Aluminum Handles

Posted on 02/17/2014 by admin

Aluminum Handles. Drawers, doors, and basically anything that can be opened or closed requires a handle to be used. Initially, homeowners think that the best handles or aluminum hardware are those that can match the color and texture of the furniture on which it is used on. While this may be true, it is not the most efficient method. Handles that match a furniture’s theme are usually made from wood or plastic. This makes the handles prone to breakage especially if the furniture is used multiple times in a single day. It is therefore recommended to use aluminum handles on all furniture.

Aluminum handles have a certain degree of protection that outclasses most materials used for the same purpose. For instance, these handles do not break or crack under extreme pressure whereas wood disintegrates over time. Also, these handles would require an excess amount of weight before they start to bend. This makes them ideal for doors and heavy-duty storage compartments. In terms of aesthetics, these handles do not have much to offer since their looks are simply straightforward. They usually come in a silver or black color with a matte or satin anodised finish.

Aluminum handles can be purchased in hardware stores, online stores, and DIY stores. An entire section is oftentimes dedicated to handles and a majority of the handles being sold is of the aluminum variety. They come in different shapes, sizes, and forms. Still, they all share the same properties and it is expected that all of them will last for a very long time.

A Comparison: Die Cast Parts or Plastic Parts. Within the past decade, plastic molded products have become plentiful in the market. More and more plastic products are being shaped as extra to metal products such as faucet, door knobs, and chair braces. Die casting manufacturing industry is facing an opposing that produces products that do not disintegrate or rust. However, the question is, which is actually better, Die Casting Parts or Plastic Parts?

Durability

Die cast parts are essentially stronger likened to their plastic counterparts. In cases that a material is desired to be built thin and yet tough, die cast parts are desirable. Also, die casting parts can endure a wider range of temperature than their plastic counterparts, permitting them to be more ideal in severe working environments with dangerous temperatures.

Furthermore, since, die casting manufacturers use non ferrous type of metals like aluminum, zinc and magnesium, the quarrel that die cast parts are most probable to corrode easily lacking out of the picture.

Environmental Issue

When it comes to issues with environment, plastic products do not promise very well. If you wonder how long plastic products biodegrade, then the answer is: it takes at least few hundred years. This suggests that old and non-practical plastic products are going to flood the landfills. Likening these plastic products to die cast parts, the latter is really made of recycled material. About ninety five percent of metal utilized in die cast parts production is recycled from recovered parts. With this, metal is established to be a more maintainable material that could be used not only once but countless times over.

Advantages of Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Plastic Chassis

Posted on 01/10/2011 by admin

The Advantages of Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Plastic. The use of aluminum chassis castings have increasingly become popular in recent years, particularly in the automobile industry, due to growing pressure to decrease vehicle weight to cut fuel consumption. While both aluminum and plastic are easy to produce, an aluminum chassis can dissipate heat better than a plastic one, thus preventing cars from overheating. Also, aluminum keeps its shape better even in severe weather conditions.

In karting, two of the materials normally used in the construction of the belly pan or chassis of a cart are plastic and aluminum. Both plastic and aluminum chassis castings are lightweight, but plastic is the more inexpensive option. However, the advantages of using aluminum chassis castings far outweigh those of plastic, which has a lot of disadvantages. Compared to aluminum, plastic is not usually thin enough for countersinking to make the fasteners flush. Plastic also has a tendency to discolor and swell when it comes in contact with fuels, oils, and grease. When exposed to warm temperatures, plastic expands and becomes wavy or starts buckling, which results in a wavy belly pan surface. Cold temperatures, on the other hand, cause some types of plastic to become brittle and eventually shatter. Aluminum chassis castings, while being expensive, does not encounter the aforementioned problems that plastic has. Additionally, the biggest advantage of aluminum is that is can be dimpled so that it can give a countersink in thin metal, and this enables the use of flat head screws. The end result is a perfectly smooth belly pan.
