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
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.

Pressure Die Casting vs. Sand Casting
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.

How are Bracket Hardware Made?
How are Bracket Hardware Made? Aluminum Brackets Hardware is used in the process of building houses and other structures. Mainly, these brackets are used to keep things in place during the construction phase when some parts or beams should not move. This part is also used in making chocolate fountains and lighting fixtures to hold the other parts together during the construction process so that it ends up perfectly in place. There are many uses for the Aluminum Die Casting Brackets Hardware which is why it needs to be produced fast and cheap and not only that, it is required to be very strong. This is why aluminum is used in making this bracket because aluminum isn’t only abundant, it is considered to be stronger than steel and lighter as well.
Since Aluminum Brackets Hardware is made through a process known as die casting, it becomes even stronger than steel brackets. The latter is made in pieces and assembled by welding them together. In die casting, there is no need to weld the pieces. This process starts with melting the aluminum bar into liquid. Once the metal is liquefied, it can be placed in large die cast molds so that it will take on a new shape, in this case the shape of a bracket. When it cools down overtime, the result is a single piece of bracket and not several pieces that need to be weld together as welding points can create weak spots.
Furthermore, Aluminum Brackets Hardware is an integral part of construction and the manufacturer needs to be able to trust this part. With the die casting process, the manufacturer will be able to rely on it a hundred percent.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum die castings as Die Casting Aluminum Brackets. As a Die Casting Company, we make these parts every day and ship thousands of these aluminum die castings every week.
