Pioneer Diecasters Error

Yesterday, I reported that the business closure of Pioneer Diecasters, and that information about them closing is true. Article: https://www.kineticdiecasting.com/kdc/pioneer-diecasters-inc-closing/

Pioneer Die Casting Company
4209 Chevy Chase Drive,
L.A., CA 90039

Unfortunately, I also reported yesterday that the owner Carl H. Spahr had recently passed away. That information about Mr. Spahr’s passing is thankfully incorrect and I apologize. I received false information from someone associated with Pioneer Diecasters that Carl passed away a few weeks ago. I am deeply saddened by my error and I apologize for any inconvenience of my error to the associates, friends and family of Carl Spahr and to Pioneer Diecasters, Inc. I am still sad that the company closed.

Die Casting Zinc Alloys in 2022

Die Casting Zinc Alloys

Die casting zinc alloys to offer castability, a broad range of excellent physical and mechanical properties, and finishing characteristics. The advantages of utilizing zinc alloys include thin walls, close dimensional tolerances, and variation in section design. Compared to others, die-casting zinc alloys have higher strength components.

The die maintenance is reduced and the die life is lengthened because of the lower temperatures under which zinc alloy is cast. There are several companies that manufacture a complete range of die-casting zinc alloys. One of them is the Eastern Alloys.

Die casting zinc alloys have high strength and hardness, which makes them ideal alternatives for machined, pressed, stamped, and fabricated items. Normally cast alloys are non-ferrous and there is a large number available with a wide range of physical and mechanical properties covering almost every conceivable application a designer might require. Die casting zinc alloys are among the most widely used because of their low melting point. Usually, low melting point alloys are cast in a hot chamber machine while intermediate and high melting alloys are cast in cold chamber machines.

One of the fastest and most cost-effective methods for producing a wide range of components is die casting. The major benefit from this process can be achieved if the designers were able to collaborate with the die caster at an early stage of product development and design. In order to help resolve issues that affect the tooling and production during the design phase, it is best to consult the die caster at the earliest possible time.

    Aluminum Aircraft Parts in 2022

    Aircraft or better known as Airplanes are large, very large. They are large because they are designed to carry things, lots of things. Airplanes carry mail, gifts, shipments, food, packages, baggage, and people. Airplanes are the fastest transportation for “things” and people today. Airplanes are fast because they travel through the air. Because airplanes are big and travel through the air, airplane construction materials need to lightweight and strong. Aluminum is used for most airplane components because it is lightweight and strong. The overall airplane part weight is kept down so the airplane will be able to carry more “things”. Therefore, aluminum is used a lot.

    Die casting is the preferred manufacturing process for making Aluminum Aircraft Parts. The reason is that the aluminum die casting process has a lot of advantages over other high-volume aircraft part manufacturing processes.

      Aluminum Aircraft Parts Produced as Die Castings:

    1. Die Casting is less expensive because more than 500 or 1,000 parts can be produced each day.
    2. Die Casting hold tolerance typically to +/- 0.002″ after the die casting tool is approved.
    3. Aluminum weighs 1/3 by volume of a similar part in steel.
    4. Aluminum die casting parts are very strong.
    5. Die Castings are produced near “net shape”, reducing additional manufacturing costs.
    6. Die Casting Tooling reliably manufactures parts repeatably over several thousand parts.
    7. Aluminum die castings do not break down over time as other materials break down.
    8. Aluminum die castings have an aesthetically pleasing surface finish.
    9. Die Casting parts look good after paint or polish.

      Kinetic Die Casting Company makes many types of aircraft parts. We make:

    • Airplane distributor caps
    • Aircraft wheel cove locks

    Aluminum Handles in 2022

    There are many types of handles—positive locking, extruding, folding and standard square, oval and wire type. Most handles are made in brass, stainless steel and aluminum. The most common is the aluminum handle ware.

    Die cast aluminum handle ware are made from molten metal forced into mold cavities. The die casting process is beneficial if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized handles with good details.

    Prior to the introduction of die casting company, most handles are made by welding several pieces together, which is time consuming, costly, and labor extensive. Die cast aluminum handle ware are made faster because they can be produced in net shape, meaning there is no welding or drilling methods needed, saving time, money, and energy all together. Aluminum handle ware can be produced from a few hundred to a few thousand pieces daily.

    Aluminum handle ware can be powder coated and anodized without complications. They are also cheaper compared to steel and lighter than their steel fabricated counterparts. They can also be decorated at a faster rate because decorative features can be easily added to the mold cavities. In most cases, aluminum handle ware can be die cast stronger than stainless steel handles because the former can be designed with strengthening ribs.

    Aluminum handle ware include handles kitchen utensils, doorknobs, fold, locks, lifts, cabinet and door hinges, door bolts and stops, furniture handles, hooks, faucets, shower handles, garden furniture handles, aluminum sliding doors and windows handles, glass door handles, decorative handles, and many more for residential and industrial purposes.

    Kinetic Die Casting manufactures products like aluminum hardware, and aluminum boxes. If you would like more information on Kinetic Die Casting, please visit our website:Kinetic Die Casting Company
