Why Use Die Casting?
Sadly, die-casting is unknown to most of the people around the world. They are not even interested about how their lighting fixtures, appliances and car parts were created. But for the few of you who took their time to search for this page, kudos to you.
Experts in the industry know for a fact that die casting is a very neat and useful technology that is used on creating metal parts and products. Fundamentally, it is not only used in the metal production industry, it is the same technique used in creating plastic products and materials. The only differences are the materials used in the production, and the materials used in the mold.
To refresh your memory (and for those who do not know), here are the following advantages on using die-casting.
- Fast production rates of products.
- Large part quantities produced quickly.
- Fewer added machine operations (compared to other manufacturing methods).
- Lesser manual labor from any personnel involved.
- Inserts, such as high strength bearing surfaces, heating elements, and threaded inserts, can be cast-in.
If you compare it to sand casting and permanent molds, production with it is faster with lesser labor costs. Compared to permanent and sand mold castings, thinner walls can be produced by manufacturing with die casting. Completed products have very smooth cast surfaces. The products die casted have great dimensional accuracy and constancy. If you compare it with forging, it can produce products that are more complex. Alternatively, if you compare it to stamping, section thickness is not an issue with this casting method. If you compare this method and plastic casting, die casting can produce can create stronger high quality products.
As you can see, die casting is definitely a good choice if a person wants to use a metal part in his product. Die casting is the best choice for high quality manufactured metal products. Kinetic Die Casting Company is your best choice for purchasing your die casting products. Call us at 818-982-9200 or email at sales@kineticdc.com

Kinetic Die Casting Company produces these die cast Lighting Parts at rates of a few hundred to several thousand parts each day to satisfy our customers’ production needs.
In the past, lighting parts manufacturers mostly used steel as material for their lighting products. Aluminum is a more recent innovation in the field of lighting fixtures manufacturing, although aluminum lighting parts have been in the market for a long time as well.
In fact, these days, aluminum is the material of choice for builders and engineers who are constantly looking for lighting fixtures for their projects.
Aluminum lighting parts have many advantages over those made of other materials. In terms of cost, for example, lighting parts that are made of aluminum are cheaper than those made of other materials because the raw material itself is relatively cheaper. When it comes to performance, lighting parts that are made of aluminum are also top-notch. For one, the material is highly conductive and has excellent thermal properties that allow it to withstand high temperatures.
Aluminum lighting parts are also convenient to transport, because they are three times lighter than their steel counterpart. And because they are heavier, even transportation costs are minimal, compared to transporting steel. There are a wide range of aluminum lighting parts in the market these days. The wide selection is caused by the fact the aluminum is flexible and pliable, allowing manufacturers to produce parts in different shapes and sizes, and for any application that they can be used for.

Why Brass Die Casting Lighting Fixtures are a Good Choice
Why Brass Die Casting Lighting Fixtures are a Good Choice. There are two very common techniques used in making lighting fixtures out of brass – sheet lighting fixtures and brass die casting lighting fixtures. In the case of sheet brass fixtures, they are created by taking sheets of solid brass then bending the brass sheets into the desired shapes. This can be accomplished by making use of a high-pressure machine press. The machine press will stamp the brass sheets into their molded shapes. In comparison to die cast brass, sheet brass is much thinner. It is however more economical.
Brass die casting lighting fixtures on the other hand, make use of molds. Liquid brass will be poured into these molds to form the lighting fixtures. Most manufacturers and suppliers prefer die cast molds because of their quality and durability. For parts and fixtures that require consistent fits, efficient finishes and tight tolerances, brass die casting is well preferred. A method called sand casting is often used as an alternative to die casting. In this method a temporary mold made from packed sand is used. Brass is poured into the sand mold and when the brass hardens, the sand mold is broken away. This however does not come close to the efficiency and preciseness of die cast molds.
Brass die casting lighting fixtures speak of nothing but quality, durability and longevity. Even under rugged, humid or corrosive outdoor environments, brass lighting fixtures will last a lifetime. Furthermore, when it comes to aesthetic beauty, nothing can compare to the classic and stylish appearance of brass.

The Advantages of Brass Die Casting Hardware
The Advantages of Brass Die Casting Hardware. Brass die casting hardware are always a good choice if you’re looking for die casting hardware. Brass castings hold a lot of several benefits over their counterparts. Brass is an alloy that combines the strengths and characteristics of zinc and copper. Whether you are looking for lighting fixtures, lock parts, swimming pool parts or even electric motor parts, it’s recommended that you look for those products that were created through brass die casting. It does not matter where you are making your purchase of the hardware, whether from an online retail site or from a brick and mortar hardware store, it’s very likely that they have brass products on their shelves so look out for them first.
Brass die casting hardware boasts of several advantages over hardware that are made from other types of alloys such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and tin.
First, brass is very resistant to corrosion. Even if it’s subjected to salt water, it can still last for a long time. So if you’re looking for hardware that are going to be submerged in water most of the time such as swimming pool parts, getting those made of brass will be a good start.
Second, brass has exceptional strength, high durability, efficient resistance to heat, and of course an appearance that is very pleasing to the eyes. Wherever brass is used, whether on a piece of furniture or house fixture, it brings class and positive aesthetics to it.
With that said and done, brass die casting hardware should be on top of your list when looking for die cast products.

Examples of Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts
Examples of Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts. Aluminum is a lightweight, non-toxic, and non-magnetic metal. It is also resistant to corrosion and can be easily molded and formed into many different shapes. Additionally, there is plenty of aluminum to be had so issues regarding the availability of the metal are nil. Because of these properties, aluminum is one of the most ideal metals for the production of various goods, such as lighting fixtures.
Aluminum lighting fixture parts can be found in various medical lighting products as well as in medical offices where there are hanging light fixtures made from aluminum. Other examples of aluminum lighting fixture parts are endcaps on light fixtures and housings for various kinds of light fixtures, such as parking garage lighting, street traffic lights, walk lights, and high temperature lights. Aluminum lighting fixture parts also come in the form of decorative lighting poles manufactured from rustproof aluminum that is given extra protection against rusting by a powder coat finish. Additionally, aluminum is utilized for light fixtures themselves, such as bullet light fixtures, wall sconce fixtures, and outdoor coach lights. Even though aluminum is lightweight, the metal is highly resilient against extreme weather conditions and seasonal changes. Additionally, the production of aluminum lighting fixture parts is generally cost-effective as aluminum is quite inexpensive.
