Extruded Aluminum Heatsinks in 2023
Extruded aluminum heatsinks are made by heating aluminum to the point of a semi-solid state. Then this aluminum is pushed (extruded) through an extrusion die. These aluminum forms have the profile of the die it was pushed through, much like the play dough toy extruder. The simple shapes are stars or circles. These forms are cut to the length needed.
Aluminum Heatsinks that are extruded typically have a flat bottom and ribs on the top. They can be extruded in lengths of several feet an cut to shorter lengths. Because these extruded aluminum heatsinks were formed by pushing through a die, there is a limitation on details that can be formed on the top and bottom surfaces. If a depression is needed to mount components then it will need to be machined into the part as a pocket as an after operation, dramatically increasing the part cost. More typically, if holes are needed for mounting, they too will need to be machined into the parts as a secondary operation. Any other holes needed so wires or components can pass through have the same limitation.
The Aluminum Die Casting Process injects metal into a mold or die that forms the top, bottom and sides. Mounting holes, through holes and cavity indentations formed into the part are in the die halfs on the top and bottom. Aluminum Die Casting Heatsinks will have all the features necessary for installing the components and the holes for mounting during the original manufacturing operation. Die casting heatsinks will not require secondary operations for holes and features.

Die Casting Manufactured using Lean Manufacturing in 2023
Lean Manufacturing Die Casting. Die Casting Parts Manufactured using Lean Manufacturing.
Everyone believes the die casting is solely a “Batch & Que” manufacturing process. Most die casting companies operate using a the department layout (example.
- Die Casting Department – 500 Parts produced day one (1) shipped to the trim department on day two (2).
- Trimming Department – 500 Parts get trimmed on day two (2) and get shipped to machining department on day three (3).
- Machining Department – 500 Parts get machined in machining department on day three (3) and sent to quality department on day four (4).
- Quality Department – 500 Parts get inspected on day four (4) and sent to shipping department on day five (5).
- Shipping Department – 500 Parts are packaged on day five (5) and shipped to customer on day six (6).
- 500 Parts are shipped at least six days after initial production in the die casting machine.
500 parts produced on the first day of the week get shipped (6)six days later, typically next week. If there is a one (1) day Que in each department, it will add another four (4) days to the six (6) days making the delivery ten (10) days after production.
6 – 10 additional days is a long time to wait for die casting parts for some customers.
The Kinetic Die Casting Company Difference –
What if a die casting company changed from the department layout and went to lean manufacturing production cell layout?
- Die casting one (1) part in one (1) minute is sent to trimmer. Continues making one (1) part a minute until 500 parts complete in 500 minutes or 8.33 hours.
- Trimmer trims (1) part 1/4 (.25) minutes and sends (1) part to machine area. Continues trimming next 499 parts.
- Machine taps three holes in one (1) part 1/4 (.25) minutes and sends one (1) part for inspection. Continues machining 499 parts.
- Inspector checks one (1) part for 1/4 (.25) minutes and sends one (1) part to shipping. Continues inspecting 499 parts.
- Shipper packs one (1) part in box 1/8 (.12) minutes. Continues packing 499 parts.
- 500 parts complete and shipped to customer in less than ten (10) hours, one shift.
Kinetic Die Casting Company uses a lean die casting manufacturing process to produce die casting parts for our customers. At Kinetic Die Casting Company, in 99% of the 500 part or less production orders, we ship them today.

The Difference between Die Casting or Investment Casting in 2023
The Difference between Die Casting or Investment Casting. If you are to select, what will you favor more; die casting or investment casting process? Choosing between the two is quite a quandary since they have some comparable features. To help you select, this article will help you by presenting the rewards of both techniques.
Advantages of Die Casting
1. Die casting delivers difficult shapes with a reasonably high level of accuracy linked to other mass production technique.
2. Die cast parts are being fashioned at a quicker rate than most of the processes. Also, it needs little to no secondary machining.
3. Due to its high accuracy when it comes to details, die cast parts are dimensionally stable. In totaling, it is also long-lasting.
4. The surface of die casting parts is fairly smoother than the metal cast parts shaped by other methods. Also, the surface could be fashioned with a wide variation of uniformities.
5. Die cast parts, compared to the metal castings fashioned by other methods, can be accomplished with thinner walls.
Advantages of Investment Casting
1. Investment casting brings the designer the freedom and malleability of almost myriad alloy choices, and also elasticity in inside and outside configurations.
2. Investment casting parts are industrial in a way that only trivial secondary machining is vital.
3. Investment casting procedure doesn’t have any draft requirements, making it more exact when it comes to dimensional conformance.
4. One thing that Investment casting could assert about is its benefit in aesthetics. Fine details and intricate features, texts and logos are positively attainable.

Aluminum Heatsinks: What They Do 2023
Aluminum Heatsink
Aluminum heat sinks expels heat from parts and components in electronic applications. Aluminum die cast heatsinks are designed in a way that needs less machining than other manufacturing processes. The cooling fins can be manufactured at the same time as the mounting holes. Heatsink parts are made with all features necessary for cooling electronic components and to mount the heat sinks on the printed circuit board (PC board). Aluminum heat sinks have a high dimensional stability. Heat sink production begins as soon as the die casting tooling is produced. Aluminum heat sinks are produced at the rate of 250 heat sink parts per day to 2,500 heat sink parts per day. Heatsinks look good as raw parts or can be anodized or powdercoated.

What is the Quality of Die Casting Parts in 2022?
Die Casting Part Quality, What Is The Quality Of Die Casting Parts?
Die casting parts are formed in a die casting tool to a specific shape and size. The variance of one die casting part to another part from the same tool after the tool is proven is very little.
The typical dimensional tolerance for a die casting part is about +/- .002″ from point to point over a short distance. Once the die casting tool is proven, the dimensions from point to point vary only a little. The blue print tolerance for a two decimal dimension (.xx) is usually +/- .015″ and the typical three decimal dimension (.xxx) tolerance is +/- .010.
The biggest variance on a die casting part are measurements:
1. From one side of the parting line to the other, or
2. Dimensions measured from a slide to another part feature.
PARTING LINE
The parting line is the area on the part where the two sides of the tool meet and create a seam in the material.
SLIDE
A slide is a solid member in the tool that creates under cuts. An undercut is a feature that can not be created by pulling the tool apart or a feature that is not perpendicular to the parting line.
Other issues such as POROSITY or FLATNESS or WALL THICKNESSES will be discussed in other newsletters.
