Real Steel on Wheels: Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum car parts. Have you ever wondered why certain automobiles seemed easier to drive due to being lighter compared to other automobiles? It might be thought that the lighter a car, the less durable its parts are. But Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum car parts in a manner where the products can even be stronger than steel and other metals.

The process of die casting consists of injecting molten metal inside a steel die. With both high pressure and velocity, the molten metal is suppressed inside the die and consequently solidifies into more durable metallic products as the molten metal stabilizes. In this case, Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum car parts out of resilient aluminum alloy. It is common knowledge that aluminum is a metallic element that is soft, light, malleable and ductile. However, with high pressure manufacturing process, the company is able to make high quality car parts durable enough to withstand low-cost destruction. And because they use aluminum alloy, this company’s manufactured car parts have a lighter weight compared to those made from other metals such as iron, lead, copper, and so on.

Nonetheless, it is proven that the products made have strong, long-lasting quality. What is even surprising is that Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum car parts in cheaper prices. Aluminum, after all, is cheaper and easier to manufacture. One could see the effectiveness of the company concerning its improvised industrial methods of manufacturing metal products and the company’s beneficial economic impact, by simply making strong yet cheaper car parts.

Why Use American Die Casting Companies

Why Use American Die Casting Companies. Metal casting is one of America’s most fundamental industries. There are about 1,994 metal casting companies in the entire country employing around 250,000 employees.

It is also one of the world’s most dynamic industries. Countries like the United Kingdom, and most notably China and India, have seen their local die casting companies grow rapidly in recent years. One of the main reasons behind it is that some American die casting companies have shifted their manufacturing operations to offshore locations, especially in the Asia Pacific region.

Cost cutting is one of the driving forces for offshore outsourcing. Offshore die casting companies offer lower labor, production, and raw material costs. In addition to it, strict enforcement of local environmental laws is also pointed out as among the main factors behind it.

How can the local die casting industry cope with this development? Why should businesses and consumers use American die casting companies instead of their offshore counterparts?

Quality remains the top edge of the local die casting industry. It is true that offshore companies offer lower overhead costs. However, this does not necessarily translate to getting the same, if not higher, level of quality that American die casting companies produce.

The North American Die Casters Association
NADCA North American Die Casting Logo
(NADCA
) has reported a number of stories where some offshore die casting products and services turned out to be suffering from bad design and workmanship. This caused rework for the local companies that used them. Eventually, they end up spending more to correct such flaws. One local company was even sued because of an inferior product that they sold.

NADCA also questions whether offshore companies are indeed ISO certified. NADCA emphasizes that American die casting companies work according to the standards set by the association. Offshore companies cannot guarantee the same. By using offshore products and services, local die casting companies are in fact creating their own competition. In the final analysis, turning to offshore outsourcing to save money is more of a myth than a reality.

Differences Between Aluminum Die Casting and Zinc Die Casting

Differences Between Aluminum Die Casting and Zinc Die Casting. Aluminum and Zinc are two of the most commonly used alloys for die casting. Which is a better material between the two? There are different perspectives on which this question may be looked upon.

Zinc is the easiest metal to cast. Of all the most commonly used alloys for die casting, it has the lowest minimum section thickness at 0.63 mm. Aluminum, on the other hand, has a minimum section thickness of 0.89 mm.
Zinc die casting is therefore the more production friendly material.

Aluminum is lighter than zinc. The minimum draft of aluminum required for die casting is 1:100 while zinc has it at 1:200. Zinc’s density is at 6.6 gms/cubic cm while aluminum’s is 2.74 gms/cubic cm. Because of it, aluminum die casting can produce more castings per ton of metal than zinc die casting, in spite of the latter being the easier to cast.

Zinc alloy is tougher than aluminum and any other types, especially in terms of impact strength. Due to zinc die casting being more pressure tight than aluminum die casting, zinc is better in terms of waterproofing capability. Products made from aluminum-based alloys are most likely to leak when subjected to waterproofing tests and actual conditions.

Zinc melts easier than aluminum. Aluminum melts at 1,221 degrees Fahrenheit while zinc melts at 787.2 degrees Fahrenheit. In terms of heat resistance, aluminum will appear to be better than zinc. However, in terms of cost-effectiveness, this data only means that because zinc melts easily than aluminum, it can be cast easier using a less costly method called “Hot Chamber”. Aluminum die casting, on the other hand, uses a more costly and slower method of casting called “Cold Chamber”.

Overall, both materials have their respective advantages and disadvantages. This is the beauty of having more than one option for die casting. The ultimate beneficiary of this diversity is not necessarily the industries involved in this process, but the consumers.

    Die casting is a process that involves creating metal parts. This is achieved by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold or die cavity. It greatly reduces the need for further post-production processing by producing high quality surfaces, among other things. Most of the tools and products that people use are produced through this process.

    There are different materials used for die casting. One of the most commonly-used materials for this process is aluminum. Aluminum die casting is often used for producing automobile parts and gears and surgical equipment. It is also the preferred material for networking and telecom infrastructures and equipment.

    Among other things, aluminum die casting alloys are lightweight. They have a minimum section thickness of 0.89 mm (0.035 in) and a minimum draft of 1:100. In spite of their being a lighter material, they nonetheless belong to the stronger and harder types. They have an ultimate tenile strength that ranges from 40.5 to 48/ksi and the hardness is between 80-120 HB. The melting range is approximately from 960-1200 degrees Fahrenheit, making them among the most durable when subjected to extremely high temperatures.

    Aluminum die casting alloys are rustproof, non-staining, and have a high conductivity percentage at 55.6-78.6/Btu/fthr.F (thermal) and 23-31% (electrical) per IACS standard. They are most ideal for complex shapes and thin walls and for most electronic applications. Since most aluminum-based alloys are made from 95% recycled materials, their use contributes a lot to the promotion of green technology.

    Summing it up, aluminum-based alloys offer an efficient, cost-effective, and nature-friendly material for developing and improving products and tools that help make people’s lives easier and more productive.
