Kinetic Die Casting Company makes Superior Quality Aerospace Die Castings.
Our customer recently sent us a die casting tool to produce die casting parts. He recently experienced a reject from his customer and he needed our help.
Honeywell Aerospace (aerospace company) uses a quality inspection document, EMS 230, to accept or reject high pressure die casting parts. Our customer supplied die casting parts to Honeywell and these castings were rejected for “Cold Shots”.
Cold Shots are imperfections in the metal flow into die casting parts due to the metal freezing or solidifying prior to the metal filling the die casting cavity. It usually happens when the metal flow is limited or the metal is not the proper temperature or the die casting mold is not the proper temperature. As a great quality die casting company, we solve these issues every week. We control the metal temperature with thermocouples and we control the die temperature in our die casting process.
It can also happen if the die casting tooling or the die casting part is poorly designed. The die casting process needs metal to flow rapidly into the die casting tool to make solid die casting parts. Design of the tool or part can limit that fluid process.
This is what happened in this case:
* The die casting tooling gates into a section of the die casting part of about 0.030″ thick wall thickness. This is thinner than recommended for the metal to flow into the die casting. This restricts the metal flow.
* There are sections of the die casting that are over .200″ thick. Consistent wall thicknesses are critical for sound die castings.
* The prior die casting company added overflows and vents that worked against each other by filling the tool from two or three directions. These gates, vents and overflows created turbulence in the shot process which cause the metal to cool prematurely.
What did Kinetic Die Casting Company do for our new customer?
* We made some fast tooling changes to improve the metal flow in the die casting tool.
* We made great quality die casting parts for our new customer.
* We did this in less than three weeks for our happy customer.

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
