Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Steel Advantages
Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Steel Advantages. High pressure die casting is the process used to make aluminum die cast parts and chassis castings. This process is now becoming more and more popular in several major manufacturing industries because of its many advantages.
Furthermore, Aluminum is a great metal to work with. Unlike other metals, it has plenty of strengths. The metal can be found almost everywhere in the planet. Supply will not run out, so it is easy to acquire and not heavy on your pockets.
Advantages of aluminum chassis castings over steel include:
- Aluminum can be stronger than steel
- three times greater axial load strength
- Faster production rate. In fact, production quantities can be done within a few days instead of several weeks!
- Fewer failures and returns to the OEM
- Weight is lighter by two and a half times for lesser shipping costs
- Less finishing costs
- Raw parts manufacturing costs are much less
- Better looking parts
Also, you can produce aluminum die casts according to your preference and specifications, such as the trim, clean, machine, inspect, powder coat and the package of your aluminum cast parts.
The use of aluminum castings over still helps you reduce weight, boost strength, and save you more money.

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. 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. The deadline to submit your casting is July 1, 2016. Don’t hesitate (Article from NADCA, visit their website for more details)

Golf Products made from Aluminum Die Casting
Golf Products made from Aluminum Die Casting. Golf products are just one of the many things that you can produce with aluminum die casting. This process, known popularly as die casting, involves producing parts made out of strong, cost-efficient, and durable alloys and materials. This is done by forcing molten metal into aluminum or steel die cast molds through high pressure. Interestingly enough, the molds being used can be designed in such a way that they can produce complex shapes that make it more durable, tolerable, and long-lasting. Golf handles, balls, and parts used in golf carts are just some of the golfing equipment that can be made with aluminum die casting.
Because aluminum die casting produces the parts fast and are known to be durable, stable, and can be made into different shapes, most manufacturers of golf products use this method to create their aluminum golf products. Addressing the need to produce golf products that actually improve a player’s game, many companies are now selling aluminum golf products in the market today. Golf players prefer aluminum die castings of their golf products not only because of their cheaper prices but also when molded, shaped, and produced properly, these products can improve their game and lessen their handicaps. Some examples of these golf products are golf ball warmers, the heads of golf clubs, aluminum handles, brackets, and knobs in golf pull carts, and so on and so forth.

50 Percent Duty on Aluminum Imports

As the White House prepares to submit the Trans-Pacific Partnership to Congress in the coming months, it has been touting its record on trade enforcement to persuade lawmakers to vote for the 12-nation pact. The United Steelworkers union on Monday upped the ante on that front by asking President Barack Obama to impose a 50 percent duty on aluminum imports from China and other suppliers as soon as July.
The U.S. International Trade Commission would normally take up to six months to investigate the Section 201 petition for global import relief and make recommendations to Obama, who would have another two months to decide what action to take. However, the union is asking the ITC to make a finding of “critical circumstances” within 60 days so Obama can act quickly to keep additional U.S. aluminum smelters from closing.
If the trade panel makes that determination, the president would then have 30 days to approve some of type of provisional relief while the Section 201 case proceeds for another six to eight months, Terry Stewart, a lawyer for the union group, said.
The timing isn’t ideal for Obama’s TPP push. The aluminum case potentially puts the president on the spot by forcing him to decide whether to impose the 50-percent “provisional” duty sought by the steelworkers while the Section 201 investigation proceeds. If he decides against it or puts in place some lesser relief, that could jeopardize potential votes for the TPP pact.
Mothers Day 2016 and Candy
In six days – Sunday, May 8th is Mothers Day 2016.
Why do we celebrate Mothers Day? For “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world” – Anna Jarvis. The US holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at Saint Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Saint Andrew’s Methodist Church has an International Mother’s Day Shrine now to remember. Her campaign to make “Mother’s Day” a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. The mother, Ann Jarvis, had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War. Ann created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers.
Traditional gifts to Mothers include: flowers, candy, a dinner at a nice restaurant or a spa treatment. Whatever you decide to do for your mother, remember to do something.
