What is an Aluminum Die Casting Company? Aluminum today is a commonly used metal alloy in a lot of products covering numerous industries. It is used in building automobiles, it is used in consumer electronics, and it is used in …

Enclosure Boxes
Aluminum Enclosure Boxes and the many other uses of Aluminum. Aluminum enclosure boxes are becoming a preference for many enclosure manufacturing companies for their packaging requirements. The custom enclosure boxes are used as enclosure housings for various products like electronic enclosure components.
The usual packaging types are made of corrugated paper materials, plastic, turned edge, or wood. The aluminum enclosure is a relatively new option for packaging. The enclosure boxes can be in tote style, two-piece set up, or those similar to the CD/DVD boxes.
Aluminum Alloy is a silvery white metal that is ductile, malleable, and conductive of heat and electricity. In its pure state, this metal is soft. It becomes stronger and harder once alloyed with many other elements. Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on earth, but it does not occur without combining with others. It can be found in many minerals like clay, bauxite, mica, feldspar, alum, and others like sapphire and ruby.
This metal is lightweight and is commonly found at home, in the kitchen specifically. Pots, pans, beverage cans, and the aluminum foil are made from aluminum. Many of its properties make it the a very good choice for a raw material in making housings or enclosures:
– Attractive
– Non-toxic
– Resistant to corrosion
– Non-magnetic
– Easy to form, cast, or process into different shapes
– Lightweight
– Electrically conductive
Aluminum alloys are commonly used in airplane enclosures, highway enclosures and road signs, bridges, storage tanks, and buildings too. Auto manufactures prefer aluminum enclosures because it is 1/3 as heavy as steel enclosures and that means lower consumption of fuel.
It is not surprising that aluminum enclosure boxes are becoming a new preference for enclosures even for smaller items because of its many beneficial properties.

Aluminum Recyclability
Aluminum Recyclability Die Casting Parts and Their Planet-Saving Value. These days, many manufacturers belonging to the vast metalworking industry are turning to aluminum die casting in order to provide their businesses with excellent products that can boost sales. Die casting aluminum is more than just an aluminum production means; it is considered both as an art and a craft. There are a number of reasons why manufacturers and those who are thinking of setting up their own aluminum die casting company now go for the die casting process as opposed to other aluminum casting processes around.
One of these reasons is the power of the aluminum die casting process to promote significant reusability, a characteristic that is highly longed for in industrial activities, given the deteriorating state of the planet today. Recyclables, a term that was borne out of desperate attempts at product greenery and the present recycling infrastructure for metal have together created more reasons for engineering-based decisions in favor of the aluminum die casting process and die casting aluminum parts. Recyclability is a top reason why a die casting aluminum company can be proud of its chosen casting aluminum method.
The aluminum die casting alloys used in the aluminum die casting process offer designers that are heavily concerned with post-consumer recyclability a highly favorable material option by way of the die cast parts’ reusability feature. Die cast aluminum parts these days, as well as the entire die casting process itself, give product engineers the chance to create and develop aluminum designs that can save the environment. Thus, components in the die casting process are now made to maintain their integrity and quality through disassembly and the consequent tasks of repair, remanufacturing, and reassembly – major options that were not available or possible in past years.
What does all this mean? It means that once the lives of die casting aluminum parts end, they are armed with the potential to return to usefulness by becoming part of some other industrial application, and an aluminum die casting company can indeed help save the planet.

Aluminum Diecasting Alloys. I get questions sometimes on what is the best aluminum alloy for die casting. Here is some information from my web site. Die Casting Aluminum Alloy Information Chart.
Die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under pressure, into a hardened steel die or also called mold. Dies are often water-cooled. Dies are then opened, and the die castings are ejected (many times thousands of parts each day, sometimes only a few hundred). Once the tooling is paid for, die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process.
Some aluminum die casting alloys are better for corrosion resistance, others for shine after polishing and still others are lighter weight for use in aircraft aluminum parts.
