Exploring the Process of High Pressure Die Casting
Exploring the Process of High Pressure Die Casting. The process of high pressure die casting is one of the fastest and cost effective methods in shaping metal products. Many manufacturing companies in the fields of automotive, aircraft and electronics use die casting as the primary metal working procedure. It produces high quality products with strong yield and fine finish. It provides strength treatment which is far better than forging, extrusion or sand casting.
The procedure involves two dies: the cover die half and the ejector die half. Between them is the mold cavity. When the dies are fitted together, the plane of intersection is called the parting line. During metal working, molten metal is forced to the mold through an opening in the cover die. This is done with very high speeds, due to the high pressure of injection. These are called “shots.” While the metal is still in liquid form, extreme pressure is applied, compressing the dies. This will be maintained until the metal solidifies.
The process of high pressure die casting is further divided into two groups: cold chamber and hot chamber processes. Basically, both employ high pressure shooting and compression of the molten metal. However, hot processes can only be used on metals with lower melting point. These include copper. Cold processes are used on high melting point metals like aluminum and magnesium. Cold processes take a relatively longer time before the shot is compressed at the dies.
In both methods, the process of high pressure die casting is consistent in producing tough products. They are highly resistant to torsional and tensional stresses, making die casting popular in multiple industries.

Maximizing Roof Tiles Production with New Roofing Tilemolds
Maximizing Roof Tiles Production with New Roofing Tile molds. Aluminum is a kind of metal that has a long history of utilization in the construction industry. Several roofing firms have found out that aluminum provides a good material for tile molds. In order for a company to produce thousands of roof tiles a day, it should have a sufficient amount of tile molds at hand. However, it may not be possible for a roofing company to acquire such huge amount of molds. This is the reason why the die casting companies are now offering the construction firms their new roofing tilemolds, which are made of aluminum.
There are some die casting companies that are able to produce aluminum roofing tile molds at a large scale. The companies themselves are operating through a process called extrusion, which is basically the key to multiple productions of aluminum items. The aluminum tile molds are likely to aid the construction firms in the manufacture of concrete roof tiles.
All of the roof tiles that are fabricated from aluminum molds have the same design and strength as the ones that are originally produced by the construction firms. The aluminum molds are also more affordable than those that are made of steel. Aluminum is a lightweight metal that can be easily transferred from place to place. Because of this, the shipping costs for aluminum molds are less expensive compared to steel molds.

Boost Your Audio Production with New Aluminum Speaker Parts
Boost Your Audio Production with New Aluminum Speaker Parts. Another field that utilizes aluminum for the manufacture of finished products is the music industry. Manufacturers of audio components and speakers have found out that there is a great potential for aluminum in the production of musical instruments and devices. Because of the implementation of some cost-effective measures in audio companies today, the manufacture of audio devices is now seen in a much faster pace. If quantity is as important to you as the quality of your audio devices, then you should consider ordering new aluminum speaker parts.
Aluminum speaker parts are produced in large quantities every single day. This is made possible through the method of die-casting. The said parts are later delivered to the audio devices company so that it may generate final products twice the amount of what it can actually produce by itself. The quality of the products does not seem to change in the course of the production since the aluminum speaker parts are manufactured according to the preferences of the audio companies.
During this economic downturn, it is necessary to consider the use of aluminum parts in the manufacture of speakers. Aluminum is a good alternative to heavy steel and is noticeably cheaper than the latter. It is specifically used in the manufacture of the frames for voice coils in audio speakers.

Metal vs. Plastic: Die Castings Used for Audio Speakers
Metal vs. Plastic: Die Castings Used for Audio Speakers. Examine your sub-woofer speaker closely. Can you tell if it is made from aluminum or plastic? Aluminum die castings used for audio speakers are a popular application of die-casting as a machining procedure. These types of speakers are very similar with plastic-built ones, and they have several advantages too.
Many speaker brands use plastic as frames and fixtures of their speakers. They are shaped through soft molding, where molten plastic takes the shape of the mold. Plastic is desired because it is cheaper and easy to manufacture compared with metals. The market patronizes plastic-built speakers because they are light and easy to carry around.
However, there is a recent problem with plastics in terms of toxicity and recyclability. Hence, die castings used for audio speakers have become more popular. Aluminum is widely used for speaker frames and internal fixtures. Plastics need several treatments for them to be tough. They need plasticizers and conditioners. Aluminum, on the other hand, is already tough and durable by itself. Especially because it undergoes cold-chamber die casting, aluminum speaker parts exhibit low brittleness and good elasticity. It fights on par even with the best treated plastics. Aluminum is also very light.
Aluminum die castings used for audio speakers are made from high pressure molding. The molten aluminum is injected to a pair of dies. Then, pressures of 10 to 175 mega Pascal are applied until the shaped metal solidifies. The resulting product is stiff and non-toxic, and it is easily recyclable. Just disassemble it and it can be processed again.

Die Castings Used for Motorcycles: Mechanical and Fixed Parts
Die Castings Used for Motorcycles: Mechanical and Fixed Parts. Most automotive and motorcycle manufacturing companies are now shifting to die casting. Die castings used for motorcycles and cars are more economical to manufacture. Plus, they exhibit traits of metals which are specially treated to produce high yield and resistance to deformations. Consumers and assembling companies choose die-cast parts because they are very durable.
Die casting is a metal shaping process that uses heat and very high pressures. At the beginning of the production line, die-cast tooling takes in molten metal. A certain amount of that liquefied metal will be fed to the dies. Here, there are two dies that are pushed against each other. The molten metal will be forced to take the shape of the cavity between the dies. Die casting can be used to form sheets, rods, billets and small detailed parts.
Hence die castings used for motorcycles and automotive take less time to prepare. Depending on the cycles of the processor, hundreds of products can be finished within minutes. There is no need to manually weld or screw separate pieces, since intricate designs can be achieved in a single molding. A common motorcycle part created through this method is the engine block itself. The vents, fixtures and holes on the engine are easily crafted without drilling or post-machining. Other examples are fixtures and external frames that hold the body of the vehicle.
Good die castings used for motorcycles are gauged through OEM and ODM standards. Criteria include yield strength, tensional strength and internal porosity. Certification means that the metal parts are durable on extreme conditions and repeated work.
