Important Metals. Manufacturing a die cast metal part needs equipment like hot-chamber or cold-chamber machines. These machines have the die or mold in them, as well as the injection component for a high pressure mechanism. This will push the molten …

Are aluminum die casting parts stronger and cheaper than steel?
Are aluminum die casting parts stronger and cheaper than steel?
How can an aluminum die cast part be stronger than a steel weldament? Kinetic Die Casting, Inc. makes an aluminum die casting Boomerang cam lever part for a lift manufacturer that once was a two pound steel welded unit. This unit consisted of two steel plates, 1/8″ thick, with holes drilled, tapped, and welded to steel spacers with a bushing at each end, then painted. Occasionally, these units would fail in the field. Manufacturing costs ran about $7.00 per part in production quantities of 1,000 each week. Another difficulty is that it took three to four weeks to make the first steel part and only a few 100 could be produced a week. This hindered increased sales.
Kinetic Die Casting now produces these parts in aluminum die casting that weigh only 3/4 pounds; the steel unit weighed over two pounds. The aluminum die casting parts are stronger (3x greater axial load) and more reliable. There is no need for paint on the aluminum die casting parts. The Kinetic Die Casting part price of each die casting unit is less than $3.00.
Kinetic Die Casting can help you develop an aluminum die casting that will reduce weight, increase strength, and cost you less money.
Advantages of the Aluminum Die Cast Part over the Steel Weldament:
- 3x greater axial load strength.
- Fewer part failures in the field and fewer returns to the OEM.
- Part weight is 2.5x less in aluminum saving money in shipping cost.
- Production quantities (1,000’s) within a few days instead of weeks as before.
- Production rate is faster as an aluminum die cast part.
- Raw part manufacturing cost is 2.3x less as an aluminum die cast part.
- Finishing cost is less as an aluminum die cast part.
- Better looking parts as a die cast part.

Hot Chamber And Cold Chamber Die Casting
Hot Chamber And Cold Chamber Die Casting. In the method of die casting, melted metal in injected effectively into die casting molds, or “dies”, under very high pressure. Since this process of shaping metal is very adaptable, die casting is extensively utilized as a method for forming metals into special shapes like die cast speakers. While it may use a almost the same method as mold casting, die casting uses pressures of up to 10 to 210mpa to inject metal into the die. The ensuing material shows consistency of parts, dimensional accuracy, and smooth surface finishes.
There are many diverse materials utilized in die casting, such as copper, zinc, tin, magnesium, and lead. Nevertheless, aluminum is the most extensively uzilized evaluated to these other materials as the metal is more impressionable, and is excellent for manufacturing large size cold chamber die castings, to die castings collected of tiny and intricate parts.
There are two methods utilized for die casting, specifically the cold chamber which manufacture cold chamber die castings, a cold cylinder is injected with melted metal. With less time exposure given for the metal to be pushed into the mold, cold chamber method is more often utilized for metals that without difficulty meld with iron at very high heat. The cold chamber method is also utilized for metals that have high melting points.
Alternatively, in the hot chamber process, like hot chamber zinc die casting the pressure found in the die cavity connected to it becomes enduringly a part of the melted material. A plunger is driven toward an area that is non-pressurized, exposing the inlet port attached to the pressure cylinder.

Drumheller Industries
Drumheller Industries specializes in zinc parts die casting. Drumheller uses primarily #3 zinc (zamak) for their zinc die casting parts. They are located at 10967 Tuxford Street in Sun Valley, California 91352. Drumheller Die Casting Company has been in business for over 50 years. Drumheller Die Casting has made die cast tooling for the zinc die casting parts. Drumheller uses only unit dies as their die casting tooling.
Mr. Drumheller built his own “Hot Chamber Zinc Die Casting Machines”. Drumheller served his customers in their Zinc Die Casting Part needs by building two different die casting machine sizes to accommodate the two most common unit dies used in die casting.
The Drumheller Die Casting Machine is very interesting. It is a “horizontal” die casting machine. In other words, the die casting mold lays down flat in the machine and opens “up and down” verses the customary machines opening “left and right”. These machines have a special feature that allows for the part to be “die trimmed” in the die casting production cycle. This trimming saves time and money in the production of die casting parts.
Kinetic Die Casting Company works with Drumheller Industries on some projects. Kinetic Die Casting Company is happy to be available to anyone in their zinc and aluminum die casting needs. Call us today if we can be of service:

The Die Casting Part Production Process Explained.
What is the Die Casting Process? The Die Casting Part Production Process Explained.
Kinetic Die Casting Company uses a manufacturing process called “Die Casting” to make aluminum die casting parts and zinc die casting parts. But, what is the die casting part production process? Here is a GIF image I have on our home page to demonstrate:
demonstration of the die casting process
“Aluminum die casting is an aluminum metal parts production process where molten aluminum metal alloy is injected into a steel die, under extreme pressure, to manufacture aluminum parts” (Substitute the word “zinc” for “aluminum” in zinc die casting part production process)
Another GIF example example is on this web page:

Cold Chamber Die Casting Process
The image pictured above depicts a Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine as it makes parts. The term “Cold Chamber Die Casting” refers to a separate metal melting furnace. The High Pressure Die Casting, cold chamber die casting process follows this sequence:
- Look at the die casting machine image above
- The die casting machine opens the die casting mold.
- The prior part is removed and the die cast mold is sprayed for the next part
- The aluminum is poured using a ladle into a shot cylinder
- The shot piston injects the metal into the die casting mold.
- The machine opens and the process starts again.
Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company for more information about the high pressure die casting process and about how to get great die casting parts at a great price and delivered quickly, no matter what quantity you need.
