Problems for Container Shipping
Port of Long Beach CEO anticipates further pain for container shipping lines as global container shipping lines face one or two more years of pain as the industry consolidates amid overcapacity and weaker demand, according to the Port of Long Beach’s chief executive officer.
Slowing demand in China and Europe combined with a glut of container ships has pushed down freight prices. Long Beach is being hurt by the fallout as cargo volumes slumped 22 percent in April after CMA CGM SA shifted some business to neighboring Los Angeles, the busiest U.S. port, following its acquisition of Singapore’s Neptune Orient Lines Ltd. Volumes at the port, which derives more than 90 percent of its business from trade with Asia, should normalize in the third quarter. As interest rates and fuel prices rise, mergers and alliances designed to cut costs by sharing ships should proliferate. The port hopes to serve as a “facilitator of change” to bring together clients in alliances and mergers that will allow them to share not only ships but also information about container freight demand and availability.

Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware
Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware. Hardware brackets are produced and used in many industries today, which is why it is a very important component that should be made and processed properly and correctly. Aluminum brackets are made as parts for lighting fixtures, automobiles, and even in construction because its main purpose is to keep all the parts stable, steady, and as much as possible, long lasting. Before, manufacturers would use steel to make these hardware brackets and would have to weld the pieces together. But these welded pieces become weak overtime, which makes it expensive, time-consuming, and you’d have to exert a lot of effort just to maintain it.
Therefore, this is why many manufacturers now see the advantages they get when they use aluminum die castings to make their hardware brackets. Die casting involves a process of forcing molten metal under high pressure to be able to produce complex yet more tolerable molds to create parts and housings for different things such as military weapons and die casting lighting fixtures. When making hardware brackets, manufacturers would create them using the process of aluminum die casting, afterwards shaping it easily into parts that they know would make it sturdier, more long-lasting, and of course cost-efficient as compared to steel.

What is Sand Casting
What is Sand Casting? Sand casting is a 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. Lighting companies use sand casting to make aluminum lighting parts if the project only needs a few hundred parts.

Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Steel Advantages
Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Steel Advantages. High pressure die casting is the process used to make aluminum die cast parts and chassis castings. This process is now becoming more and more popular in several major manufacturing industries because of its many advantages.
Furthermore, Aluminum is a great metal to work with. Unlike other metals, it has plenty of strengths. The metal can be found almost everywhere in the planet. Supply will not run out, so it is easy to acquire and not heavy on your pockets.
Advantages of aluminum chassis castings over steel include:
- Aluminum can be stronger than steel
- three times greater axial load strength
- Faster production rate. In fact, production quantities can be done within a few days instead of several weeks!
- Fewer failures and returns to the OEM
- Weight is lighter by two and a half times for lesser shipping costs
- Less finishing costs
- Raw parts manufacturing costs are much less
- Better looking parts
Also, you can produce aluminum die casts according to your preference and specifications, such as the trim, clean, machine, inspect, powder coat and the package of your aluminum cast parts.
The use of aluminum castings over still helps you reduce weight, boost strength, and save you more money.
