How Die Casting Part Prices are Established
Die Casting Part Pricing – How Die Casting Part Prices are Established.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has a specific pricing model that is similar and also different from our competitors. Here are a few issues to think about when asking for a die casting part price.
- Die Casting Part Size
- Die Casting Part Weight
- Die Casting Material Type
- Inspection Requirements
- Die Casting Part Quantity
- Die Casting Part Tolerances
- Die Casting Part Specifications
- Die Casting Tooling Types
- Additional Labor Needs
- Die Casting Part Secondary Finishing
- Other Fees
The die casting part size and weight effect the part price in a few ways, cycle times or parts per hour, the machine tonnage size required to produce the parts and the part material cost, which also relates to the die casting material type.
The inspection requirements can vary depending on if a (1) visual inspection, or a (2) dimensional inspection or a (3) penetration inspection or an (4) X-Ray inspection or a (5) pressure test inspection are required.
The part quantity has an effect because it will determine if some of the many “one time” or “minimum charge” fees are covered in the production lot.
Die casting part specifications and tolerances add additional labor to a simple casting through inspection and documentation.
The die casting tool can effect the part price by how many cavities are in the tool, how many slides are in the tool, whether additional labor can be removed by the tool, and also if a trim die is available. The mold type also has an effect in the set up time for tooling.
Many times additional labor are needed to complete the die casting part, like threading holes, which also adds to the part cost. Can we use high speed production machining or do we need to use CNC machines.
If there is a polish, ball burnish, bead blast, paint or anodize requirement, that will add to the part cost.
Other fees, some die casting companies charge a “Set Up Fees” or an “Environmental Fees” or an “Energy Surcharge Fees” or a packaging or pallet fee, we do not have any of these hidden fees.
Obviously, this newsletter (already too long) cannot give enough details to satisfy everyone but call us at:

and a die casting part price discussion can be scheduled.

Die Casting Part Sizes and Quantities in our Business Niche
Die Casting Part Sizes and Quantities in our Business Niche. Kinetic Die Casting Company satisfies our customers because we will only produce parts in our niche.
Die Casting Part Sizes – Largest:
Kinetic Die Casting Company limits our part size limited to about 185 square inches to match our 600 ton die casting machines. 17″ by 11″ is the largest size die casting part we will produce. We have manufactured parts larger than 185 sq.” with our die casting machines but the product quality was “less than acceptable” by our standards. In fact, we produced 100,000 parts that were 17.5″ x 14.5″ or 253 sq.” for a customer that needed an inexpensive part that was structural not aesthetic.
Die Casting Part Sizes – Smallest:
It is easier for our die casting machines and equipment to produce parts that are smaller rather than larger because the die casting pressures would not be as great. There is no functional “to small part” for our business. We do like parts that are larger than 1/4″.
Die Casting Part Quantities – Largest:
We prefer part shipments of less than 300,000 parts a year or not more than 10,000 parts a week. Our die casting niche is focused on lower quantity deliveries, not larger quantity deliveries. We do have a few customers that purchase more than 100,000 parts a year from KDC, but that is not our focus.
Die Casting Part Quantities – Smallest:
Kinetic Die Casting has no minimum part order quantity. We focus on smaller lot sizes more than most other die casting companies. We have many customers that will purchase fewer than 500 parts a delivery. We have a few customers that purchase fewer than 100 die casting parts each time they order.

Die Casting Parts Machining Requirements and Advantages.
Machining Die Casting Parts, Die Casting Parts Machining Requirements and Advantages.
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces many types of die casting parts that are machined as a secondary process, but we also produce many parts that do not need to be machined because we die cast the features into the parts. Here are a few examples of parts that are typically produced as a die casting parts because it saves money to make them as die castings.
HEAT SINKS –
Heat sinks in the past were always extruded in aluminum because aluminum is one of the best materials for heat conductance (more info) but the extrusions creates a lot of waste material and the additional cost to chop the heat sinks to length and machine mounting holes.
These reasons make die casting aluminum a far superior manufacturing process. Aluminum Die Castings are produced to the size and shape necessary with no wasted material. Die casting heat sink parts do not require additional machining to “chop” to size. Mounting holes are produced during the manufacturing process at no additional cost.
SAND CASTINGS
Sand castings cannot maintain the tolerance that die castings typically hold. Sand castings need a greater amount of variance from feature to feature. Many times a sand casting part will require machining in an interior section of a part between features because the tolerance is greater than .002″ (about half the thickness of paper)

The Many Uses Of Aluminum Parts Types
The Many Uses Of Aluminum Die Cast Parts Types. Aluminum is a type of metal that is silvery and lightweight, and it makes up a huge number of domestic items, such as pots and pans, aluminum foil, as well as cans utilized to hold drinks. This is the cause why aluminum parts types are extensively utilized for a range of items in die casting. Aluminum is non-toxic, does not corrode very easily, it is non-magnetic, and more significantly, it is with no trouble created and molded into several various shapes.
Aluminum ranks third, just behind oxygen and silicon, as the earth’s most plentiful element. In fact, it creates 8.1 percent of the earth’s crust in weight alone. Since aluminum is thought as tremendously active metal, it is seldom found in metal form at all. It is typically derived from earth materials, such as kaolin, a white clay rich in aluminum, a major part in the manufacturing of porcelain. It is also found in alum salts, which are utilized as a chemical to help dyes stick to cloth.
Aluminum heated in very high temperatures in a vacuum can disappear and stick determinedly on cool surfaces of glass to form a mirror. Aluminum hardware, contrasting to silver, never tarnishes when open to the elements. There are several other uses for aluminum, chiefly in the die casting business. Aluminum parts varieties are perfect for the manufacturing of pots and pans utilized in cooking. This is because aluminum pots and pans produce more heat than other metal.
Regardless of the presence of other metals utilized in die casting, such as zinc, magnesium, or copper, aluminum parts types remain the most widely-used metal to make a great number of helpful tools, equipment, and machinery of airplanes and cars.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures products like aluminum hardware, and aluminum boxes. If you would like more information on Kinetic Die Casting, please visit our website:Kinetic Die Casting Company
