Aluminum Hardware Handles-Die Casted
Die Casted Aluminum Hardware Handles. Hardware handles are made specifically to open doors among other things. This means that these handles are designed to be pushed, pulled and bluntly, take a lot of punishment throughout their existence. Because of that, hardware handles need to be very strong and very durable so that it can last a long time. With that in mind, what better way to make these handles than with aluminum? Aluminum Hardware Handles are essentially stronger and much more durable than any other handle of different material including steel. At the same time, Aluminum Hardware Handles are very light, and of course, cheap.
Furthermore, Aluminum can be mined in the earth and are extracted from ore. Even if people consider this to be a very valuable material because of its unique characteristics, it is cheap because it can be found in abundance. In molding this material into the proper shape, the best method is die casting.
Also, Die casting is the process of turning metal into a finished product. Aluminum is commonly used in this process but zinc and copper can also be used. The first step is to turn the metal alloy into liquid by heating it. When the metal is already liquefied, it will be injected to molds that will shape the metal into Aluminum Hardware Handles.
Die Casting Aluminum Hardware Handles would result in consistent products with high quality. At the same time, it is a fast and efficient process in producing aluminum based parts. When it comes right down to it, companies and manufacturers truly benefits with die casting.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes aluminum die castings as Die Casting Aluminum Brackets. As a Die Casting Company, we make these parts every day and ship thousands of these aluminum die castings every week.

Presidents’ Day 2016 and Almond Roca
Presidents’ Day 2016 – The third Monday in February is Presidents’ Day. Washington’s Birthday was a United States federal holiday.
This holiday, celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, our first President of the United States. Now, this day is known as Presidents Day, and is often an occasion to remember all the U.S. presidents, not just George Washington’s actual birthday, February 22 or Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is February 12th. The term “Presidents’ Day” used to change the holiday into a day honoring multiple American presidents.
Recently, the February holiday is a day in which many retail stores, especially furniture stores and car dealerships, hold discount sales. Until the late 1980s, banks and corporate businesses closed on this day, similar to present corporate and bank practices on Memorial Day or Christmas Day. With the late 1980s advertising push to rename the holiday, more retail businesses are staying open during the holiday each year, and, as on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Veterans Day and Columbus Day. Many colleges and universities hold regular classes and operations on Presidents’ Day. Most U.S. Postal Service delivery services offer regular service on the day.
Happy Presidents’ Day – Kinetic Die Casting Company will be open on this day for regular hours to serve our customers. We are currently shipping our new production part purchase orders in 4 weeks. We are thankful to our customers for their production parts they purchase from us.

Die Casting Tooling Inserts
Die Casting Tooling Inserts. There are four types of die cast tools. These are: the single cavity die, the multiple cavity die, the unit die and the combination die. However, all of these dies may have one thing in common. These may be using smaller pieces of metals called inserts. With the advancement in the designing process, many of the more sophisticated die casting tooling can now be fabricated successfully using these smaller pieces of metal. Although these may look nothing more than thin rods of material or even a blob of metal (literally) inserted in the die, inserts are probably the best and most economical way of creating sophisticated cast die pieces.
The main purpose of inserts is to create the holes or the running tubes within the piece. In earlier times, these holes or tubes can only be “placed” within a finished piece by manually or mechanically gouging it out. Needless to say, this can be a pricey affair especially if you consider the actual cost of hiring either skilled workmen to drill the holes or buying machines for the same purpose. Also this practice was subject to a lot of errors and therefore not feasible for mass production – especially when quality control is very rigid.
Fortunately, die cast tooling inserts can now be easily accommodated in most cast die machines. The material used for inserts depend on the actual materials being processed by the machines. As a rule hot chamber machines use molten materials with lower melting points like copper, lead, magnesium and even zinc. On the other hand, cold chamber machines use mainly aluminum or aluminum based alloys which have higher melting points. The inserts are made from the same materials as the actual die, usually steel alloys, but these are reinforced to make sure that metal erosion does not take place during the actual production stage.
