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.

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.

Maximum Protection
Maximum Protection. Steel is the preferred material to be used as protection for any item. It is relatively cheap but is very sturdy compared to other materials. The only problem encountered with using steel is the weight of the material. Steel, especially compounded ones, is very heavy compared to other materials. This makes it difficult to carry around even if the item contained inside is small. For this reason, it is best to use an aluminum box instead of a steel box with a die cast tool.
Aluminum boxes are containers that are as durable as steel boxes but possess only half their weight. These boxes are used to store items of any kind and value although they are more commonly used to store electronic items. The reason for this is that aluminum boxes prevent the electronic items from malfunctioning due to external magnetic energy. They come in different sizes to cater to the different types of electronic devices. They also come in different colors to give way to the preference of individuals. They can be purchased in DIY stores, hardware stores, and online stores.
Aluminum boxes usually come as DIY kits so that owners are able to customize the enclosure to fit their devices. This is not often the case however since device manufacturers make their own enclosures to fit their devices. In cases where an aluminium box does not fit a device perfectly, contacting manufacturing plants is the most advisable option. Manufacturing plants tend to have schematics of popular devices which means that they can create an aluminium box that will fit the device perfectly.

An Enclosure for Electronics
An Enclosure for Electronics. Electronic items need a special type of enclosure because, unlike common items, they are prone to damages other than those caused by physical contact. They can be rendered unusable if placed near or subjected to a source of magnetic energy. This is because electronic items use electrical energy to create magnetic energy in order to function. An external source of magnetic energy would “confuse” their system, so to speak, and would prevent them from functioning normally. This is why electronic items are stored inside aluminum boxes.
Aluminum boxes are containers that prevent external sources of magnetic energy from reaching an electronic item. These boxes use the fundamental principle of physics that magnetic energy travels only on the exterior of an enclosed object. Usually, aluminum boxes can be seen in hardware stores or DIY stores. However, the problem with these boxes is that they come in pre-determined sizes. Electronic items need to be secured in place as they are being carried around to reduce the chances that they will acquire damage. It is therefore advised to contact a manufacturing plant in order to find an aluminum box that has the exact specifications for the electronic item.
Manufacturing company create these boxes only if they manufacture aluminum based products. Customers need to contact the manufacturing plant and then give the specifications that they desire. The plant will then give a quote for the total cost of the order. Depending on the manufacturing plant, orders may either be accepted individually or in bulk.
