Tool and Die Makers Skilled Trades Needed
The excerpt below is from Todd Cuson, M.A. Organizational Behavior, and a qualification officer in Arizona.
Most high school students have no idea what one can earn by learning a trade, “A journeyman generally earns between $28 and $32 an hour (up to $64,000 a year)–a pretty nice wage for a 23-year-old. Most states require a plumber to have 2 to 10 years of experience at the apprentice level to qualify as a journeyman. My neighbor attended a trade school. He is a tool and die maker. He learned the skill in night classes. After spending time as an apprentice, he opened his own shop.It is now a multi-million dollar business”. A competent person learning a skilled trade can easily achieve the American dream. We at 10 best Tucson are on a mission to find the best home service professionals in Tucson and share them with the community. By uniting community officials and business leaders under the common goal of higher quality trades in the labor pool, the ability for honest manufacturing companies to grow without compromising their excellent service records will be achievable. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao recently announced her “Skills to Build America’s Future” initiative. It “will reach out to a new generation of tradesmen and women and encourage them to use their skills and talents to find careers that will help to pave the way to a fulfilling career and bright financial future” (Doleta).
This message must be made clear to the future of our local labor market and to current workers who are considering changing careers. These skills that are currently cultivated by a unique few are ones to be proud of, and can be quite lucrative as well. Becoming a journeyman and with an entrepreneurial co-education or an enterprising spirit practically ensures an exalted status of financial wealth. These are pragmatic messages that must be presented to our youth. Our businesses can grow while maintaining their integrity and providing the absolute best possible service to home owners and customers. They deserve it. Keep a watchful eye on this topic. 10 best Tucson will be the catalyst for change.
Tooling for Magnesium Die Casting
The Proper Tooling for Magnesium Die Casting. Magnesium die casting has been established as a very viable option for manufacturers to increase the efficiency of their production by making production cheaper and faster. However, it is not enough to buy the machines and the metals to be used to integrate it into the production process. The proper tooling for magnesium die casting must be prepared as well.
Magnesium die casting tooling, not just the machine, the mold, and the metal. Each one has its uses for added efficiency to the die casting process.
There are a lot of custom tools, each one suited for different types of die casts. There are also some tools which are notable as they are very useful for all kinds of die casts. The trim die cuts the excess magnesium around the finished die casts. Interchangeable cores make holes of different sizes. Vents allow gas to escape from the die, and overflows regulate the temperature of the die. Finally, ejector pins are used to push out the finished die from the molds.
When choosing the proper tooling for the magnesium die casting, it is important to take note of what is needed for each die cast. Each job is different from one another, so only the basic tools would be present for each. All the rest should be chosen carefully for each magnesium die casting process.

Die Casting Tooling Inserts
Inserts For Die Casting Tooling. There are four types of die cast tools. These are: the single cavity die, the multiple cavity die, the unit die and the combination die. However, all of these dies may have one thing in common. These may be using smaller pieces of metals called inserts. With the advancement in the designing process, many of the more sophisticated die casting tooling can now be fabricated successfully using these smaller pieces of metal. Although these may look nothing more than thin rods of material or even a blob of metal (literally) inserted in the die, inserts are probably the best and most economical way of creating sophisticated cast die pieces.
The main purpose of inserts is to create the holes or the running tubes within the piece. In earlier times, these holes or tubes can only be “placed” within a finished piece by manually or mechanically gouging it out. Needless to say, this can be a pricey affair especially if you consider the actual cost of hiring either skilled workmen to drill the holes or buying machines for the same purpose. Also this practice was subject to a lot of errors and therefore not feasible for mass production – especially when quality control is very rigid.
Fortunately, die cast tooling inserts can now be easily accommodated in most cast die machines. The material used for inserts depend on the actual materials being processed by the machines. As a rule hot chamber machines use molten materials with lower melting points like copper, lead, magnesium and even zinc. On the other hand, cold chamber machines use mainly aluminum or aluminum based alloys which have higher melting points. The inserts are made from the same materials as the actual die, usually steel alloys, but these are reinforced to make sure that metal erosion does not take place during the actual production stage.

WTO Ruling Against Chinese Protectionism
A few proposals and bills have been discussed recently by nations such as the U.S., Canada and the EU that call for level playing fields across several industries. Whether these are adopted or even make it to the table is another issue but their outcomes could shape the international commerce scene. At least it appears that the aloofness displayed by past U.S. governments–that crushed domestic tooling companies–is beginning to fade. For example:
* American-made media such as movies and music have consistently been forced to flow through an unregulated–almost underground–albeit state-controlled, “black market”, which filters the media and charges extraordinarily high fees. The WTO recently found this violates principles of “free trade”. Of course, China plans to appeal.
* Since China’s acceptance into the WTO in 2001, they have amassed $1.95 trillion in foreign trade reserves.
* In India, government placed a six-month ban on lead-filled “Made in China” toys in January, 2009. Several weeks ago, the Indian government placed a new ban on any and all products made of chocolate–which is an extension of their dairy ban on the Communist country. I have absolutely no problem with the steps the leaders in India took to protect its citizens, despite cries of “unfair protectionism” by China–of all people. I don’t know about you, but the thought of injesting melamine isn’t too enticing. I’ve heard that kidney stones and kidney failure aren’t that fun…let alone what it has done to pets and children.
* U.S. Carbon Tarriff has many western supporters. It basically will hold foreign nations that don’t have greenhouse policy restrictions in place accountable through a tarriff starting in 2012. Kudos to them for finally realizing how regulations make American manufacturers uncompetitive when their LCC (low-cost country) competitors do not have to spend the cost required to adhere to them. China’s response? If it passes, they will be forced to retaliate.
