Aluminum Alloy Die Casting Information
Die Casting, A Brief Description:
Diecasting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under pressure, into a hardened steel die or also called mold. Dies are often water-cooled. Dies are then opened, and the die castings are ejected (many times thousands of parts each day, sometimes only a few hundred). Once the tooling is paid for, die casting is a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process.

Die Casting Aluminum Boxes
Aluminum Box Castings are aluminum boxes made as aluminum die casting. These aluminum boxes are produced at the rate of hundreds to thousands each day in the aluminum die casting process. The box and cover may be diecasted at the same time for a smaller aluminum box and cover. Aluminum Box Castings are a natural [...]
Aluminum Die Casting Heatsinks
Heat dissipation is the job aluminum heat sinks perform. Heatsinks are typically used in locations where heat needs to be dissipated such as in hydraulics and more typically in electronics applications. In hydraulic applications, heatsinks use air cooling or water cooling to assist in extracting the heat from the protected device. In electronic applications, heatsinks [...]
die casting tooling for airplane knobs
Today work was going into making Die Casting Tooling for Aluminum Knobs. The tool is almost finished. We still need to engrave it and mount it into the mold base. This is a surprise that a die casting tool can be completed so quickly.
