Diecast Trim Dies
Kinetic Die Casting Company (kineticdc) makes aluminum parts and zinc parts using diecasting tooling aka die casting tooling or die casting molds. There are several possible items that fall under the heading as tooling. In the following weeks, I will be discussing the following terms used as die casting tooling:
– Complete Mold, Complete Die Casting Die
– Unit Die Tools (DME)
– Unit Die Holder
– Die Casting Trim Dies
– Die Casting Cavity Inserts “Tooling Inserts”
– Mold base (moldbase)
Last week, I wrote about Die Casting Tooling Inserts.
This week I write about:
Die Casting Trim Dies
The die casting trim die saves time, labor and money making die casting parts. During the die casting manufacturing process, molten metal is forced into the die casting mold through the shot hole, this uses considerable temperature and pressure. The molten metal is forced into the die cavities. The gases escape ahead of the metal out gas vents. Where the metal enters the cavity is called the gate. The air and gas in the tool escapes out of the tool through over-flows and vents. There is also excess metal in holes and around the edges called flash. The flash, gates, vents and over-flows need to be removed from the casting. This can be labor intensive using files, drills, deburr tools and sanders. A trim die automates the trimming process.
This was a four part Die Casting Tooling Series:
- Complete Molds, Complete Die Casting Dies
- Die Casting Unit Die Tools (DME)
- Die Casting Cavity Inserts “Tooling Inserts”
- Die Casting Trim Dies

Tooling Inserts
Kinetic Die Casting Company (kineticdc) makes aluminum parts and zinc parts using diecasting tooling aka die casting tooling or die casting molds. There are several possible items that fall under the heading as tooling. In the following weeks, I will be discussing the following terms used as die casting tooling:
– Complete Mold, Complete Die Casting Die
– Unit Die Tools (DME)
– Unit Die Holder
– Trim Die
– Die Casting Cavity Inserts “Tooling Inserts”
– Mold base (moldbase)
Last week, I wrote about Unit Die Tools for Die Casting. This week I write about:
Die Casting Tooling Inserts
The terms “Cavities” or “Inserts” are the terms used to indicate a tool that is the least part of a die casting tool used to make die casting parts. These tooling cavities are fitted into a holder, a unit die or a mold base, before the tool can be mounted in the die casting machine.
Please review my previous articles on “Complete Die Casting Dies” and “Die Casting Unit Die Tools” to see what I mean about mounting the mold into the machine.
The Cavity Insert Tool does not have an ejector plate or ejector pins. These items will need to be fabricated prior to fitting the inserts into the holder. Inserts are somewhat small, the most common size is 6×6 inches weighing less than 30 pounds. In comparison, a unit die weighs over 100 pounds and a mold base can weigh 2000 pounds. Purchasing Tooling Inserts is the least expensive avenue into getting die casting parts. The downside is the die casting supplier owns the holder required to make parts.

Aluminum Heat Sinks 2018
Where can you find Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings in 2018? Aluminum Die Casting is a tough and durable metal. It is as durable as steel in some cases. The aluminum alloy is lightweight, weighing only one third the weight of a steel bar of the same size and shape. It is electrically conductive. Aluminum is also heavily abundant, making it very easy and cheap to acquire. This makes aluminum most ideal for making heat sinks die castings.
Aluminum heatsinks die castings are mainly used to regulate, ingest and disperse the heat generated by machines, engines, products by direct thermal contact. Aluminum heat sinks and die casts are used by plenty of manufacturers due to its efficient heat dissipation approach processes. Aluminum heat sinks provide hydraulic qualities to cool different areas and parts of a particular engine or machine. They also protect the devices from exposure to high temperatures.
Aluminum heatsink die castings can be found in many major industries, namely:
- In airplane industries, for airplane parts and machines
- In electronic industries, for computer parts, electronic apparatus, and their printed circuit boards
- In communication industries for microwave, satellite, cellular components
- In automotive industries, for motors, oils and electronics
