Kinetic Die Casting 101: What is a Die Casting Draft Angle?
Die Casting 101: What is a die casting draft angle? Die casting isn’t really new. Engineers and manufacturers know the method of die casting metal products. It refers to the manufacturing of metallic parts and products in the process of injecting molten metal alloy inside a steel die. With high pressure and velocity, the molten metal is suppressed and solidifies into stronger metal parts used in many ways depending on what the product is created for (e.g. car parts, compartments, lighting fixtures, and so on). One might be wondering, “how can the molten metal, as it solidifies and stabilizes, not get stuck inside the die?” The answer is because of the draft angle.
What is a die casting draft angle? Draft angles are the narrow slopes merged in the surface of the area inside the die cast, usually identified on both the opening direction of the die and its sliding cores. What is a die casting draft angle for? To answer the question stated earlier, a draft angle is a factor of the process of die casting that enables the die cast product to be ejected in an easier way. Depending on what the product is, the proper measure of drafts should conform to the die cast product in order to support, both the surface of the die cast and the surface of the product inside.
Draft Angle on an Aluminum Box Enclosure
Picture an Aluminum Box Enclosure sitting on a table with the open side up. The aluminum box is 2 inches deep inside with the height and width 4 inches each way on outside. The walls of the box are 0.10 inches thick. Due to the wall thickness. A few things are evident to a part designer concerning this simple box:
The overall height of the box is 2.10 inches tall.
The interior of the box at the top of the opening is 3.80 inches x 3.80 inches.
A 2 degree draft angle will change the dimensions in the following on the interior and exterior and should be considered if something needs to fit inside the box or outside the box:
The top inside dimension of the box will be 3.80 inches and the bottom inside will be 3.664 inches
The top outside dimension of the box will be 4.00 inches and the bottom outside will be 3.864 inches
If the box was designed for the interior of 4 inches x 4 inches at the bottom: box:
The top inside box dimension needs to be 4.136 inches
The outside top box dimension will be 4.336 inches.
What is a die casting draft angle’s operation during die casting? Draft angles are simply incorporated inside of the die, making its opening wider than its base so that it can easily be ejected.

Aluminum boxes are needed by many industries including the military. Enclosure castings and Housing castings are aluminum box castings or aluminum die casting parts. These enclosures are typically designed to hold electronic components into place using a printed circuit board or PC Board. Military Parts Enclosure Castings usually need to be anodized to protect the exterior from damage. Sometimes the Military Parts Enclosure Castings are powder coated or painted for aesthetic reasons. occasionally these Military Parts Enclosure Castings need to be impregnated with a sealing material specified by the U.S. Government blueprints and then also penetrant inspected or Zyglo inspected to ensure the Military Parts Enclosure Castings do not have porosity and are not cracked. Military Parts Enclosure Castings need to be machined to mount “D” connectors and to add threads for screws to mount a cover for the box.

What’s in the Box? Aluminum: Kinetic Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum Boxes
A typical person might be harboring questions such as “What are aluminum boxes?”, “What are they made for?”, and “Why aluminum?” By the term “boxes”, it refers to those enclosures or housings used in engine compartments, computer disk drives, compartments in automobiles, and so on. The purpose of these enclosures is to contain engines and other machines in a single compartment, making things portable, more organized inside and easier to manage. That is what Kinetic Die Casting Company anticipated.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum boxes that are effective enough to make things easier concerning mechanical compartments. And because the products made are from aluminum alloy, these boxes are electrically conductive, durable and 1/3 lighter compared to normal steel fabricated enclosures. The production of these aluminum boxes require less labor and manufactured by die casting molten aluminum alloy. High pressure makes the manufactured aluminum boxes stronger and resilient as the molten metal stabilizes. This company is widely well-known for their aluminum die casting processes, and Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum boxes frequently used as chassis, car parts, computer hardware, and also normal compartments in the house.
Anyone can be reassured of the safety of their items or engines as they utilize this company’s aluminum boxes. Due to its metallic properties, the items inside the aluminum box are less prone to scratches and breaks.

Aluminum Housing for Portable Devices
Aluminum Housing for Portable Devices. Portable devices, unlike their bigger counterparts, trade strength for portability. This trade-off is necessary to make the devices portable. Thinner and less dense materials are used to reduce the overall weight of the device. This can be seen in many delicate portable devices which break easily when handled incorrectly. However, there is a method that can be used to protect these devices while still maintaining their portability. This is done through the use of aluminum housings.
An aluminum housing is an enclosure that is designed to protect a device from physical trauma. The housing does this in both its interior and exterior. For exterior protection, the aluminum housing uses its shell as a shock absorber to lessen the impact felt by the device. For interior protection, the device is held in place by screws to prevent the device from moving around while inside the housing. In terms of aesthetics, the aluminum housing has a very plain, straightforward look which may be accented with ridges depending on the manufacturer. They come in a multitude of rich colors which add elegance to the aluminum housing.
Aluminum housings can be purchased in several stores including those that sells devices themselves. These stores however only sell housings that fit the devices they sell. The housings being sold all have predetermined specifications so that they can fit devices from multiple manufacturers. If an individual finds that his device is not compatible with any housing, he may contact aluminium manufacturing plants to have them create a custom housing for his device.

Classification of Porosity in Die Casting Parts
Classification of Porosity in Die Castings. Porosity in casting aluminum alloys directly affects the reliability and quality of products which incorporating die cast metals into their design. Die Casting Manufacturing companies rely on advanced technologies and methodologies to minimize porosity so as to avoid additional overhead.
The types of porosity in die castings vary in terms of their characteristics. The three basic classifications however are continuous, blind and totally enclosed, which are manifested in four general types namely micro, micro/macro, funnel and macro.
Continuous Porosity
The first instance of continuous porosity in metal castings is the presence of leak path from a particular enclosed section towards another. The Micro Manifestation shows a slow single-point leak.
The second instance of continuous porosity is the presence of collective defects which are interconnected in many areas. The Micro/Macro Manifestation of such characteristic is multiple leak points at a slow rate.
The third instance of continuous porosity is the presence of externally visible defects with micro-sectional defects. The Funnel Manifestation is a slow single-point leak.
The fourth instance of continuous porosity is the gross visible defects in the surface of metal castings, shows extreme leaking in the Macro level.
Blind Porosity
The first circumstance is the absence of visible defects on the surface of die cast metals while micro manifestation displays a weeping of contaminants towards the surface. A wet or darkened region is also visible. On the other hand, the said casting holds pressure.
The second circumstance is the absence of visible imperfections on the surface. There are however darkened parts of the casting surface. The Micro/Macro Manifestations include gushing of machining fluid towards the surface. The castings on this instance still hold pressure.
The third circumstance is the visible die cast porosity and pitting on the surface. The Funnel Manifestation includes discoloration of the surface and weeping of machining liquids.
The fourth circumstance of blind porosity is the display of visible porosity holes on the surface of the metals and the roughness of the said surface. The Macro Manifestation includes surface discoloration and the presence of contaminants.
Totally Enclosed Porosity
Defects and impurities are not visible on the surface which is often caused by material shrinkage or gas accumulation. Shrink porosity is characterized by irregular shape and rough surface. Gas porosity is displays a smooth and regular shaped castings.
