Aluminum Prices March 2022

Die Casting Alloy Materials Are Crazy. I am getting calls from the customers of my competitors asking that I quote a part price. I always refuse to quote because my competitor is facing the same material cost increases I am facing. Some die casting materials, like za27, are not available today. I will have to wait a few weeks for material. I’ve never seen this before.

In the past, prior to 2020, the die casting metal alloy prices were like gentle waves on the ocean, they go up, they come down. I have always ridden the waves in the past by not increasing or changing the part prices for material increases. But I can’t ride the increased material costs anymore.

Today, the cost of aluminum alloy for die casting increased another $0.05 a pound. Zinc alloys have risen similarly. That is an increase that I have never seen in my 30 years in business. My customers will also unfortunately have to pay a higher part price Or I cannot supply them the parts.

If you have a good supplier, pay the higher part cost. They cannot avoid the cost increases. Die Casting Aluminum Alloy Prices in March 2022 are Crazy.

Aluminum Lighting Fixtures to Lighten up Your Home in 2022

Aluminum Lighting Fixtures

Aluminum Lighting Fixtures to Lighten up Your Home. Lighting fixtures are primarily for creating artificial illumination. A lighting fixture consists of the light source, an opening that could either have lenses or none, a light reflector that controls the light and directs it towards a certain point, an electrical counterweight, a light housing for protective purposes, and a cable connecting to the power source. Lighting fixtures can be classified as either outdoor or indoor lighting fixtures.

Prior to the introduction of die casting, parts used in lighting purposes were made by welding parts together. This process was impractical; it was slow, expensive, and labor extensive. Today however, lighting fixtures are produced through die casting, a process which involves the pressurizing of molten metals into mold cavities, which is followed by a cooling process. Die casting is extremely advantageous if your objective is to manufacture substantial amounts of small to medium-sized lighting parts with excellent details and features.

Aluminum, a strong, lightweight metal, is the widely-used metal for die cast lighting parts because of its sturdiness, electrical conductivity and good thermal properties. The production of aluminum die castings is also better than with other metals because the former could be produced in net shape, doing away with welding.

Die cast aluminum lighting fixtures are used extensively in the lighting components found in parking garages and medical offices. These are also incorporated in street traffic lights, outdoor lights, wall lighting fixtures and bullet lighting fixtures. Aluminum lighting fixtures are also used for aerospace lighting, medical lighting, automobile lighting and marine lighting.

Aluminum Bracket Hardware–How are they Made in 2022?

Aluminum Bracket Hardware – How are they Made? Brackets are used in many ways. Basically, their main purpose is to hold something in place. They are there so that something that shouldn’t move does not. When it comes to these brackets, they have to be very strong and should last long. In this case, aluminum is the perfect choice to make these brackets.

Aluminum Bracket Hardware has several advantages over steel brackets. First of all, aluminum is cheaper compared to steel. Aluminum Brackets Hardware can also last longer compared to steel made brackets, at the same time, aluminum can last longer than steel brackets. Most of all, Aluminum Brackets Hardware is made through die casting, which means that no welding is necessary in completing these brackets. A solid bracket is stronger compared to a bracket with welding points as these points can become weak links in the bracket. It is important that these brackets are strong and reliable so that it can achieve its purpose of not letting anything move when it shouldn’t.

Aluminum Brackets Hardware is commonly made through the process known as die casting. As said before, because they are made through die casting they are stronger as they do not need to be welded together. The first step in this process is to melt the aluminum bars into liquid form so that it can be injected into large metal casings which are actually die casting molds to give the liquid its shape. Once it is injected, the castings will be cooled down. After it cools and opened, the end product is new Aluminum Brackets Hardware.

Kinetic Die Casting utilizes die casting to manufacture parts like aluminum car parts, airplane parts, lighting parts and much, much more. If you would like to request a quote, please visit our website:Die Casting quote
