The Bracket that Tells It All
The Bracket that Tells It All. Hardware brackets play a vital role on the things that people use every day, may it be a machine or simple equipments. These brackets are designed to ensure that different parts of the equipment are perfectly in place and do not move. This is the reason why hardware brackets should be strong enough to handle the pressure and strength of the whole equipment. With this in mind, many manufacturers are using aluminum as hardware brackets because of its durability. Aluminum is also light in weight and cheaper as compared to steel.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum hardware brackets in various shapes and sizes. One advantage of using aluminum as hardware bracket is the fact that manufacturers can make a near net shape wherein no welding or assembling is needed. This is because aluminum hardware brackets can be die-casted and the whole shape of the bracket can be molded in a single procedure. This makes the brackets stronger as compared to the steel brackets that need welding and can cause weakness in due time. Also, aluminum hardware brackets are lighter than steel brackets. The actual size of an aluminum hardware bracket is just a third of the steel hardware bracket. Lastly, since aluminum is easy to acquire, using aluminum hardware brackets is much cheaper and more economical.

The Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic Parts
Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic Parts:
- Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic parts will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).
- Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.
- Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.
- Aluminum hardware brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.
- Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.
- Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.
- Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.
- Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.
- One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.
- Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.

Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware Brackets
Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware Brackets. Hardware brackets are produced and used in many industries today, which is why it is a very important component that should be made and processed properly and correctly. Aluminum brackets are made as parts for lighting fixtures, automobiles, and even in construction because its main purpose is to keep all the parts stable, steady, and as much as possible, long lasting. Before, manufacturers would use steel to make these hardware brackets and would have to weld the pieces together. But these welded pieces become weak overtime, which makes it expensive, time-consuming, and you’d have to exert a lot of effort just to maintain it.
This is why many manufacturers now see the advantages they get when they use aluminum die castings to make their hardware brackets. Die casting involves a process of forcing molten metal under high pressure to be able to produce complex yet more tolerable molds to create parts and housings for different things such as military weapons and lighting fixtures. When making hardware brackets, manufacturers would create them using the process of aluminum die casting, afterwards shaping it easily into parts that they know would make it sturdier, more long-lasting, and of course cost-efficient as compared to steel.

Aircraft Brackets
A bracket is an L-shaped fixed structure used to connect one horizontal surface and one vertical surface. Brackets are used for both household and industrial purposes. Steel brackets are costly and heavy. The introduction of aluminum brackets made it possible to produce brackets that are lighter and less expensive.
Die cast aluminum bracket are made from molten metal forced into mold cavities. The process of die casting is perfect if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized parts with good details. Aluminum brackets are good conductors of electricity. Aluminum brackets made by die casting are produced in a faster rate with less labor, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand small parts daily. Aluminum brackets also have holes die cast into the mold so that no drilling is required after, saving time, energy, and money altogether. Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Aluminum Brackets.
There are many kinds of aluminum brackets: An angle bracket, uni-strut universal right angle surface bracket, and a multi-purpose servo bracket. All these are made with quality aluminum and are designed to give absolute support.
The “Seat-Back Tray-Table” of the Boeing 747-700 Airplane is supported with two die cast aluminum brackets, strong enough to hold glasses, plates, a laptop, and even the arms and hands of someone working on the make-shift table.
Aluminum brackets are also designed to be decorative. They are used for lighting fixtures, chocolate fountains, barns, and many more. Die cast aluminum brackets have become the choice of numerous builders because it is cheap, light, and sturdy.
