Finding Die Casting Bracket Castings in many very different locations is interesting. While flying in a Boeing 747-700 Airplane I discovered that the “Seat-Back Tray-Table” is held up using two aluminum die casting parts as Bracket Castings. These bracket castings …

Tour Inside a Metal Casting Company
A Quick Tour Inside a Metal Casting Company. An aluminum Die casting company is one in the metalworking industry that offers specific services to other industries. These services pertain to the fabrication of metal parts– from product design to casting, machining, and metal finishing; up to the assembly and testing of the product. These aluminum Die cast metal parts might be for very different purposes, depending on the company involved. Markets and industries that have a need for a aluminum die casting company are the automobile industries, the aeronautic industries, telecommunications, electronics and electrical markets; even the guns and toys market use aluminum Die cast metals for their parts.
Inside a Aluminum Die Casting Company you will find big machines to handle all kinds of aluminum Die casting jobs. There are actually two kinds of equipment in aluminum Die casting; there is the hot-chamber and then there is the cold-chamber machine. The process involves injecting a non ferrous metal with a low melting point on to a die or mold while the metal is in liquid form, then letting the metal harden to the shape of the mold. In this way, a number of metal parts can be manufactured in a small amount of time and still ensure good detail and quality of the mass produced object. Different kinds of metals can be used in making such parts, and the customer can choose depending on the product he wants to be molded. Brass can be used for knobs and fittings, aluminum for heat generating and electronic equipment, lead and tin alloys for piping needs, small parts equipments for zinc, automotive parts for aluminum and magnesium. Aluminum Die casting company experts will advice customers on the best metal for the job.

Man in the Die Casting Process
The History of Metals and Man in the Die Casting Process. To understand the die casting process is to understand the history of metallurgy and to peruse the history of man. Man has been shaping metal since antiquity. We fashioned our tools, weapons, and implements from the metals we found in the earth. The first metal we used was gold, then copper. Gold exists in its natural state and did not require much processing, but copper had to be smelted. This was the start of a crude metalworking industry.
The manufacturing of die cast parts in modern times is a far cry from those first attempts of civilization. Now it is not an outdoor bonfire that we use, but a high tech die casting machine inside a die casting company to melt and mold our metals. Aside from copper, we have discovered more useful metals like aluminum, zinc, tin, brass, magnesium, and lead.
The parts we manufacture out of metal are not anymore crude knives and arrowheads, but precision parts for modern industries like telecommunications and automobiles, mobile phones, fiber optics, computers and laptops, children’s toys and collectibles such as die cast model cars and airplanes.
The process we use is high pressure injection molding and a four step procedure involving lubricants and shots and ejector pins, or a heated-manifold what they call direct-injection die casting procedure which is a less complicated procedure than the first one, no matter how it sounds.
The metal parts that we manufacture nowadays are various things like mobile phone antennas, electronic connectors, industrial housings and fittings, bicycle pedals, sprockets, gas knobs and valves, handles and lids, door hinges, fasteners, doorknobs and zippers.

What are Metal Casting Parts
What are Metal Casting Parts? If you’re interested with the metalworking industry or are looking into the different kinds of metal materials used and products made in the several metal-related businesses that are around today, you’d surely encounter the term “aluminum die casting parts” most of the time during your search. Also referred to as aluminum die cast parts, such are the products that can be made using the aluminum die casting process, one of the most popular methods in casting these days.
But what is the aluminum die casting process to begin with? The aluminum die casting process is used for the production of custom metal parts. The process, which is considered versatile by many manufacturers, forces molten metal under high pressure into steel molds – which are called dies – that are reusable. These molds can be designed in a number of ways so that simple from complex shapes can be attained while observing a relatively high degree of accuracy, as well as repeatability for bulk orders of some costumers. Thus, aluminum die casting parts are born and sold into the growing market of the metalworking industry.
When it comes to metal casting, aluminum die casting metal parts are really a sight to behold. Both manufacturers and consumers never fail to be awed by the quality of metal parts that can be produced using the famous aluminum die casting process. These metal parts do not only boast of dimensional accuracy and measurement preciseness, they can also be sharply defined using a variety of options for texture. They can be made smooth, rough, or heavily detailed. Moreover, their finishing touches are more attractive and highly serviceable, as opposed to those used by other metal casting methods.

Custom Metal Prototype Parts
Custom Metal Parts – Prototype Parts Options
Stereo Lithography ( SLA )
SLA is a process that converts a three dimensional (3D) file into a plastic part in a matter of a few hours or days. Kinetic Die Casting has provided many SLA parts to prove a design for our customers. Sometimes a customer needs a sample of what will be produced in the die casting mold to prove “form, fit or function”. Many times a simple SLA in hand answers many questions. SLA parts are fragile and can be broken if dropped.
Prototype Casting
Prototype castings are produced using a special SLA as a template for a form and then a few castings can be produced. The process is very fast and accurate for prototype custom metal parts. Many times parts can be produced in less than a few weeks. These parts are aluminum and are more sturdy than the plastic SLA parts.
CNC Custom Metal Parts
CNC machining of custom metal parts is less expensive when producing more than a few parts for prototype. The 3D model can be translated into a machining program and as many as a few hundred parts can be produced in a week. These parts are machined in metal, usually aluminum but can be steel. Steel is heavier and steel may not be stronger than aluminum.
