Sand Castings in 2017
What is Sand Casting? Sand casting is a metal part manufacturing process that uses sand as the form or mold that shapes the metal castings. In sand casting, the sand is moistened and the pattern is pressed into the sand. The preparation and bonding process of the sand is the most critical step in the process. This technique is usually used for low volume production.
The sand casting pattern is made of wood or metal, such as aluminum. The patterns are generally not destroyed but are made permanent to be reused up to a few thousand times. Sand casting is used when lower quantities are needed and lower quality is acceptable. Manufacturing companies use sand casting to make aluminum parts if the project only needs a few hundred parts.

Short Run Die Casting Parts Production
High pressure die casting is a process we use to make die cast parts. We inject molten aluminum alloy or zinc alloy metals under pressure into a steel die to produce aluminum parts. Die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process. We have made millions of these die casting parts for our customers that are manufacturing companies since 1994.
We typically ship thousands of parts to each customer a week. Kinetic Die Casting Company is one of a few die casting companies that are willing to produce “Short Run Die Castings“. We accept small quantity purchase orders, meaning that we will produce less than one thousand (1,000) parts in a production run. Some of our customers place a blanket order for 1,000 parts with deliveries of 100 every month. Some of our customers will send us a purchase order for 100 or 200 parts. We are happy to help all of our customers with their needs.

Aluminum (aka Aluminium) Fun Facts
Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant mineral on Earth after oxygen and silicon and is the most abundant metal found naturally on Earth. It is present in 270 minerals. Aluminum is a silver, soft metal with an atomic number of thirteen and thirteen protons in the nucleus. It constitutes about eight percent of the Earth’s land mass.
Aluminum (aka Aluminium) fun facts:
- Caution – Iodine and Aluminum powder plus a few drops of water create: Clouds of toxic purple iodine vapor and a flame.
- Recycling aluminum takes only 5 percent of the energy needed to extract new aluminum from ore.
- Aluminum is globally the most used metal that does not contain iron.
- Aluminum is almost always used as an alloy, even if the aluminum content is as high as 99%.
- The most commonly used elements to combine with aluminum to create an alloy are zinc, copper, silicon, magnesium, and manganese.
- This element is the second-most abundant metallic element in Earth’s crust after silicon.
- Aluminum is lightweight (a third the weight of steel or copper).
- That Coke can: According to the Aluminum Association, an aluminum can takes 60 days to return as a new can after recycling.
- Aluminum and its alloys are significantly used in the aerospace industry auto manufacturing and transportation, construction, packaging etc.
- Aluminum is also used as a compound to manufacturing paints, antacids, deodorants and are also used as a catalyst in explosives (such as ammonium nitrate) to boost explosive capabilities.
- Aluminum is a very reflective metal, which is very useful in home decor items such as aluminum blinds, aluminum fence, aluminum doors, aluminum windows etc.
- Keep vinegar and bleach away from your aluminum products.
- Aluminum parts when damp creates a white oxide that protects the aluminum surface but keeps paint from sticking.
- Aluminum is incredibly flexible enough that it can be easily formed into the tiniest of items such as paper clips, dial gauges etc.
I hope you enjoyed these fun facts about aluminum. More than 90% of our die casting production is in aluminum alloy parts.
