Die Casting Parts
Aluminum Die Casting is a process which was developed almost 200 years ago. It is done by using high pressure and injecting a molten metal liquid of the desired material into a mold and allowing the liquid to solidify. Typically, the materials that are used in die casting should not be easily melted and should be malleable to an extent. Today, the best materials that can be used for die casting purposes are aluminum or zinc alloys. Die Casting is used by many manufacturers because of the comparatively low price of the metal products compared to the mass production and manufacturing of the products using other means.

Short Run Die Casting Parts Production
High pressure die casting is a process we use to make die cast parts. We inject molten aluminum alloy or zinc alloy metals under pressure into a steel die to produce aluminum parts. Die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process. We have made millions of these die casting parts for our customers that are manufacturing companies since 1994.
We typically ship thousands of parts to each customer a week. Kinetic Die Casting Company is one of a few die casting companies that are willing to produce “Short Run Die Castings“. We accept small quantity purchase orders, meaning that we will produce less than one thousand (1,000) parts in a production run. Some of our customers place a blanket order for 1,000 parts with deliveries of 100 every month. Some of our customers will send us a purchase order for 100 or 200 parts. We are happy to help all of our customers with their needs.
