The Thermal Aspects of Die Cast Light Fixtures
You might know the fact that one of the crucial factors that affect the lifespan of a light fixture is the thermal design of the LED application. Manufacturers use aluminum die casting to produce different kinds of light fixtures design for LED application. The main trigger points to note during this process are the considerably […]
Read MoreWhat is Gravity Die Casting
Gravity die-casting, also referred to as Permanent Mold, is a casting process involved in the production of non-ferrous alloy parts. This includes Cast Iron, Aluminum, Zinc, and Copper base alloys. It is most suitable for processes that uses medium to long runs of castings that typically weigh anywhere from 0.5 to 50 kilograms. A majority […]
Read MoreDesign for Manufacturability (DFM) Tips for Die Cast Parts
The design goal in weight reduction of die casting parts is to minimize the volume of material components and save weight and cost in die casting. The more the amount of metal in the components, more will be the time to fill the die cavity and to cool the metal before ejection. Moreover, pockets can […]
Read MoreDie Casting for Aluminum Lighting Fixtures
Lighting fixtures have been made from Aluminum for many years, as these fixtures are less expensive when compared to the others. Before Aluminum die casting, light fixtures were made from other metals like Steel using welding, and this was a time consuming and costly process. Welding also needed a lot of labor. Yet, the science […]
Read MoreFew Things to Know about Die Casting
Mastering the technique and implementation of die-casting is a difficult task and it requires a lot of training and practice. This is the major reason why many businesses hire experts to complete the process. Hiring an expert is the best way to ensure that there are no imperfections in the final product. Die cast mold […]
Read MoreDifferent Types of Die Casting Process
Die-casting is a manufacturing process utilized for casting metal products, which involves the forced introduction of molten metal into the mold cavities, at very high pressures. It is the most appropriate process for the fast production of bulk metallic parts that needs minimum post-production machining. There are two main types of die casting process: Hot-chamber […]
Read MorePost Treatment Methods for Die Casting Products
Many different varieties of post treatment methods are used for Zinc and Aluminum die casting products. These types of post treatments are usually divided into heat treatment, healing and modification treatment, surface treatment, and packaging and assembly services. All of these post treatments have their own respective characteristics and a few of them do have […]
Read MoreHigh Pressure Aluminum Die Casting Process
High-pressure Aluminum die-casting is a process that is used in the manufacturing industry. In this process, molten metal, usually Aluminum, is injected under force into a steel die or mold with a die casting machine to make various products. Owing to the exceptional dimensional accuracy and smoothness of surfaces, most of the high-pressure die-casting does […]
Read MoreDie Casting Process Cycle Explained
Die casting is the manufacturing process that makes geometrically complex metal parts, making use of molds that are reusable. These molds are called dies and the process involves a furnace, metal, die casting machine, and a die. Metals used in the die cast process are usually non-ferrous alloys, such as Zinc or Aluminum. Die Casting […]
