New Aluminum Handle Hardware. Home is the best place to be. Can you imagine living inside a house with broken doors or cabinet handles? Of course not! You should make sure your handles are strong and tight to prevent your children from getting wounds and bumps or more importantly avoid thieves to get inside your house easily.

Die Casting Part Pricing-How Die Casting Part Prices are Established in 2022
Die Casting Part Pricing – How to Die Casting Part Prices are Established.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has a specific pricing model that is similar and also different from our competitors. Here are a few issues to think about when asking for a die-casting part price.
- Die Casting Part Size
- Die Casting Part Weight
- Die Casting Material Type
- Inspection Requirements
- Die Casting Part Quantity
- Die Casting Part Tolerances
- Die Casting Part Specifications
- Die Casting Tooling Types
- Additional Labor Needs
- Die Casting Part Secondary Finishing
- Other Fees
The die casting part size and weight effect the part price in a few ways, cycle times or parts per hour, the machine tonnage size required to produce the parts and the part material cost, which also relates to the die casting material type.
The inspection requirements can vary depending on if a (1) visual inspection, or a (2) dimensional inspection or a (3) penetration inspection or an (4) X-Ray inspection or a (5) pressure test inspection are required.
The part quantity has an effect because it will determine if some of the many “one time” or “minimum charge” fees are covered in the production lot.
Die casting part specifications and tolerances add additional labor to a simple casting through inspection and documentation.
The die casting tool can effect the part price by how many cavities are in the tool, how many slides are in the tool, whether additional labor can be removed by the tool, and also if a trim die is available. The mold type also has an effect in the set up time for tooling.
Many times additional labor are needed to complete the die casting part, like threading holes, which also adds to the part cost. Can we use high speed production machining or do we need to use CNC machines.
If there is a polish, ball burnish, bead blast, paint or anodize requirement, that will add to the part cost.
Other fees, some die casting companies charge a “Set Up Fees” or an “Environmental Fees” or an “Energy Surcharge Fees” or a packaging or pallet fee, we do not have any of these hidden fees.

The Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic
Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic:
- Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).
- Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.
- Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.
- Aluminum brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.
- Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.
- Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.
- Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.
- Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.
- One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.
- Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.

How are Aluminum Military Parts Made in 2022?
How are Aluminum Military Parts Made. It is not surprising anymore if you find out that even military devices have aluminum parts. Indeed, this is true. The operations of military personnel can never be complete and successful without the use of this material. Some of the most common military parts made in aluminum include armored vehicle fire suppression system housing, missile nose piece, fire sensor housing, pump parts, and a lot more.
However, as compared to other aluminum-made materials, aluminum military parts are made differently. It greatly depends on the military device to which it will be attached or used into. In short, aluminum military products are in a made-to-order basis. Unlike other parts that are easily available in the market, a person or an organization that needs military parts needs to order one first before they can have the part they need.
More often than not, an aluminum military part manufacturer works on a specific part in less than a month from the date of order. In most cases, the order can be made in around two weeks’ time. Once the manufacturing of the part is finished, they are conveniently shipped to whoever made the order. With all these, aluminum military parts are made in a longer period than other devices. This is mere because they need to be carefully crafted to promote efficiency at all times. These military parts cannot afford to become failures.

Pioneer Diecasters History
My previous article from 09.21.22 I announced my disappointment that Pioneer Die Casting Company closed ” Pioneer Diecasters Inc Closing ” In 2012, I had lunch with the owner of Pioneer, Carl H. Spahr, and he detailed much of the history he has had at Pioneer Die Casting Company since he started working there.
They were open over 80 years ago and incorporated in the state of California for over 70 years. Carl’s father started doing business as Pioneer Diecasters the 1930s and according to public records, he incorporated as Pioneer Diecasters, Inc on February 23, 1949.
Mr. Spahr worked closely with Lefty Harris around that time in the 30s. Lefty started Arrow Die Casting Company later. Carl started working at Pioneer in the 1940s or 1950s. They were primarily operating in the aluminum die castings business.
During our lunch, in June of 2012 Carl said he was in his early 70s. Pioneer Diecasters company employed about 17 people at the time. He had a very lean manufacturing operation. Carl said he visits the plant two or three days a week. He has a good manager that has been with him over 20 years and he runs everything. Carl said over the many years of running the company he has had issues with legal labor disputes in the 50’s, problems with the IRS in the 60’s and litigations from disgruntled employees in the 80’s. These were difficult times on occasion, but Carl said he still loved owning Pioneer Diecasters, Inc.
I am saddened to see the loss of another die casting company competitor in California.
