Does Thicker Walls in Die Casting create Stronger Die Cast Parts in 2023?
Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many customers develop new products. There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to consider such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, and wall thicknesses.
Over the years, I have had to convince several buyers, engineers, and designers that increasing the thickness of the walls or other sections in a die casting part does not increase the part strength. In fact, it does the opposite. As the molten metal is injected through the gate, into the die casting mold, the metal freezes on the wall surfaces of the die on the die casting part exterior and interior. The metal contacting these die surfaces is denser and harder than the section sandwiched between the two wall surfaces.
The first .030” to .050” surface of the casting where the metal is denser is commonly called the “skin” of the die casting. The die casting skin is on both interior surfaces and exterior surfaces. The material between the two skin surfaces is weaker and less dense. A part that has a wall thickness of .080” would have a skin surface of about .060”, on the interior wall .030” and the exterior wall .030”. The section sandwiched between the two skins, approximately .020” would provide little strength.
Die Casting parts should not typically be thicker than .125”. On die casting parts with thicker walls than .125”, the increased thickness decreases the wall strength by increasing opportunities for porosity, shrinkage and laps. Parts that will be machined should only have less than .030” removed to preserve more of the die casting strength and to avoid exposing porosity.
When it comes to increasing strength in aluminum die casting parts, other methods are used. I will detail how to strengthen die casting parts in future articles.

The Environment and Aluminum Die Casting in 2023
The Environment and Aluminum Die Castings. In our Earth’s crust, aluminum is the most abundant (8.3% by weight) metallic element and the third most abundant of all elements (after oxygen and silicon).
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces parts using aluminum. Aluminum is theoretically 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities. The global per capita stock of aluminum in use in society (i.e. in cars, buildings, electronics etc.) is 80 kg. Much of this is in more-developed countries (350–500 kg per capita) rather than less-developed countries (35 kg per capita). Knowing the per capita stocks and their approximate lifespan is important for planned recycling.
Other manufacturing materials, such as steel and plastic, can not be recycled or have limited recycle ability. These materials fill our landfills and break down very slowly. Many plastic materials appear as if they will last forever in our landfills.
Recovery of aluminum via recycling has become an important facet of the aluminum industry. Recycling involves melting the scrap, a process that requires only 5% of the energy used to produce aluminum from ore, though a significant part (up to 15% of the input material) is lost as dross (ash-like oxide). The dross can undergo a further process to extract aluminum.
Recycled aluminum is known as secondary aluminum, but maintains the same physical properties as primary aluminum. Secondary aluminum is produced in a wide range of formats and is employed in 80% of aluminum alloy castings.
The aluminum die castings manufactured by Kinetic Die Casting Company are made from 100% recycled aluminum that has been alloyed into the proper aluminum alloy that our customers specify. Typically, A380, A360 or A413 aluminum alloys.

Parting Line Flash on Die Casting Parts in 2023
Parting Line Flash on Die Casting Parts. What is Die Casting Parts Flash on the Parting Line?
Die Casting part tooling produces parts from two halves, (1.) the hot half and (2.) the ejector half.
Die Casting Mold Ejector Half
See more Tooling Information…. Click Here Die Casting Mold Ejector Half
Where these two halves meet is called the “parting line”. The parting line on the die casting part is where most of the hand labor is expended. On occasion, parts need to be filed or sanded on the parting line. Many times, a trim die will cut the excess flash from the parting line like a cookie cutter.
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces many types of die casting parts. Most of these parts are cleaned by use of a trim die. The trim die can save as much as 15% of the part cost and reduce the part production time by half.

Aluminum Heatsinks for Your Convenience in 2023
Aluminum Heatsink
Aluminum Heat Sinks for Your Convenience. Aluminum heat sinks have the ability to absorb and disperse heat from another object through thermal contact since aluminum has good electrical and thermal properties. This amazing characteristic makes aluminum heat sinks ideal for cooling purposes. An aluminum heat sink is a piece of molded aluminum usually placed on top of a processor. In most cases, you would first have to remove the heat sink before you would be able to see the processor.
Wherever a need for effective heat dispersal exists, there will undoubtedly be aluminum heat sinks installed. Refrigeration is the foremost industry that employs the use of heat sinks. The aluminum heat sinks produced these days come in various shapes, forms and sizes. The standard heat sink though, contains long fins and thin protruding extensions for directing the heat coming from the processor to the cooler setting inside the heat sink. Majority of today’s heat sinks available in the market are furnished with fans that blow cool air towards the fins to disperse the heat more efficiently. These fans are usually situated on top or in the middle of the fins.
Die Cast Aluminum Heat Sinks are designed in such a way that less machining is necessary. The production rate averages from 250 to 2,500 heat sink parts a day. Another great think with aluminum heat sinks is that they are completely lighter than their stainless steel equivalents, having a specific gravity of 0.10 pounds per cubic inch. They are also easily grounded since aluminum is electrically conductive.
Aluminum heat sinks are used in cell phones, motor housings, circuit boards, refrigerators, airplane parts, satellite components, automotive, lighting parts, microwaves, etc.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures products like heatsink die casting, aluminum housings, and lighting fixtures. If you would like more information, please visit our website:Kinetic Die Casting Company

Aluminum Housing for Portable Devices in 2023
Aluminum Housing for Portable Devices. Portable devices, unlike their bigger counterparts, trade strength for portability. This trade-off is necessary to make the devices portable. Thinner and less dense materials are used to reduce the overall weight of the device. This can be seen in many delicate portable devices which break easily when handled incorrectly. However, there is a method that can be used to protect these devices while still maintaining their portability. This is done through the use of aluminum housings.
An aluminum housing is an enclosure that is designed to protect a device from physical trauma. The housing does this in both its interior and exterior. For exterior protection, the aluminum housing uses its shell as a shock absorber to lessen the impact felt by the device. For interior protection, the device is held in place by screws to prevent the device from moving around while inside the housing. In terms of aesthetics, the aluminum housing has a very plain, straightforward look which may be accented with ridges depending on the manufacturer. They come in a multitude of rich colors which add elegance to the aluminum housing.
Aluminum housings can be purchased in several stores including those that sell devices themselves. These stores however only sell housings that fit the devices they sell. The housings being sold all have predetermined specifications so that they can fit devices from multiple manufacturers. If an individual finds that his device is not compatible with any housing, he may contact aluminum manufacturing plants to have them create a custom housing for his device.
