Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Speaker Parts vs Extrusions
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Extrusions. Audio Speakers and other sound-related components don’t live without going through maintenance and parts replacement. Eventually, after months or years of use, parts need to be replaced with newer ones to continue its lifespan. Many of today’s consumers would turn to die casting to be able to get parts instead of buying a new component every time a part of the system starts malfunctioning, and one of the processes used to create speaker parts is extrusions. Extrusion, if you look it up over the net, is basically a process used to create objects (in this case, parts) of a fixed cross-sectional body. The top advantages of using extrusions are being able to create complex cross-sections and being able to work with materials that are normally brittle and that can easily break.
But because of the limitations involved in extrusions when it comes to shaping and the time spent to produce the parts, manufacturers are now turning to pressure die casting using aluminum as the main alloy. As compared to extrusions, die casting with aluminum makes production faster, allows more net shape, and all the features of the part, from top to bottom, side to side, can be done in one operation alone.

Why Should You Use Aluminum Aircraft Parts?
Why Should You Use Aluminum Aircraft Parts? We should use aluminum in aircraft parts because it is light in weight and low in density. The aluminum is actually alloyed with other kinds of metals to make it much tougher and stronger. This is often called durable aluminum.
Aluminum alloys that are used in the aerospace production are very strong and have the ability to act upon well in difficult and harsh settings. The 7075 Aluminum is the best choice for alloy when it comes to mechanized aircraft parts, and 5052 aluminum, which is not really as strong but is easier to weld, is also often used. The Aluminum 7075 is perfect for extremely stressed parts and is said to be the strongest kind of aluminum. It has excellent resistance to high temperature and corrosion, which are both important features in aircraft aluminum.
The 7075 and 5052 aluminum could be altered into billets, plates, sheets, rods, tubes, bars, and coils, which are useful in the construction of aircraft. Other substitutes to aluminum are wood, which is actually lighter in weight but weaker than aluminum. Aircraft metal should be very strong but also light in weight, and aluminum displays these necessities, which makes it the perfect selection for airplane parts manufacturing.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting. Pressure die casting is a manufacturing process used to create aluminum brackets, parts, chassis 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. Afterwards, 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.

Customer Multiplied Total Sales 5x
About ten years ago, two men named “Brian” and “Ron” working for a machining company in Orange County, California contacted Kinetic Die Casting Company to quote a “Project” for a simple die casting tool to produce from 5,000 to 23,000 sets of parts.
Each set would make up a “Night Vision Goggle Device”.These sets consisted of seven (7) separate parts; the machining company would machine and assemble.
Brian needed these parts delivered very fast. The cost of the tooling needed to be inexpensive in order to be competitive.
We decided to make a “unit die tool” because of the low quantity potential and chose a good toolmaker in the Los Angeles area to make the tool. We opted to trim the parts with a simple “push through trim die” and to hand finish the parts. In order to make the tooling, we used 3D files from their Mastercam to produce IGES files. We added the shrinkage and draft necessary in order for the die casting tool to function properly.
The project went very well. In fact, Brian won additional contracts to produce more Night Vision Goggles. For a few years we were producing up to 5,000 sets or 35,000 parts every week. For three years straight this company was our top customer company and for five years a very good customer indeed.
At the project conclusion Kinetic Die Casting Company had produced over 400,000 sets of parts or 2,800,000 parts from that simple die casting tool for our good customer. This was a huge success for our customer because they grew in sales over 5x in those five years.
