New Aluminum Chassis Castings
New Aluminum Chassis Castings. Having your own means of transportation is now an important thing to have. You go the office every day, and the most convenient way of transportation is through car. Having your own car saves time and energy. In getting the best car for your needs, you should also consider the parts of it. One most neglected part is the chassis of the car. After checking the motor, the tires and other parts, make sure to pick a car with New Aluminum Chassis Castings.
Having your car with new aluminum chassis castings has certain advantages. First thing is that since aluminum is especially lightweight, it will be easier for you to control the car. Shifting it left, turning it right is less hassle. It also means less energy consumption because less energy is used to control it. Another thing is that since aluminum is tougher than steel, you can bet on its durability and strength, it will last long than other cars not made of new aluminum chassis.
There are two ways on making new aluminum chassis castings. It’s either pressure die casting chassis casting or sand casting. San casting takes longer because you need to use a lot of tools, on the other hand, die casting is simpler without the needs of any extravagant tools.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Hardware Brackets vs. Sand Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Hardware Brackets vs. Sand Casting. Aluminum hardware brackets are used in fountains, lighting fixtures, and electric fans. In construction projects, aluminum hardware brackets in the form of braces are used to hold wooden beams at the correct angle while a structure is still being built. It goes without saying that aluminum hardware brackets are used for various purposes in everyday life, so how can they be manufactured quickly enough to meet consumers’ needs?
To make aluminum hardware brackets, manufacturers can use either the pressure die casting method or sand casting, which are just two of the many methods used to cast aluminum. Pressure die casting basically involves melting the aluminum, which is then injected under pressure into a hardened steel mold or die in the shape of a bracket. Afterwards, the mold is cooled, often in water. When the aluminum has hardened, half of the mold is moved and ejector pins push out the new aluminum cast that is now a hardware bracket. Sand casting, on the other hand, involves mixing sand with binders and compacting water around metal or wooden pattern halves to produce a mold that is shaped as a bracket. The mold is then removed from the pattern, and aluminum is poured into the mold’s cavities. The mold is cooled first and afterwards, it is broken to remove the aluminum cast which has settled into the shape of the mold. Sand casting is suitable for producing both ferrous and non-ferrous castings in a wide range of sizes and shape complexity, while pressure die casting is appropriate for manufacturing small to medium non-ferrous castings of thin walls and varying complexity. The method for producing aluminum hardware brackets obviously depends on the purpose for which aluminum hardware brackets are to be used.

Die Casting Part Identification
There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to be considered such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, wall thicknesses and material weights.
There are many identifiable variables in a die casting part.
* Manufacturers ID marks
* Cavity markings
* Ejector pin location
* Ejector pin diameters
* Ejector pin angles
* Ejector pin depths
* Overflow location and sizes
* Gates sizes and locations
* Tooling drag marks
* Part draft angles

Where do you find Aluminum Speaker Parts?
Where do you find Aluminum Speaker Parts? One of the most valuable elements found on earth that have found their ways as prime materials in the manufacturing industry is aluminum. Aluminum is a metallic element known for its good conducting properties, light weight size and durability. The use of aluminum can be seen in several important industries that include the manufacture of automobile parts, lighting devices, golf equipment, computer hardware and other things.
In the music industry, aluminum is used in the fabrication of several musical instruments and in audio speakers. There are several characteristics that make aluminum a desirable material for the manufacture of audio speaker and these include the factors of size, conductive properties, material durability, as well as material and production costs. Aluminum is very lightweight as it is one of the lightest elements that occur on the surface of the earth. Compared to steel, aluminum weighs only a fraction of third of the former. This property makes the manufacture and material transport easier and hence, cheaper. As aluminum is also one of the most abundant metallic elements found on earth, the material is inexpensive.
Where do you find Aluminum Speaker Parts
In the US, there are several manufacturing firms that fabricate speaker parts using aluminum. These firms are said to able to achieve cost effective productions, shorter production time and assist in fine tuning and design of the speakers. There are several ways on how to make aluminum speaker parts but the most popular process that has become a favorite among these US manufacturing firms is the die-casting method.

Die Casting Alloy Impact Strength

Produced the waist mounted camera harness for the movie industry. We were contacted by Cinema Products to look at a revolutionary new aluminum locking mechanism for their product. There were 10 items that created the locking mechanism consisting of Pivots, Pawls and Locks for the left and right side of the harness. We made aluminum die casting tooling for them the cost was about $50,000.
The weight of the 10 parts was very light because of their material choice, but they ran into some issues that made 380 aluminum a poor choice for the alloy. Units were failing in the field. We discovered it was because of the limited impact strength of 380 aluminum of 3 foot pounds. We suggested another die casting material, #3 zinc alloy, which has an impact strength greater than 40 foot pounds.
Cinema Products believed they were stuck at an impasse to pay another $50,000 for zinc die casting tooling. Kinetic Die Casting was able to produce zinc parts using the aluminum die casting tooling, saving them several thousands of dollars.
