Die Casting Part Identification
There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to be considered such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, wall thicknesses and material weights.
There are many identifiable variables in a die casting part.
* Manufacturers ID marks
* Cavity markings
* Ejector pin location
* Ejector pin diameters
* Ejector pin angles
* Ejector pin depths
* Overflow location and sizes
* Gates sizes and locations
* Tooling drag marks
* Part draft angles

The advantages of Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings over steel
The advantages of Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings over steel. Heat sinks are found in most electronic gadgets and appliances. Although they do not serve a direct purpose for the user, they are actually fitted into the gadgets and appliances for safety reasons. Heat sinks are made to regulate the heat that is generated by electronic gadgets and appliances. As these gadgets and appliances operate, they produce heat from the electrical wiring and other parts. This heat is diverted from these functioning parts all the way to the heat sink. This way, the appliance or gadget does not overheat or malfunction.
By the nature of its purpose, heat sinks are the most abused part of any electronic device. As such, they have to be made from a material that can withstand all the abuse, such as aluminum. Aluminum may be malleable or pliable, but this characteristic does not take away toughness and durability from aluminum. In fact, it is said that in terms of durability, aluminum is actually at part with steel. In terms of weight, however, there is no doubt that aluminum beats still with only one third of its weight for the same size and shape. Its lightweight is another characteristic that makes aluminum ideal for making heat sinks. Finally, the fact that aluminum is more widely available as a raw material than steel is another reason why aluminum beats steel in meeting the demand for efficient heat sinks.

Pressure Die Casting Cast Aluminum Parts for Music vs Sand Casting
Pressure Die Casting Cast Aluminum Parts for Music vs Sand Casting. Pressure die casting is a method used by manufacturers of aluminum parts for musical instruments and gadgets. The process involves melting aluminum and pressure-injecting this into steel molds. The aluminum in the mold is then left to dry and harden. When it has set, the mold is removed to reveal the desired shape of the component. The finished products of pressure die casting are characterized by absence of joints or seams where components are joined through welding or fastening. In addition, it also produces music parts that are accurate in terms of measurement, dimensions and design. As a result, when they are installed into the music equipment where they should be, they produce high-quality output and can withstand longer periods of use.
In contrast, sand casting is a process whereby metal, including aluminum is melted and poured into a mold. Instead of using steel mold, however, this process uses a mold made of either natural or synthetic sand. The mold forms a cavity that shapes the molten metal. Unlike in pressure die casting, metal is not pressure-injected, but simply poured into the sand mold because the sand mold is not too stable to handle the pressure. As a result, the quality of the resulting music parts is not exceptional, as there may be impurities or air bubbles in the finished product. Also, because sand is by nature volatile, a lower degree of accuracy can also be expected.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Automotive Parts vs Extrusions
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Automotive Parts vs Extrusions. Aluminum is a precious metal for the automotive manufacturing industry. This is because this alloy has revolutionized the making of automotive parts, and has made it possible to produce parts that are sturdy and strong enough to withstand the load, and at the same lightweight. Because the supply of aluminum is also high all over the world, the use of more aluminum than steel or other metals has pulled down the cost of producing automobile parts.
Two of the major methods of manufacturing aluminum automotive parts are pressure die casting and extrusion. Pressure die casting involves melting aluminum and pouring this into a steel mold through pressure. On the other hand, extrusion is a process whereby aluminum is pushed or siphoned through a mold having the cross-section of the desired product.
While the two processes enable manufacturers to produce all sorts of automotive parts, it is widely accepted that pressure die casting is the better, more efficient process. This is so because the process quickly and accurately introduces the molten raw material into the desired mold, so that all parts of it dry up and set at the same time. This results in high-quality products of even consistency. In contrast, extrusion is likely to produce parts of uneven quality and consistency because the process takes a longer time to fill the mold with the molten raw material.

Where do you find Aluminum Speaker Parts?
Where do you find Aluminum Speaker Parts? One of the most valuable elements found on earth that have found their ways as prime materials in the manufacturing industry is aluminum. Aluminum is a metallic element known for its good conducting properties, light weight size and durability. The use of aluminum can be seen in several important industries that include the manufacture of automobile parts, lighting devices, golf equipment, computer hardware and other things.
In the music industry, aluminum is used in the fabrication of several musical instruments and in audio speakers. There are several characteristics that make aluminum a desirable material for the manufacture of audio speaker and these include the factors of size, conductive properties, material durability, as well as material and production costs. Aluminum is very lightweight as it is one of the lightest elements that occur on the surface of the earth. Compared to steel, aluminum weighs only a fraction of third of the former. This property makes the manufacture and material transport easier and hence, cheaper. As aluminum is also one of the most abundant metallic elements found on earth, the material is inexpensive.
Where do you find Aluminum Speaker Parts
In the US, there are several manufacturing firms that fabricate speaker parts using aluminum. These firms are said to able to achieve cost effective productions, shorter production time and assist in fine tuning and design of the speakers. There are several ways on how to make aluminum speaker parts but the most popular process that has become a favorite among these US manufacturing firms is the die-casting method.
