Process 500 Die Castings a Day

Thank you for being our customer. Kinetic Die Casting Company makes parts for our manufacturing customers using the die casting process. What that means is, we inject molten metal into a steel die mold to make metal parts. When the die casting mold is in the die casting machine, the die casting process to make metal parts is very fast.

Die Casting Process
Die Casting Process

It goes like this:

  • 1. The mold is opened by the die casting machine.
  • 2. Our experienced die casting machine operator sprays the mold with a release agent so the metal part does not stick to the mold.
  • 3. Our operator closes the machine and the machine uses several tons of pressure to hold the mold closed
  • 4. The molten metal is injected into the mold at extreme pressure and speed.
  • 5. After a few seconds the molten metal “freezes” into shape.
  • 6. The machine opens within typically less than a minute.
  • 7. The die casting machine opens and the part is extracted using ejector pins to push out the part.
  • 8. The die casting process starts again, usually within a minute of the last part made.
  • In this way, we make 60 parts for our customer every hour and about 500-600 parts in a 10 hour work shift.

    Zinc Die Cast Boxes

    Zinc die cast boxes are widely recognized for their exceptional strength, durability, and versatility across various industries. As precision-engineered components, these boxes offer a superior level of performance and reliability that make them a popular choice for a wide range of applications.

    One of the key characteristics that set zinc die cast boxes apart is their corrosion resistance properties. Zinc is inherently resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications or environments with high levels of moisture or humidity. This corrosion resistance ensures that the boxes remain structurally sound and free from rust or degradation over extended periods of time, greatly enhancing their longevity and performance.

    In addition to corrosion resistance, zinc die cast boxes are also known for their high thermal conductivity. This property allows the boxes to efficiently dissipate heat, making them well-suited for electronic and electrical applications where temperature management is crucial. The ability of zinc die cast boxes to effectively regulate heat helps to prevent overheating and ensures the optimal functioning of sensitive components housed within them.

    Furthermore, zinc die cast boxes are valued for their exceptional dimensional stability and precision. The die casting process allows for the creation of intricate and complex geometries with tight tolerances, ensuring a high level of accuracy and consistency in the final product. This precision enables zinc die cast boxes to seamlessly integrate with other components or equipment, facilitating smooth assembly and operation in various systems.

    The mechanical properties of zinc die cast boxes further contribute to their superior performance characteristics. With high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent impact resistance, these boxes provide robust protection for their contents while minimizing added weight or bulk. This combination of strength and lightness makes zinc die cast boxes an ideal solution for applications where weight reduction and durability are key considerations.

    Moreover, zinc die cast boxes offer design flexibility that allows for customization to meet specific requirements. The versatility of zinc die casting processes enables the production of boxes in various shapes, sizes, and configurations to suit different applications and space constraints. This adaptability makes zinc die cast boxes a preferred choice for a wide range of industries, from automotive and aerospace to telecommunications and industrial equipment.

    Zinc die cast boxes represent a premium solution for critical applications where durability, performance, and reliability are paramount. Their superior corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, mechanical properties, and design flexibility make them a versatile choice for a diverse array of industries. By leveraging the unique advantages of zinc die cast boxes, manufacturers and designers can create high-quality products that deliver exceptional value and performance to their customers.

    Die Casting Molds 101: Understanding How the System Works

    Die casting molds play a pivotal role in the manufacturing industry, especially for producing complex and high-quality metal parts with precision and efficiency. Understanding how the die casting mold system works is essential for manufacturers and engineers striving to ensure product quality and streamline production processes.

    Die casting is a metal casting process that involves injecting molten metal into a mold cavity, which has been carved out using CNC machines or through other methods. The mold cavity, also known as the die, is created with two hardened steel molds, usually mounted on two sides of a die-casting machine. These molds are designed to give shape and form to the molten metal, allowing it to cool and solidify into the desired product.

    The die casting process begins with the preparation of the mold cavity. The two halves of the die are clamped together, forming a complete cavity for the molten metal to be injected. The cavity is then treated with a lubricant to prevent sticking and aid in the ejection of the final product.

    Next, the molten metal, typically aluminum, zinc, or magnesium, is melted in a furnace and then injected into the mold cavity under high pressure. The high pressure is necessary to ensure that the molten metal fills the cavity completely and solidifies quickly.

    Once the molten metal is injected into the mold, it is left to cool and solidify. The cooling process is crucial in determining the final quality of the product. Cooling too quickly can result in internal stresses and defects, while cooling too slowly can lead to an uneven surface finish.

    After the metal has solidified, the two halves of the die are separated, and the newly formed product is ejected from the mold cavity. The excess material, known as flash, is trimmed off, and the product is inspected for any defects or imperfections.

    Die casting molds offer numerous advantages for manufacturers, including high dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finish, and the ability to produce complex shapes with tight tolerances. Moreover, die casting molds are highly durable and can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making them ideal for high-volume production.

    To ensure the efficient operation of die casting molds, several factors must be considered. These include the design of the mold cavity, the selection of the appropriate material for the die, the maintenance of the mold, and the control of the die casting process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and cooling rate.

    In conclusion, die casting molds are a critical component of the manufacturing process, offering a cost-effective and efficient method for producing high-quality metal parts. By understanding how the die casting mold system works and implementing best practices in mold design and maintenance, manufacturers can enhance their production capabilities and deliver superior products to the market.
