Plastic Parts Injected Molded
Plastic Parts Injected Molded | Plastic Comparison
Similarities Of Plastic Injection Molded Parts and Aluminum Die Casting Parts. Plastic injection molding and aluminum die casting are similar in a lot of ways:
- Both require a die, a mold or tooling to produce parts.
- The dies or tooling costs are very similar in both industries.
- Both processes inject material with pressure into a mold or die to make parts.
- Both processes can make a few parts, hundreds of parts or thousands of parts every day.
Plastic Injection Molded Parts
- Plastic parts are produced at a lower temperature than aluminum parts, plastic melts at only a few hundred degrees Fahrenheit
- Plastic Parts weigh less than aluminum die casting parts.
- Plastic is not typically biodegradable
- Plastic parts require metal inserts to hold a thread for screws.
- Plastic does not block EMI/RF waves
- Plastic Parts are not as strong.
Aluminum Die Casting Parts
- Aluminum die casting parts are stronger than plastic but aluminum parts weigh more than plastic injection molded parts.
- Aluminum parts are produced in only one color and need paint or powder coat for color. Aluminum can be polished or anodized.
- Aluminum naturally shields EMI/RF waves to protect electronic circuits.
- Holes can be die casted in the parts and directly threaded into the aluminum parts.
- Features can be machined into aluminum and the part remains strong.
- Aluminum has great thermal transference properties and is used for heat sinks.
- Aluminum is a natural conductor of electricity and can be e-coated or used as an electrical ground for electronics.
- Aluminum material is environmentally friendly and can be recycled easily when done. Die casting materials are all recycled materials that were alloyed into a die casting aluminum alloy. All aluminum alloys (360, 380, 383, and 413) are made from recycled materials.

Metal vs. Plastic: Die Castings Used for Audio Speakers
Metal vs. Plastic: Die Castings Used for Audio Speakers. Examine your sub-woofer speaker closely. Can you tell if it is made from aluminum or plastic? Aluminum die castings used for audio speakers are a popular application of die-casting as a machining procedure. These types of speakers are very similar with plastic-built ones, and they have several advantages too.
Many speaker brands use plastic as frames and fixtures of their speakers. They are shaped through soft molding, where molten plastic takes the shape of the mold. Plastic is desired because it is cheaper and easy to manufacture compared with metals. The market patronizes plastic-built speakers because they are light and easy to carry around.
However, there is a recent problem with plastics in terms of toxicity and recyclability. Hence, die castings used for audio speakers have become more popular. Aluminum is widely used for speaker frames and internal fixtures. Plastics need several treatments for them to be tough. They need plasticizers and conditioners. Aluminum, on the other hand, is already tough and durable by itself. Especially because it undergoes cold-chamber die casting, aluminum speaker parts exhibit low brittleness and good elasticity. It fights on par even with the best treated plastics. Aluminum is also very light.
Aluminum die castings used for audio speakers are made from high pressure molding. The molten aluminum is injected to a pair of dies. Then, pressures of 10 to 175 mega Pascal are applied until the shaped metal solidifies. The resulting product is stiff and non-toxic, and it is easily recyclable. Just disassemble it and it can be processed again.
