in alliances and mergers that will allow them to share not only ships but also information about container freight demand and availability.

As an American Manufacturing Company, this is great news. Kinetic Die Casting Company will increase our production capacity while our overseas competitors, these offshore die casting manufacturers, decrease ability to get products to America cheaply.

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Aluminum Casting Parts. As a die casting company, we make these parts every day and ship thousands of these aluminum die castings every week.

Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware

Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware. Hardware brackets are produced and used in many industries today, which is why it is a very important component that should be made and processed properly and correctly. Aluminum brackets are made as parts for lighting fixtures, automobiles, and even in construction because its main purpose is to keep all the parts stable, steady, and as much as possible, long lasting. Before, manufacturers would use steel to make these hardware brackets and would have to weld the pieces together. But these welded pieces become weak overtime, which makes it expensive, time-consuming, and you’d have to exert a lot of effort just to maintain it.

Therefore, this is why many manufacturers now see the advantages they get when they use aluminum die castings to make their hardware brackets. Die casting involves a process of forcing molten metal under high pressure to be able to produce complex yet more tolerable molds to create parts and housings for different things such as military weapons and die casting lighting fixtures. When making hardware brackets, manufacturers would create them using the process of aluminum die casting, afterwards shaping it easily into parts that they know would make it sturdier, more long-lasting, and of course cost-efficient as compared to steel.

2016 Die Casting Design Competition

Innovative Die Castings Wanted – Submit Your Entry to the International Die Casting Design Competition
NADCA

In a competitive global market, customers take notice of the best. North American Die Casters Association (NADCA) knows that competition improves the competitor. With its annual Die Casting Competition, it recognizes and rewards the outstanding casting designs of the year.

Entering and winning is one of the best ways to gain visibility with leading decision-makers. The competition is open to aluminum, magnesium, zinc die castings and other alloy families. Any number of castings may be entered. However, a separate entry form is required for each casting or assembly of castings. In addition, the metal surface cannot be improved or concealed by tumbling, shot blasting, coating or other surface treatments.

Judging is conducted by an independent panel of experts from the die casting industry, with no ties to eligible companies. The four equally weighed criteria are ingenuity of casting/product design; overall quality; cost savings; and market-expanding potential. Winning castings will be displayed during the 2016 Die Casting Congress & Tabletop in Columbus, OH and winners will be honored during the Die Casting Awards Luncheon. NADCA’s Die Casting Engineer Magazine, NADCA’s Website and the NADCA Design Website will also feature the winning castings.

This competition helps promote increased use of die castings by recognizing and publicizing outstanding designs. For more information on the 2016 International Die Casting Design Competition please visit, www.diecasting.org/castings/competition or contact Beau Glim at glim@diecasting.org.

Pressure Die Casting vs. Sand Casting

kineticdc logo
Pressure Die Casting vs. Sand Casting. At lower quantities sand casting is cheaper. Product quantities of over 1000 parts over a few years will cost less as a die casting. Aluminum sand cast tooling roughly costs from $500 – $7,500, depending on the size and complexity. Parts from sand casting cost $10 to $30 each. For 1000 parts the total cost is $37,500. 10,000 parts would cost over $300,000. Pressure die casting tooling on the other hand costs from $5,000 – $25,000, again depending on the size and complexity of the die cast parts. The cost for parts is between $2 to $5 each. 1000 parts would cost $30,000. A savings of $7,500. For 10,000 parts the cost would be $50,000, much less than $300,000 for sand casting parts. Die Casting Tooling can create from 100,000 parts to as much as 1,000,000 pressure die casting aluminum lighting parts.
