Methods for making Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts
Methods for making Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts. Aluminum is considered one of the major materials used for speaker parts. It is less likely to rust like other metals and is light weight like plastic. It also has good thermal properties, being able to withstand heat and loud music.
Aluminum is also a recyclable. Like aluminum soda cans, aluminum speaker parts can be sent to recycling plants or junk yards to help ease the waste load of cities. And unlike others, aluminum has a high percentage of recycled use – most of it is turned back into usable aluminum. There is less than 20% that is turned into a sooth-like substance. This can still be re-used by mixing it into concrete.
Aluminum, as compared to other metals, is easier to form and mold. Unlike steel and other metals, aluminum does not need to be welded.
So, what are the Methods for making Aluminum Speaker Parts?
It is actually quite easy. You just pre-heat and melt pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy and through die casting, you inject the aluminum (using high pressures) into the created metal mold. This is through using cold chambers. You can even die cast pipes, tubes and holes into the aluminum speaker parts. Afterwards, you can just buff the aluminum part and ready it for shipping.

Choosing Aluminum Die Casting in Military Parts
Choosing Aluminum Die Casting in Military Parts. Military parts equipment is very important because the success of different military operations slightly depend on the equipment that they use. With this very reason, producing military equipment should be very careful to ensure the durability and strength of the equipment. There are no trial and errors when it comes to military parts equipment because this can mean a very big thing to the country. With this, many manufacturers of military equipment prefer to use metal with great strength and use manufacturing processes that will add to the durability of the equipment. This is the reason why aluminum die casting is very popular when it comes to production of military parts equipment.
Aluminum die casting involves melting of the metal and injecting it to the mold or die. The metal will then be set aside to cool down and afterward, the parts or the casts produced will be removed and be polished. The casts produced are near net shape that is why they are durable because they don’t have joints. As compared to other casting methods like gravity casting, die casting is more beneficial. Gravity casting may be as economical as die casting but the difference is that in gravity casting, production of large parts is not advisable. Only small equipment parts are advised to be gravity casted. Unlike in aluminum die casting, large or small equipment parts can be produced.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Military Parts vs Extrusions
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Military Parts vs Extrusions. Die casting is a process wherein molten aluminum is injected into a mold with great pressure. Afterwards, they are then set to water cool. When they are opened, they are then ejected. Aluminum military parts are created through this simple and inexpensive manufacturing process. As compared to other processes like sand casting, gravity casting, forging, extrusion, plastic injection moldings and stamping, die casting is inarguably the most efficient process for molding aluminum military parts.
Pressure die casting parts are more recyclable as opposed to forgings and extrusions. Aluminum die casting is efficient and economical when it comes to maintenance, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repair for extending its life. It is non toxic and practical, and can readily be used again and again.
Pressure die casting is produced faster compared to extrusions. It has more net shape, which means that more features, depressions and angles can be placed in one operation. You can create more complex shapes, have thinner sheets, and more accurate dimensions with high pressure die casting for aluminum military parts. Holes can be cast in place rather than machining them later, adding to a higher production cost. There will be fewer waste products in pressure die casting aluminum military parts as opposed to extrusions.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting. Pressure die casting is a manufacturing process used to create aluminum brackets, parts, chassis, audio speakers and more. These metal parts can be seen almost anywhere and everywhere, making them integral in our day to day lives. Pressure die casting initially melts the aluminum metal. The molten metal is then injected into a mold under great pressure. Afterward, it is set aside to cool for a while. When the Mold is opened, it reveals the finished die casting. Because of this fast and easy process, thousands of parts can be made every day.
Gravity casting uses the similar manner as sand casting. It uses the force of gravity rather than high pressure to fill the mold with the molten aluminum metal. Gravity casting is most fitting for mass production and full mechanized casting. One advantage over gravity casting is that they usually give a better surface finish and mechanical properties, due to its slower cooling rates compared to pressure die casting.
Compared to gravity casting, pressure die casting requires less machining. Die castings can cast holes depending on how and where you want it. Die castings give closer and more accurate dimensions, plus it can be produced at a larger scale, with less labor costs per casting.

Porosity in Die Castings
There are many forms of Die Casting Porosity, many are caused by these die casting variables:
- Metal Temperatures and Mold Temperatures.
- Material Cleanliness.
- Die Casting Mold Design.
- Die Casting Part Design.
- Die Casting Machine Pressures.
- Die Casting Machine Shot Speed.
- Die Casting Spray or Die Casting Mold Release.
- Other forms of porosity can be from “shrinkage” or wall thickness.
What is Die Casting Porosity? In order for you to know what die casting porosity is, you need to know the die casting basics. The most common form of Die Casting Porosity is a kind of factory defect in which die cast parts contain small pockets of void space and air within the metal, causing it to become porous.
Porosity in Die Casting is the air trapped by the metal inside the die casting parts. To know more, a basic knowledge of the die casting process is necessary. Die casting is a process wherein a particular amount of molten metal is put inside a shot cylinder, then it is applied (plunged) with great force with a piston so as to force the metal into a die cast mold or die cast die. During this “plunging process”, air inside the cylinder is forced along with the metal into the die casting mold. It is a very fluid turbulent process. The air forced into the mold with the metal and the metal already inside the mold is forced out of the mold through a series of gates, vents and overflows.
After this, the metal is left to cool down and harden or freeze inside the mold. The metal is then removed as a die cast part. The same process is repeated over again.
Die casting companies use metals which are non-ferrous, or do not contain Iron, as this is the highest factor for oxidation and rusting. Several examples of non-ferrous metals include zinc, aluminum, lead, magnesium, tin and copper. Kinetic Die Casting only uses aluminum and zinc.
In the worst case, porosity in die casting parts, weakens die casting parts, if the voids or pockets are very large. Porosity typically matters most in pressure tight die casting parts. When the air escapes through a die casting part, it is typically caused by porosity.
