The Role of Die Casting Company in the Industry
The Role of Die Casting Company in the Industry. Die casting company and other companies that manufacture similar products are considered in the metalworking industry for manufacturing the highest number of mass produced tools. These are dispersed to commercial, consumer and industrial sectors. A die casting company provide tools that are utilized in numerous different products counting automobile parts, sink and bathroom faucets, connectors employed in houses, toys and a lot more.
The method of die casting starts by injecting the melted metal into dies of mold cavities that are under high pressure. Non-ferrous metals are normally utilized by a die casting company to manufacture their products. Such metals or alloys will decide the strengths and other properties of the ultimate result. These comprise of aluminum, lead, tin, magnesium, zinc and copper. Currently, ferrous metals can also be exploited in the procedure. The process of casting is ideal for production of high volume of quantity of parts which may be tiny to medium that are great in surface quality, detail and dimensional uniformity.
A die casting company should work together with high-quality designers in order to make the best products that they can come up with. This must be done at an early on stage of the progress. This way, certain issues which may come up on tooling and production stages will be determined early on. This will concern the overall costs of the entire production.
Connected topics about die casting design can also be investigated through books, trade journals, technical papers and professional leagues or associations. You will also discover extra information about this on the Internet and in print materials.

How Trim Dies Save Money on Die Casting Parts
How Can Trim Dies Save Me Money on Die Casting Parts? – Is a question, I get asked frequently from potential customers and current customers.
I will discuss what a die casting part trim die is and what it does, but first we need to know a little about how die casting parts are made. The Die Casting Trim Die is part of the die casting part tooling package.
- Die Casting is a manufacturing process where a company melts metal, typically aluminum or zinc, and then injects that metal into a die or mold using extreme pressure.
The molten metal is under so much pressure that the metal “flashes” out around the edges of the part inside the die casting mold. This excess metal is also called “flash”. This flash is typically very thin, sometimes paper thin, wall of metal. The flash is frequently sharp and can cut fingers if not handled carefully. After the part cools sufficiently, the flash must be removed before we can ship the die cast part to our customer.
- The most common ways to remove flash are:
- Using a file or sander – Somewhat labor intensive and subject to “artistic interpretation” from the worker. Not always consistent in the process.
- Using a trim die – A trim die cuts consistently .005″ to .010″ close to edge of the die casting part like a cookie cutter. Is also the fastest way to remove flash.
The trim die is in two parts and each half is bolted on either the upper or lower platen of a trim press. The trim press has typically 15 to 20 tons of closing pressure. The press raises and lowers as the worker actuates the buttons. The die casting part fits perfectly in the trim die bottom, the trim die top half closes on the part and uses a cutting edge to cut the excess metal (flash) away from the part.
Because the trim die cuts the flash from the part accurately and consistently, the part quality is always better when a trim die is used to remove the a flash. So, less money is wasted on poor part quality. The trim press also operates faster than the die casting machine so the flash removal takes less time and labor, thus saving money in part production.
Each of our die casting production cells at Kinetic Die Casting Company has at least one trim press to accommodate a trim die for every die casting production part order. Every customer who owns a trim die, saves money on their part price. Call us today for a FREE competitive part price proposal to make your parts 818-982-9200.

Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum a Perfect Choice
Die Casting Company Makes Aluminum a Perfect Choice. Every die casting company clearly makes it a point to highlight the advantages of aluminum. That is why it has become the ideal choice for the commerce in this time and age. Why is that so? Just picture if the car itself is created of iron parts. Do you believe the cargo carriers will be able to transfer a bunch of cars without any problems at all? The answer to everything is essentially easy. The aluminum is one of the very few lightest metals recognized in the world.
For an automobile company, casting the aluminum offers a decrease in the weight of the whole car. This is the reason which has smoothed the way for the substitution of the iron parts. The same holds true for both the convey and aerospace business. The casting of the melted aluminum alloys into the metal molds is also very economical. They are likewise too practical to use for any die casting company processes. Apply gravity, high pressure, or low pressure die casting and you will still come up with the best finished surfaces and close tolerance. The metal is not hard to shape which thus prevents too much application of machining.
The die casting companies in Australia and the United States are all sticking to one common thought and that is to utilize the use of the aluminum alloys to attain the best finishing products! After all, who doesn’t desire to save much on time, effort, and cost for the whole production procedure?
