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.

Brass Die Casting Lock Parts
Brass Die Casting Lock Parts. You may be asking, “Why use brass die casting lock parts?” Why not aluminum? Why not zinc or magnesium? It’s plain and simple. It’s because when it comes to quality and durability, brass die cast lock parts are among the very best.
Locks are meant to stand the test of time. They are used for security purposes after all. Several types of alloys are currently being used in the manufacture of locks. These include aluminum and die-cast zinc and these are pretty good raw materials. However, locks made with brass die casting lock parts are still the most durable ones. Brass alloys have several characteristics that are more pronounced than other metal alloys. Such characteristics include strong resistance to corrosion, durability and of course the ability to modify its color for aesthetic purposes.
The effective resistance of brass to corrosion makes it a very good choice for locks located outdoors. When exposed to the elements like rain and water, locks made from alloys besides brass can easily succumb to corrosion and rusting. Brass can also rust and corrode but the time for corrosion to take effect takes a much longer time.
And let us not forget the natural appearance of brass. The classic and stylish color of brass will always look good on where the lock is fixed. Whether it’s on a door lock or on a piece of furniture as a fixture, brass die casting lock parts have topnotch aesthetics. Durable, resistant to corrosion and an inherent natural appearance – brass die casts have these all.

Fire at Kinetic Die Casting Company
Today, January 17 2011 at 8AM, we had a fire at Kinetic Die Casting Company. Everyone was in the lunch room for a company staff meeting. We completed the discussion on “Forklift Safety” for driving, moving pallets and things not to do with a forklift. “Waste of Waiting” was the next topic, where we discussed getting our production parts quicker to our customers by not waiting for processes. We were just in the middle of a contest and discussing the 7 Wastes in manufacturing. Half of the employees had already won a soda for naming four of the seven wastes.
Suddenly someone yelled “There is a fire in the die casting area”.
Fires occur frequently enough in a die casting company, that we know what to do. We ran back to the die casting area and saw that roof was on fire above die casting production cell number two. There was an area of about three feet by three feet blazing ferociously over the production cell number two melting furnace. Three people grabbed fire extinguishers and someone turned off the gas off to the die casting furnace. There was a great deal of excitement for about 20 minutes. Our continuous safety training saved the die casting building.
After the excitement, we resumed our production improvement meeting. The goal is long term improvements to Kinetic Die Casting Company without getting side tracked by other issues.
Kinetic Die Casting utilizes die casting to manufacture parts like aluminum car parts, airplane parts, lighting parts and much, much more. If you would like to request a quote, please visit our website:Die Casting quote

Kinetic Die Casting Company is doing very well. A few other of these die casting companies are doing well but many of these companies are nearly out of business. Two “die casting companies” on this list are down to a “one man operation” while a some others only have a few employees that are called in to work when a new purchase order arrives. A few of these companies are barely making the monthly payroll and utilities expenses. In fact, one of these companies will produce parts in exchange for metal, because they are COD with their metal supplier and they do not have the cash to buy materials to supply their other customers with parts.
If you are a buyer of die casting parts, consider this:
- If the die cast parts you are buying are 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 cast tooling?
Kinetic Die Casting Company:
