Knowing the Best Types of Roof Tiles
When it comes to roofing, choosing the right type of roof tiles is essential. Roof tiles not only provide protection to your home but also greatly impact its overall aesthetic appeal. As a professional in the field, I would like to share with you the best types of roof tiles available on the market:
1. Clay Tiles: Clay tiles are known for their durability, longevity, and timeless appeal. They are resistant to fire, insects, and rot, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial properties. Clay tiles can withstand extreme temperature changes and require minimal maintenance. They are available in various shapes, sizes, and colors to suit different architectural styles.
2. Concrete Tiles: Concrete tiles are another popular option due to their affordability, durability, and versatility. They are manufactured to mimic the appearance of clay or slate tiles and are available in a wide range of colors and textures. Concrete tiles are resistant to fire, insects, and harsh weather conditions. With regular maintenance, they can last for several decades.
3. Slate Tiles: If you’re looking for a premium roofing material, slate tiles are an excellent choice. Known for their elegance and natural beauty, slate tiles are exceptionally durable and can last for over a century.

Does Thicker Walls in Die Casting create Stronger Die Cast Parts in 2023?
Kinetic Die Casting Company has helped many customers develop new products. There are many factors singular to the die casting process that are needed to consider such as product strengths, draft angles, gate areas, material types, material flow, slide features, undercuts, and wall thicknesses.
Over the years, I have had to convince several buyers, engineers, and designers that increasing the thickness of the walls or other sections in a die casting part does not increase the part strength. In fact, it does the opposite. As the molten metal is injected through the gate, into the die casting mold, the metal freezes on the wall surfaces of the die on the die casting part exterior and interior. The metal contacting these die surfaces is denser and harder than the section sandwiched between the two wall surfaces.
The first .030” to .050” surface of the casting where the metal is denser is commonly called the “skin” of the die casting. The die casting skin is on both interior surfaces and exterior surfaces. The material between the two skin surfaces is weaker and less dense. A part that has a wall thickness of .080” would have a skin surface of about .060”, on the interior wall .030” and the exterior wall .030”. The section sandwiched between the two skins, approximately .020” would provide little strength.
Die Casting parts should not typically be thicker than .125”. On die casting parts with thicker walls than .125”, the increased thickness decreases the wall strength by increasing opportunities for porosity, shrinkage and laps. Parts that will be machined should only have less than .030” removed to preserve more of the die casting strength and to avoid exposing porosity.
When it comes to increasing strength in aluminum die casting parts, other methods are used. I will detail how to strengthen die casting parts in future articles.
