Aluminum Die Casting Parts Aluminum parts that are die cast are less expensive than steel. Steel parts weigh three times (3x) more than aluminum parts. So, the cost of materials by weight of the part is less. The cost to …

Delmar Die Casting Company Tooling
I have received several RFQ’s (requests for quote) from prior DelMar Die Casting Company customers lately. These RFQ’s are for zinc die casting parts. Delmar Die Casting Company left a large hole in the Southern California zinc die casting economy. Many of these prior Delmar Die Casting Company customers and potential Kinetic Die Casting Company customers have their die casting tooling in their possession. Not all the tools are what you would expect. Some are die casting tooling inserts and some are unit die tools.
I have visited some of these companies to inspect the die casting tools. In every instance, I am able to make parts using their die casting tools.
I have found that these customers typically need only a few zinc die casting parts a year. Some times a few hundred zinc parts or a few thousand zinc parts. It seems that the these customers have a need that other die casting companies are not willing to fulfill. I am happy to make the low quantities for these customers.
If you have your die casting tooling from Delmar Die Casting Company, and you need a local California zinc die casting source for zinc parts, contact me here at Kinetic Die Casting Company.

Commercial Die Casting 101: Tooling Made for Die Casting
Commercial Die Casting 101: Tooling Made for Die Casting. Nowadays, die casting is popular choice for metal-working in large scale productions. Modern automotive, aircraft and related industries require metal parts that are tough and durable. Die casting, other than being a shaping process, is inherently a metal treatment. The final product exhibits high yield and resistance to multi-directional loading. Here is a set of components and tooling made for die casting:
The most important elements in the method are the dies. A pair of cover and ejector halves is required to start the process. They contain the shape that the molten metal will follow. Unlike other types of casting, dies can produce very detailed pieces in just one processing. However, these parts must be kept clean and lubricated on every operation.
The cover die has an opening that receives the molten metal. It must be carefully lubricated so that the final product will be smooth. Another tooling made for die casting is the set of ejector pins, which are connected to the ejector die. They facilitate quick dropping of the solidified metal. In traditional methods like sand casting, you have to remove the final products from the mold manually.
Another important tooling made for die casting is the fluid line system. Water lines are used to feed water into the machine during compression. Water serves as lubricant and coolant to the contacting parts. Gas escape lines, on the other hand, allow gas to escape from the metal during shaping. If gasses are not allowed to escape, gas bubbles may be trapped in the finished product. Gas bubbles are indicators of high porosity, making the piece weaker to tensional stresses.

Brass Die Casting Swimming Pool Parts
Brass Die Casting Swimming Pool Parts. Brass die casting swimming pool parts are a very good choice when finding fixtures and accessories for your swimming pool. Whether you are looking to purchase ladder anchor sockets, anchor wedges, escutcheon plates, valve handles, valve caps, cap screws, nuts, link bolts, pool anchors and pool anchor covers, hardware made of brass will give you all your money’s worth. There are a lot of reasons why most pool builders and owners prefer brass parts.
The most glaring reason is of course the fact that brass is one of the metal alloys out there that are most resistant to corrosion. Needless to say, this is a very important factor you need to consider when looking for swimming pool parts. You need parts that will stand the test of time and water. Brass die casting swimming pool parts are your best options if you want quality, durability and longevity.
It’s no secret that rust and corrosion are among the worst enemies of pool owners. Brass parts will lessen these problems. So the next time you go looking for new parts, whether as replacements for already corroded parts or as new installments, always prefer brass die casting swimming pool parts over other metal alloys. There are a lot of options when it comes to finding the perfect brass pool parts. There is of course the nearest hardware store in your area. In many cases however, it’s pretty hard finding brass parts in brick and mortar establishments. When this is the case, you can always go look for the parts online.

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

H13 Die Casting Tool Steel
Kinetic Die Casting Company uses H13 tool steel to make die casting molds. H13 tool steel, if used properly, will make a die casting mold that produces well over 100,000 parts before the die casting cavities fail.
Not all steels are the same. Steels are usually developed for a specific purpose. Different steels are stronger or more brittle than others. Steels have a greater or lesser amount of carbon and other materials. Some steels can be heat treated to a very great hardness. Some steels are pre-heat treated.
The most common steel used of die casting molds is called H13. This steel was developed to withstand the incredible temperature fluctuations required in the die casting process. H13 is usually heat treated to a Rockwell hardness that improves the quality of the cavities. Other types of steel age too rapidly or are too soft to make die casting tooling from them.
Some inexpensive mold makers try to save money on the steel used to make die casting tooling. When that happens, they save only a few hundred dollars but the mold will last only for a few thousand parts before the die begins to fail.
If you are ordering a die casting mold, be sure to specify H13 tool steel for the cavities or you will not get enough life from you die casting tools. Kinetic Die Casting Company only makes tools using H13 tool steel. We have made die casting molds that produced well over 500,000 parts before replacement.
