Kineticdc Loses Wait in 2016
Kinetic Die Casting Company (kineticdc) loses wait time in 2016. Kineticdc will ship most production die casting parts in less than 4 weeks. Other die casting companies are trapped in the old way of manufacturing die casting parts and are shipping parts in 12 weeks, 14 weeks and even more than 16 weeks.
How much is the wait time costing their customers? If a product needs to be shipped this month but the die casting parts will not be ready for several weeks, that means lost income for the manufacturing company. Kinetic Die Casting Company solves that wait time problem for our customers.
Many times a new customer will send us a die casting mold from our competitor and we will ship parts in less than two weeks. If you need parts fast, send us your die casting tooling, we will make a special effort to get you your parts in less than two weeks.

Aluminum Heat Sinks are Die Casted
Aluminum Heat Sinks are Die Casted. Aluminum Heat Sinks have one important purpose, and that is to regulate heat generated by the product it is in. These heat sinks are placed in most electronics and appliances so that the heat from electrical wiring and other parts of the product are diverted from them into the heat sink, thus protecting them from overheating and malfunctioning. In other words, Aluminum Heatsinks provide a very important safety feature for these products. This means that throughout its life span, it will take on a lot of abuse and beating, which is why aluminum is ideal for the job.
Did you know that aluminum is a very tough and durable material? It has been noted that it is comparable to steel in terms of durability. But, when it comes to weight, aluminum weighs just a third of steel of the same size and shape. This makes it ideal for making heat sinks. Also, aluminum can be harvested almost anywhere in the world. This means that it is cheap and easy to acquire. To meet high demands for Aluminum Heat Sinks, the manufacturing process known as die casting is used.
Furthermore, the first step in die casting Aluminum Heatsinks is to liquefy the aluminum bars that are going to be used. Once in their liquid state, they will then be injected into casting molds. These castings give the liquid its new shape. Then, pressure of up to 35,000 pounds per square inch/PSI is applied on the castings. This will let the liquid set in every part of the die cast mold. It will then be set aside to cool and harden. Once opened, the product only requires a few finishing touches and its done.

Why are Aluminum Die Casting Parts better than Zinc Diecast Parts
Thank you for reading our newsletter. Please feel free to make a comment below about this article. You can also visit our facebook page to see other topics we are sharing with our customers. If you have suggestions for future articles, please send them to us.
Here is a comparison of aluminum parts and zinc parts:
Die Casting Tooling
A die casting mold made for an aluminum part runs in a cold chamber die casting machine. The die casting alloys aluminum and zinc both run in a cold chamber die casting machine. So if the die casting mold is made for aluminum, it will produce parts in zinc or aluminum. A zinc hot chamber die will not make parts in aluminum.
Die Casting Part Weight
Although an aluminum die casting mold will make parts in zinc or aluminum, the cost of the zinc parts will be higher. By volume, zinc materials weigh about twice as much as aluminum alloys. The costs per pound of the two die casting alloys are almost equal, so the cost for zinc parts is significantly higher than the cost for aluminum parts.
Electrical Conductivity
Aluminum is the third most electrically conductive metal after gold and copper. Therefore, aluminum is the better choice for EMI/RF shielding and for electrical grounding. Zinc rates far below aluminum in electrical conductivity.
Thermal Conductivity
Most electrical heat sinks are produced in aluminum alloy because it is superior to zinc alloy in thermal conductivity.
Recyclability
Aluminum is the most recycled metal in the world. All aluminum die casting alloys are made from recycled aluminum products.

Why are Aluminum Die Casting Parts better than Zinc Diecast Parts
The Different Types of Die Cast Tooling
The Different Types of Die Cast Tooling. Die cast tooling are the dies and the molds used for die casting. These die cast tools many forms namely Trim Dies used for die cast parts, Die Cast Family Mold Tooling, Complete Class “A” Die Cast Mold Tooling or Die Tooling, Unit Die Tooling, Prototype Die Cast Tooling Inserts and Die Cast Tooling Inserts.
The die cast tooling inserts since among all the die cast tooling, these are the least expensive. These actually are just enough steel to create cavities plus extra steel to put up with the fluctuations of the temperature of molten metal injecting under force. To extend the tooling life, the inserts should be heat treated to reach their proper hardness, not too hard and not too soft. Making it too soft will cause it to easily get damaged or easily wear from erosion and making it too hard, on the other hand could result to the steel cracking due to high temperature. Toolmakers who do not use enough steel in the inserts may reduce its potential life.
Furthermore, the die casting tooling inserts need to be supported by a type of holder so that metal could be injected into it and also to provide a sort of a path for the metal to pass and go in while the gases escape. These gases should be removed because it can produce porosity. This holder of inserts are called unit die, family die or mold base.
You will need to ask expert toolmakers to do this job for you. You just simply need to look online for you to find the expert that could help you. Varying websites of different die casting companies can be found in the internet. All you need is to choose which is the one nearest you.
