Aluminum Parts Types – Their Roles in Welding
Aluminum Parts Types – Their Roles in Welding. Have you ever heard of welding? The welding industry is expanding fast and the requirements for the materials are also getting harder. It is in this sense that the welding companies notice the value of aluminum and its alloys. Essentially, the aluminum parts types are reasonably agreeable when it comes to welding metalwork pieces. Aluminum is after all is thought to be one of the finest metals to use because of its fluidity during the heating procedure. Even when a much lower or a comparatively higher temperature is used, there is in truth no problem in dealing with the aluminum and its alloys.
Aluminum contains properties that respond successfully in the welding method. It simply melts and then never fractures even after hardening. The process of aluminum welding is performed depending on the aluminum parts types. Several of these parts are those that include the so called commercial grade aluminum which are compressed with about 99% of purity. As a result, the effects of the heat treatment differ as well. Those that contain lead or copper in them are too tough to weld and typically end up fracturing during the procedure of welding.
The welding process of the aluminum parts types comprise the TIG and MIG along with the other customary techniques of resistance welding, plasma, gas, and utilization of insulated electrodes. TIG is the approach used in creating the fine surface finishes and in the welding of pipes and repairing the castings. In the meantime, the MIG technique suits the welding of thicker aluminum metal pieces that entail a longer welding cycle.

Southern California Die Casting Companies
Not to many years ago, there were over 70 die casting companies in the Southern California area. In 2010, I posted a list of
When I posted the list, (Thursday, December 30th, 2010), there were 26 die casting companies remaining in Southern California. Two (2) years later, five (5) more die casting companies have closed or were taken over. Now, as of December 27, 2012, there are 21 die casting companies remaining in Southern California.
Here is the 2012 Southern California Die Casting Company List:
- Alcastco Die Casting Company
- Alloy Die Casting Company
- Aluminum Die Casting Company
- Ambritt Die Casting Company
- American Die Casting Company
- Arrow Die Casting Company
- Art Mold Die Casting Company

Kinetic Die Casting Company is doing very well. A few other of these die casting companies are doing well, but some of these companies are nearly out of business.
If you are a buyer of die casting parts in Southern California, consider this:
- If the die casting parts you are buying are “cheap” or more expensive everywhere else you look, your die casting supplier is hurting and may go out of business.
- If your die casting supplier does go out of business, how do you get your die casting tooling?
Kinetic Die Casting Company:
The good news for you and our Kinetic Die Casting Company customers, is that we finished the 2012 year very strong.
We have a full work backlog for January 2013 and we look forward to obtaining greater goals in future years.
