More Efficient Way of Producing Speaker Parts
More Efficient Way of Producing Speaker Parts. Advancement in technology has been continuously coming in the society. People have easier and faster means of doing everything as compared to the traditional ones. One of the advancements that occurred is the production of different industrial parts made from different metal alloys. There are also different ways of manufacturing these products like die casting and sand casting. With casting procedures, even the smallest part of equipment can be created with the finest details depending on what type of procedure is used. The common metal alloy used in these procedures is aluminum because it is durable and easy to mold. Manufacturing aluminum parts is also inexpensive as compared to other metals.
In the music industry, pressure die casting is also prevalent because the parts of the equipments are made of metal like that of speakers and amplifiers. Aluminum pressure die casting is perfect for producing speaker parts because these parts are small and the material to be used should be heat-resistant. Other casting procedures like sand casting cannot produce such detailed parts. Since amplifiers and speakers need precise parts, aluminum pressure die casting should be used. Besides, aluminum die casting is much inexpensive as compared to sand casting. The tools to be used are way cheaper and the procedure is much faster in aluminum die casting.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Military Parts vs Extrusions
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Military Parts vs Extrusions. Die casting is a process wherein molten aluminum is injected into a mold with great pressure. Afterwards, they are then set to water cool. When they are opened, they are then ejected. Aluminum military parts are created through this simple and inexpensive manufacturing process. As compared to other processes like sand casting, gravity casting, forging, extrusion, plastic injection moldings and stamping, die casting is inarguably the most efficient process for molding aluminum military parts.
Pressure die casting parts are more recyclable as opposed to forgings and extrusions. Aluminum die casting is efficient and economical when it comes to maintenance, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repair for extending its life. It is non toxic and practical, and can readily be used again and again.
Pressure die casting is produced faster compared to extrusions. It has more net shape, which means that more features, depressions and angles can be placed in one operation. You can create more complex shapes, have thinner sheets, and more accurate dimensions with high pressure die casting for aluminum military parts. Holes can be cast in place rather than machining them later, adding to a higher production cost. There will be fewer waste products in pressure die casting aluminum military parts as opposed to extrusions.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting. Pressure die casting is a manufacturing process used to create aluminum brackets, parts, chassis, audio speakers and more. These metal parts can be seen almost anywhere and everywhere, making them integral in our day to day lives. Pressure die casting initially melts the aluminum metal. The molten metal is then injected into a mold under great pressure. Afterward, it is set aside to cool for a while. When the Mold is opened, it reveals the finished die casting. Because of this fast and easy process, thousands of parts can be made every day.
Gravity casting uses the similar manner as sand casting. It uses the force of gravity rather than high pressure to fill the mold with the molten aluminum metal. Gravity casting is most fitting for mass production and full mechanized casting. One advantage over gravity casting is that they usually give a better surface finish and mechanical properties, due to its slower cooling rates compared to pressure die casting.
Compared to gravity casting, pressure die casting requires less machining. Die castings can cast holes depending on how and where you want it. Die castings give closer and more accurate dimensions, plus it can be produced at a larger scale, with less labor costs per casting.

Porosity in Die Castings
There are many forms of Die Casting Porosity, many are caused by these die casting variables:
- Metal Temperatures and Mold Temperatures.
- Material Cleanliness.
- Die Casting Mold Design.
- Die Casting Part Design.
- Die Casting Machine Pressures.
- Die Casting Machine Shot Speed.
- Die Casting Spray or Die Casting Mold Release.
- Other forms of porosity can be from “shrinkage” or wall thickness.
What is Die Casting Porosity? In order for you to know what die casting porosity is, you need to know the die casting basics. The most common form of Die Casting Porosity is a kind of factory defect in which die cast parts contain small pockets of void space and air within the metal, causing it to become porous.
Porosity in Die Casting is the air trapped by the metal inside the die casting parts. To know more, a basic knowledge of the die casting process is necessary. Die casting is a process wherein a particular amount of molten metal is put inside a shot cylinder, then it is applied (plunged) with great force with a piston so as to force the metal into a die cast mold or die cast die. During this “plunging process”, air inside the cylinder is forced along with the metal into the die casting mold. It is a very fluid turbulent process. The air forced into the mold with the metal and the metal already inside the mold is forced out of the mold through a series of gates, vents and overflows.
After this, the metal is left to cool down and harden or freeze inside the mold. The metal is then removed as a die cast part. The same process is repeated over again.
Die casting companies use metals which are non-ferrous, or do not contain Iron, as this is the highest factor for oxidation and rusting. Several examples of non-ferrous metals include zinc, aluminum, lead, magnesium, tin and copper. Kinetic Die Casting only uses aluminum and zinc.
In the worst case, porosity in die casting parts, weakens die casting parts, if the voids or pockets are very large. Porosity typically matters most in pressure tight die casting parts. When the air escapes through a die casting part, it is typically caused by porosity.

Music Uses Aluminum
Music Uses Aluminum. The use of aluminum products has become widespread. You can see aluminum everywhere and it is actually impossible to be in a place where you cannot see an aluminum part. This prevalence is due to the fact that aluminum is very durable and inexpensive. Many manufacturers prefer using aluminum in their products because it is easy to mold and inexpensive to make. Also, aluminum has chemical and thermal properties that are suitable to heat-producing equipments that can avoid malfunction and give longer lifespan for the equipments. With these reasons, even the music industry is using aluminum for the some parts of the equipments used like amplifiers, speakers, and even guitar chassis. These equipments are sensitive because of the vibrations and frequencies that they receive. This makes the aluminum so perfect for the musical equipments.
Aluminum diecastings are advantageous when it comes to aluminum musical equipment because of the weight. As compared to steel casts, aluminum parts are only one-third in weight. As we know, these equipments are frequently transported so having light weight is really a plus. Also, aluminum casts can diffuse the heat that is produced when using the equipments so they can prolong the life of these equipments. Lastly, aluminum casts are produced near net shape so joints and welded parts are rarely seen. This makes the casts stronger as compared to the steel parts that have joints and welded parts.
