Excellent Roof Protection: Concrete Roof Tiles

Posted on 12/01/2014 by admin

Excellent Roof Protection: Concrete Roof Tiles. What is one of the first things you notice about a house? The roof takes up about 40% of the house that you see. Tile roof adds to your house. The roof is not just for protection anymore, but for a creative aspect as well. One option of roofing is concrete roof tiles. First off, what is concrete roofing tile?

Concrete roofing tiles are made of sand, cement and water. Cement makes it long-lasting and a popular option. Concrete roofing tiles have been around since after World War II in Europe and it slowly made its way into United States of America. This particular roofing tile has proven its durability and beauty throughout its hundred year history.

Furthermore, concrete roof tiles are resilient and can withstand high temperatures, fire, hail, and strong winds. This allows consumers to save money and still have their roof tiles look like other, less durable, roofing materials like slate, wood, and clay.

Concrete roofing tiles can also last a lifetime. The new technology makes roofing tiles a reflective surface allowing homeowners to have more comfort. It is also very durable and beautiful making it extremely popular. When building your house or replacing your roofing tiles make sure to consider concrete roofing tiles.

Hot Chamber Die Casting Parts

Posted on 11/24/2014 by admin

List of Hot Chamber Die Casting Parts. Hot chamber die casting parts are used for manufacturing metals that bear detailed shapes. It is called hot because it utilizes heat to melt certain alloys such as zinc, lead, magnesium and copper. In a molten state, the alloys pass through pipes to fill a container that’s formed according to what the manufacturer wants to manufacture. Subsequently, the hot alloy is cooled and it goes back to its hard form while preserving the shaped design. This can be done with the use of mechanical equipment; therefore a lot of metal pieces may be molded using the same die cast.
Here are the chief hot chamber die casting parts:
•

  • Furnace. This is where the metal is heated.

    • •

  • Plunger. The component that pushes the metal from the furnace into the die cast.

    • •

  • Gooseneck. The chamber that feeds the metal into the die cast.

    • •

  • Die cavity. The space where the metal pours into. This holds the wanted design.

    • •

  • Fixed half. This is the part that does not move and encloses the first half of the pattern.

    • •

  • Moving half. This is the lid of the die cast comprising the second half of the design. It is moved out of the way so that the hardened metal can be retrieved.

    • Hot chamber die casting parts vary in terms of size and quality. The cost will be contingent on the material used and the difficulty of the design. You can purchase the mechanisms distinctly or in a sole bundle; expect that the whole package is costlier likened to one or two parts.

    Light Made of Zinc: Its Applications in Lighting

    Posted on 11/17/2014 by admin

    Light Made of Zinc: Its Applications in Lighting. Lighting is something that is valued and used by millions worldwide. At one time the source of light was a modest camp fire built out of rubbing two sticks together, contemporary technology has progressed to make it easier for humans to enjoy light.

    The creation of the electric bulb must have shocked the world. The use of gas lights made homes and streets liable to unintentional fires. It was once unsafe to strike a match inside a person’s home. But with the advent of new technology, turning on a light has never been easier.

    Of course this technology would not be conceivable without the parts that make up a light. Whether it is an uncomplicated desk lamp or a red head used in film and TV productions, all lamps and lights are fitted with metal parts that form its whole. Since light energy manufactures heat, these materials must be able to endure dangerous temperatures in order to be useful. This is where the process of using zinc as a raw material comes in.

    With the use of zinc die casting, zinc lighting parts can be assembled as materials with high temperature conductivity. Electrical components, particularly those which need high energy generation, need high conductivity rates. Lamps, particularly those used in film and TV production, could be used for hours on end, therefore underlining a high need for good thermal conductors. This can be attained, with high success, through

    Light should not, at all costs, grow dim because of mediocre quality.

    Differences Between Aluminum Die Casting and Zinc Die Casting

    Posted on 11/10/2014 by admin

    Differences Between Aluminum Die Casting and Zinc Die Casting. Aluminum and Zinc are two of the most commonly used alloys for die casting. Which is a better material between the two? There are different perspectives on which this question may be looked upon.

    Zinc is the easiest metal to cast. Of all the most commonly used alloys for die casting, it has the lowest minimum section thickness at 0.63 mm. Aluminum, on the other hand, has a minimum section thickness of 0.89 mm.
    Zinc die casting is therefore the more production friendly material.

    Aluminum is lighter than zinc. The minimum draft of aluminum required for die casting is 1:100 while zinc has it at 1:200. Zinc’s density is at 6.6 gms/cubic cm while aluminum’s is 2.74 gms/cubic cm. Because of it, aluminum die casting can produce more castings per ton of metal than zinc die casting, in spite of the latter being the easier to cast.

    Zinc alloy is tougher than aluminum and any other types, especially in terms of impact strength. Due to zinc die casting being more pressure tight than aluminum die casting, zinc is better in terms of waterproofing capability. Products made from aluminum-based alloys are most likely to leak when subjected to waterproofing tests and actual conditions.

    Zinc melts easier than aluminum. Aluminum melts at 1,221 degrees Fahrenheit while zinc melts at 787.2 degrees Fahrenheit. In terms of heat resistance, aluminum will appear to be better than zinc. However, in terms of cost-effectiveness, this data only means that because zinc melts easily than aluminum, it can be cast easier using a less costly method called “Hot Chamber”. Aluminum die casting, on the other hand, uses a more costly and slower method of casting called “Cold Chamber”.

    Overall, both materials have their respective advantages and disadvantages. This is the beauty of having more than one option for die casting. The ultimate beneficiary of this diversity is not necessarily the industries involved in this process, but the consumers.

    Posted on 11/03/2014 by admin

    Concrete Roof Tiles: Style Them Up. In the market there are several different types of concrete roofing tile styles available. Different roofing tiles are made to give consumers more artistic options. Many of the styles copy clay, slate and even wood in its designs. You can even get custom designed roofing tiles to meet your needs.

    There are four different types of concrete roofing tile styles:

  • Spanish style roof tiles
  • Curved roof tiles
  • Flat inter-locking roof tiles
  • Flat-shingle style roof tiles

    • The least complex of the four designs is the curved roof tiles. The design is composed of concave and convex columns. The most traditional of the designs is the Spanish-style roof tiles. This style looks like a “S” profile. The flat roof tiles are in a broken bond pattern. This particular design is good for extreme weather conditions such as snow storms. The last design is flat shingle style. This design is distinguished by the overlapping tiles and is laid from the bottom to the top.

    Every roofing tile style is unique. Every style is unique to a certain area of the world. The weather is a huge factor when deciding what style to use on your roof.
