Die Casting Porosity and Its Causes in 2023
Die Casting Porosity and Its Causes. Die Casting porosity is one of the most common defects in the die casting manufacturing industry. What is die casting porosity? Die Casting porosity is a kind of die casting factory imperfection in which the die cast parts have tiny spaces which covers air within the metal – henceforth, the die cast parts become porous. The porosity of die casting parts could weaken the parts itself if the spaces or voids are very big.
To clearly understand the causes of the porosity one must know the basic of the die casting procedure. In a nutshell, die casting procedure includes molding molten metal by placing it inside a short cylinder, and then a great force is applied by a piston connected on the cylinder, pushing the molten metal so it would take the form of the die cast die or die cast mold. During this process, the metal is forced along with the air inside of the cylinder to the die casting mold.
Die casting porosity could be added by several factors like the following:
•
Die casting machine pressures.
•
Temperature of the metal and the mold.
•
The cleanliness of the materials used.
•
Design of the die casting mold.
•
Design of the die casting part.
•
The shot speed of the die casting machine utilized.
•
Die casting mold release or die casting spray
Die casting manufacturers use metals that are non-ferrous or metals that don’t have iron. It is because iron content is the chief reason for oxidation and rusting. Non-ferrous metals include magnesium, tin, lead, copper, zinc and aluminum.

Optimal Die Casting Production part Quantity in 2023?
Optimal Die Casting Production Part Quantity? “I need to buy several thousands of parts to buy die castings”. That is the most common myth or false belief people have regarding the optimal die casting part production quantity. We believe, the optimum production quantity of die casting parts is, the quantity of parts you need to buy.
Unfortunately, many die casting companies also believe the “high quantity only” myth. Some die casting companies perpetuate that myth to force their customers into buying more parts than they need. They refuse smaller quantity purchase orders unless their customers pay a very high “set-up charge”. Sometimes, they will push out delivery of lower part quantities to over 12 weeks, in an effort to dissuade the lower quantity part purchase orders. Then sometimes the part quality is “lacking” but the parts are needed so badly, the sub-quality parts are accepted because we do not have 12 more weeks to wait for replacement parts.
Kinetic Die Casting is thrilled to accept die casting part purchase orders of any quantity. We will accept part purchase orders with deliveries of 10,000 parts or less. Many of our part purchase orders have part deliveries of less than 1,000 parts. In fact, many of our aerospace part purchase orders have deliveries of less than 100 parts and sometimes less than 10 parts.
Our part deliveries range from four to six (4-6) weeks for raw castings. No matter what quantity you want, as long as it is less than 10,000 parts. In most cases we will ship your parts in less than six weeks, if we do not need to wait for outside processes to hold up our part delivery.
In most production part purchase orders, we ship your parts the day we make your parts. We do not have departmental delays that can take several days or weeks to process the parts after the parts are produced.
Our optimal die casting part production quantity, is the quantity you want to buy. Contact us today for a competitive price. Your delivery will be less than six weeks.

What is the Difference between “Low Pressure” and “High Pressure” Die Casting Parts in 2023?
High Pressure Die Casting Parts. What is the difference between “Low Pressure” and “High Pressure” Die Casting Parts?
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes high pressure die casting parts. The term “Die Casting”, in the USA means a high pressure process whereas in Europe it means a low pressure manufacturing process.
High Pressure Aluminum Die Casting? High pressure die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal (aluminum) is injected with a die casting machine under force using considerable pressure into a steel mold or die to form products. …. READ MORE: High Pressure Die Casting

Low pressure die casting is similar to sand casting. Gravity is used fill the molten metal into the mold. This process is much slower, about five minutes or more per part (less than 100 parts per day) than high pressure die casting (more than 500 parts per day), about a part every minute. The part cost for high pressure die casting is much less than low pressure die casting.

Die Casting Manufactured using Lean Manufacturing in 2023
Lean Manufacturing Die Casting. Die Casting Parts Manufactured using Lean Manufacturing.
Everyone believes the die casting is solely a “Batch & Que” manufacturing process. Most die casting companies operate using a the department layout (example.
- Die Casting Department – 500 Parts produced day one (1) shipped to the trim department on day two (2).
- Trimming Department – 500 Parts get trimmed on day two (2) and get shipped to machining department on day three (3).
- Machining Department – 500 Parts get machined in machining department on day three (3) and sent to quality department on day four (4).
- Quality Department – 500 Parts get inspected on day four (4) and sent to shipping department on day five (5).
- Shipping Department – 500 Parts are packaged on day five (5) and shipped to customer on day six (6).
- 500 Parts are shipped at least six days after initial production in the die casting machine.
500 parts produced on the first day of the week get shipped (6)six days later, typically next week. If there is a one (1) day Que in each department, it will add another four (4) days to the six (6) days making the delivery ten (10) days after production.
6 – 10 additional days is a long time to wait for die casting parts for some customers.

Kinetic Die Casting Capabilities in 2023
Kinetic Die Casting Company uses aluminum die casting to product parts, here are some capabilities.
http://www.kineticdiecasting.com/capabilities.html
Die casting is a process that involves creating metal parts. This is achieved by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mold or die cavity. It greatly reduces the need for further post-production processing by producing high quality surfaces, among other things. Most of the tools and products that people use are produced through this process.
There are different materials used for die casting. One of the most commonly-used materials for this process is aluminum. Aluminum die casting is often used for producing automobile parts and gears and surgical equipment. It is also the preferred material for networking and telecom infrastructures and equipment.
Among other things, aluminum die casting alloys are lightweight. They have a minimum section thickness of 0.89 mm (0.035 in) and a minimum draft of 1:100. In spite of their being a lighter material, they nonetheless belong to the stronger and harder types. They have an ultimate tenile strength that ranges from 40.5 to 48/ksi and the hardness is between 80-120 HB. The melting range is approximately from 960-1200 degrees Fahrenheit, making them among the most durable when subjected to extremely high temperatures.
Aluminum die casting alloys are rustproof, non-staining, and have a high conductivity percentage at 55.6-78.6/Btu/fthr.F (thermal) and 23-31% (electrical) per IACS standard. They are most ideal for complex shapes and thin walls and for most electronic applications. Since most aluminum-based alloys are made from 95% recycled materials, their use contributes a lot to the promotion of green technology.
Summing it up, aluminum-based alloys offer an efficient, cost-effective, and nature-friendly material for developing and improving products and tools that help make people’s lives easier and more productive.
