Aluminum Alloys for Kinetic Die Castings
Aluminum Alloys for Die Castings. Aluminum die casting alloys are metals produced from a combination of two or more metallic elements bearing characteristics applicable to various precision parts. These materials are often used in different industries like electronics, automobile parts, aerospace, appliances, furniture and fixtures, etc.
Below is a list of different kinds of aluminum alloys used by many die casting manufacturing companies.
A360
When high corrosion resistance is the main consideration in producing metal parts, aluminum alloy A360 is used. With shear strength measured at 28 ksi and Tensile Yield Strength at 25 ksi, this alloy definitely absorbs great amount of pressure. At increasing temperature, this alloy demonstrates superior strength. This however is quite difficult to cast and more expensive than A380 alloy. This is the second most common die casting alloy used to produce metal parts like automobile products.
A380
This is the most common and the least expensive from among aluminum alloys for die casting, so much so that it is the most widely cast of all the aluminum alloys available. It has the ultimate combination of material properties applicable to automotive parts, engine brackets, cases of transmission and gears, home and office appliances, hand and power tools, electronics and communications equipment and furniture and fixtures.
A383
Because this aluminum alloy is related to Alloy A380, it is also offered as an alternative to the said Alloy. Although it costs higher compared to Alloy A380, its capabilities goes beyond polished finish. It is used to cast metals with intricate components. It offers high resistance to forces at elevated temperatures.
A413
This is the lightest aluminum alloy with high level of hardness, highest level of thermal and electrical conductivity compared to other aluminum alloys. It is the best choice when choosing parts for hydraulic cylinders and pressure vessels.

What Are Aluminum Heatsinks by KDC?
What Are Aluminum Heatsinks? Electronic devices and circuits have revolutionized our way of living in such a manner that no one would have ever imagined. It might seem hard to imagine a day going by without needing to use such devices. Homes, offices, and schools depend so much on them for day-to-day operations.
However great are the benefits that these devices bring, they would never have become possible if not for this tiny component – heatsink. A heatsink is responsible for making electronic devices work for long hours without overheating.
The most common types of heatsinks are aluminum heatsinks. As the name suggests, these types are made up of aluminum alloys. In general, aluminum alloys give higher thermal resistance than other types. Copper heatsinks are said to give better and faster heat conductivity than aluminum heatsinks but they are more expensive. This is one of the main reasons for the popularity of aluminum-based heatsinks.
In the passing of time, companies have developed varieties of aluminum-based heatsinks. The most common of them is the 6063-T5. It has an electrical resistivity of 3.16e-006 ohm-cm, a heat capacity of 0.9 J/g-C, and a thermal conductivity of 209 W/m-K. It is cooled from hot working and artificially aged at elevated temperature.
In terms of providing higher thermal conductivity, the 1050A is the better option. Its thermal conductivity is at 229 W/m-K. This type is used in most cable sheathings because of its excellent corrosion resistance. Another more commonly used type is the 6061. Its heat-resistance capability is at 193 W/m-K.
Aluminum heatsinks rank third in terms of heat productivity, next to copper and silver. However, aside from being the most cost-effective, they are the most “user-friendly”. Due to them being lighter in weight, they are easier to work with than copper and silver based heatsinks.

Almond Roca Special February 2015
At Christmas each year, Bob Thomas (President of Kinetic Die Casting Company) and his family make Almond Roca for our current customers and employees.
This homemade Almond Roca is made using only four ingredients: Chocolate, Almonds, Sugar and Butter.
It takes three to four days to make a batch of Almond Roca:
- Day one: Cooking and siring for 45 minutes and hardening for the rest of the day.
- Day two: Break into smaller sizes to fit into bags then dip into chocolate and roll into more almonds. Then dry the candy.
- Day three: It takes a day to allow the candy to dry. Then the candy is placed into bags and sealed.
Special Almond Roca Offer:
Kinetic Die Casting will reward our customer with a bag of Almond Roca for production part purchase orders.
- Purchase order must be approved by the end of February 2015.
- Scheduled delivery of the parts must be in six weeks or less. In some cases, we can ship parts in one or two weeks. If you ask for delivery in six weeks on your purchase order but we cannot ship in six weeks, for any reason, you will still receive the candy.
