REACH and RoHS 3 Compliant 2022
Kinetic Die Casting Company Parts use RECYCLED Materials in our die casting metal alloys. Kineticdc complies with the EU RoHS 3 standards. Die casting alloys have less than 0.1% of any of the REACH chemicals.
REACH
Registration: Chemical producers are required to register safety data for all chemicals produced.
Evaluation: Experts from member states and the European Agency evaluate safety data for higher volume chemicals and other chemicals of concern.
Authorization: Chemicals that are “substances of very high concern” (SVHC) are to be phased out and replaced with safer alternative chemicals.
Chemicals Restriction: Chemicals may be completely banned or some uses of the chemicals can be restricted
RoHS REACH Compliant
REACH and RoHS 3 Compliant 2022
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, EC 1907/2006) is the European Union’s chemical regulation that requires that chemical substances on their own, in preparations and all intentionally released substances from articles must be registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
The regulation applies to substances manufactured in, or imported to the EU in annual quantities of 1 ton or more. According to the REACH requirements on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) a supplier of manufactured and imported articles shall provide customers with information on SVHC if they are present above a concentration limit of 0.1 % on an article level. SVHC will be defined through the list of candidate substances for authorization that is produced by the European Chemicals Agency.

Diecasting Metals Cost Increase March 2022
This week, the cost of die casting aluminum alloy increased another $0.05 a pound, in one week. The diecasting metals cost increases are at 10% in the month of March 2022. Zinc alloys and ZA alloys have risen similarly. Our customers will also unfortunately have to pay higher die casting part prices Or I cannot supply them the parts.
If you have a good die casting part supplier, pay the higher part cost. They cannot avoid these materials cost increases. Die Casting Aluminum Alloy Prices in March 2022 are Crazy.

The Different Alloys Used at Kinetic Die Casting Manufacturing
Die Casting Alloys – The Different Alloys Used in Die Casting Manufacturing. Kinetic Die Casting Company uses different types of metal die casting alloys depending on the needs of our customers.
-
The Die Casting Alloys we use are:
- A360 aluminum die casting alloy
- A380 aluminum die casting alloy
- A383 aluminum die casting alloy
- A413 aluminum die casting alloy
- ZA27 die casting alloy
- #3 zinc die casting alloy
- #5 zinc die casting alloy
A380 is the die casting alloy we use the most. About 80% of our parts are produced in A380. A380 is the least expensive aluminum alloy. It is very versatile for a very nice finish on a die casting part.
A360 aluminum die casting alloy is used when corrosion resistance is required. It is used by many manufacturers whose parts are exposed to salt spray or other corrosive environments.
A413 die casting alloy is another alloy we use to produce a lot of parts. This alloy is used in a lot of thermal conductance applications (heat sinks). It has a very nice surface finish and can be used to cast thinner walls. It has better corrosion resistance than A380.
A383 alloy is less expensive than A413 and also is used when the die casting part wall thicknesses are thinner than normal.
ZA27 die casting alloy is used when greater die casting part strength is needed. This die casting alloy is a marriage between aluminum and zinc.
#3 and #5 zinc die casting alloys are the most common alloys used for zinc die casting. Many of the products that were produced in zinc are now made in aluminum or plastic. Zinc makes up less than 10% of the die casting parts made in America today.

A380 Aluminum Alloy verses A413 Aluminum Alloy
The two more common types of die casting aluminum used by Kinetic die Casting Company are A380 aluminum and A413 aluminum. There are reasons to use either metal.
So here are a few of the details (http://www.kineticdiecasting.com/casting_aluminum.html):
A380
Availability – More
Material cost – Less
Flexibility – More
Thermal Conductivity – Less
Electrical Conductivity – More
Pounds/Inch – More
Pressure Tight – Less
Surface Polish – Less
A413
Availability – Less
Material cost – More
Flexibility – Less
Thermal Conductivity – More
Electrical Conductivity – More
Pounds/Inch – Less
Pressure Tight – More
Surface Polish – More
A380 is the most common die casting aluminum used worldwide. Most part blue prints do not call out the aluminum type so the default is A380.
