Aluminum die casting and its importance in Aerospace Industry

/in , , /by

Aluminum die casting items are of remarkable use in different industry sectors and more so in the aerospace engineering where precision and top standard items are of greatest significance. These items are used in building both little as well as the big components in the aviation industry. Additional, die casting aluminum is used both in the pivotal military sector as well as commercial. The reason for this is easy – they are cost-friendly solutions and provide amazing outcomes.

Apart from being cost-effective, the parts made from die casting aluminum are additionally prepared to endure extreme weather situations and increased damages. Another vital reason for using aluminum products in aircraft is that the meal is comparatively affordable than other metals that are die casted. Additional,  aluminum has the potential to get with other metals in order to provide durability and much flexible.

With aluminum casted products, you do not have to compromise on the standard yet can them at much affordable production cost. Further, all the standards that have been set for using metal components, aluminum relax the need to the utmost. Hence, they are certified secure for use in planes, affordable and have all the qualities that are needed for flying crafts. So casting aluminum is on the boost like never before. Further, the top thing about an aluminum die cast part is that its weight is favorable for the aircraft works.

So, how actually is casting Aluminum done and what are the processes involved? Well, the reply is simple. Aluminum alloy is first forced into top-grade steel at high speed and force at high temperatures. This outcome in superior standard products that are very light and thin-walled perfect for use as aircraft components.

 It is to be mentioned here that Aluminum die casting is a hard technique. Only a truly experienced and top standard team of engineers can make sure that the parts come with top volumes or with excellent tolerances and surface finish. Actually, this type of force casting is far more famous than gravity die casting or sand casting. This is because the need for machining is this type of weather for Zinc or aluminum casting is extremely low due to the close casting tolerances. Though the tooling cost in casting Aluminum or rather any metal is considerably higher than the other 2 types yet, the mechanical properties achieved thus are far excellent in terms of functionality.

/in , , /by

Color in jewelry enhances a wardrobe, but if you don’t want to wear costume jewelry–or if you cannot wear it due to metal sensitivities–consider fashion jewelry.  And not just fashion jewelry–handmade fashion jewelry with natural elements.

Fashion jewelry?  Quality jewelry made with components that are sterling silver, gold, or gold-filled.  Natural elements?  Yes, natural elements–semi-precious stones, nuts, seeds–with an endless variety.

Have you sworn not to wear costume jewelry?  Are you a little skeptical about the quality of jewelry that is handmade or jewelry that is not classified as fine jewelry?  Let me introduce you to some beautiful, semi-precious stones that will give you something to think about when it comes to quality fashion jewelry.

Semi-precious stone earrings are just one option of components for jewelry that is natural.  The colors and shapes of semi-precious stones are endless.

Are you looking for pink accessories?  Pink rhodonite stone earrings are absolutely lovely.  Rhodonite is a beautiful pink stone (Rhodon is Greek for rose) that appears to have black veins running through it.  The rhodonite stone is feminine yet very durable, and it comes in a variety of shapes.   You will find quality handmade rhodonite earrings available with sterling silver or gold-filled ear wires.

Or perhaps you want beautiful earrings for your black cocktail dress. Consider handmade rainbow obsidian earrings.  Rainbow obsidian is black–a by-product of lava.  This beautiful stone shows flashes of black, blue and green–casting off a beautiful iridescence in the light; hence it’s name: rainbow obsidian.  Rainbow obsidian handmade earrings and cocktail hour make a perfect match.

Are you casually dressed in red?  Have ever seen handmade red sponge coral earrings? Sponge coral is porous like a sponge.  If you really like the natural, organic look, you’ll love sponge coral earrings.  When they are handmade, these casual but classy earrings can be found in sterling silver and gold-filled ear wires.

Blue lapis.  Blue lapis stone earrings are a favorite with women who like semi-precious stone jewelry.  Whether you’re dressing up or down, these vibrant blue earrings will gorgeously accessorize your wardrobe.

The beauty of natural stones far surpasses anything that costume jewelry has to offer.  Expand your jewelry collection, but don’t leave nature out this time.  Consider quality, handmade jewelry with natural elements.  If you’re uncomfortable, ease into it with semi-precious stones.  You won’t regret the move.

Zinc Die Casting

We have been in the foundry business since 3 generations and are proud to keep this going. Our chairman Dr. Dinesh Patel founded the company Dr. Dinesh and Ramesh Eng. Pvt. Ltd. in Ahmedabad. The company covers a space of 10,000 sq. yards (comparable to cricket field) which is only 40% utilized giving us an undue advantage for growth. We have had several metal castings (Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Aluminum) catering to International and Domestic Companies like Ingersoll Rand, ABB, TVS and many others. However, since a decade we have shifted our focus primarily on Aluminum Castings producing from 0.5 kg to 100 kg in permanent mold. We have been adding new processes such as 

a) GDC (Gravity Die Casting)
Gravity Die Casting is the process of pouring liquid metal using Earth’s Gravity and hence it’s name. This method started on our end based on our customer’s demand leading us to develop a very difficult casting weighing almost 70 Kg in Permanent Mold for a German Company. Very few foundries can design this size of casting much less make it export quality. We are proud to say that soon we designed another such casting thereby establishing our niche in higher weight category giving an undue advantage for people with quality requirements in heavy castings. 

b) Tilt Pour
In order to satisfy the demands of our customers from around the world as well as in the domestic market we developed the Tilt Pour technology providing, engineering as well as aesthetic parts. Due to our in house building of the machine we have significant control over machine. This helps to significantly improve the quality and speed of casting manufacturing as the functioning of the machine can be customized over several parameters. Final result – better lead times and consistent quality. 

c) LPDC (Low Pressure Die Casting). 
Our goal is to keep on adding newer technologies and keeping in line with this principle we added the LPDC technology to our belt. Often when X-ray quality castings, dynamic movement (high r.p.m) is a requirement or some other quality standards dictate the usage of LPDC. 

In terms of our production capacity we have 
Production Capacity: 2000 tons per year 
Melting Furnances: 2
Holding Furnance: 5

Different Types Of Casting To Suite Your Casting Necessity

There are different processes that can be used in creating complex shapes of metals parts and one procedure is through casting. Casting is a manufacturing method wherein a liquid material is transfer

red into a mold, usually following a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify afterwards. It has been used even in the past and one example or type of casting is die-casting.

The die casting method is a process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities similar to permanent mold casting. It best suites the purpose of making small to medium sized parts fashioned with good and precise details. By-products of this method are furnished with fine exterior finish and dimensional accurateness. Most materials used in this method are metals such as zinc die casting, copper, and aluminium die casting and magnesium die casting.

Another form of casting which is considered to be the most popular and simplest type is sand casting. It is a technique that has been used for many centuries now. Sand casting is a process of forming a mold out of a sand mixture through pouring a casting liquid into a desired shape. This type of casting allows manufacturers to create large number of products in such a small range of production expenses. Most metals are caste depending in the type of sand used for the molds in this method.

An additional process that can be also used is Plastic molding. It is a manufacturing technique in making parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials for production. It includes plastic injection molding wherein molten plastic is injected at high pressure into a mold, which is the opposite from the product’s actual shape. Example by-products of this method are bottle caps and outdoor furniture.

Moreover, a further technique is cold forming. It is also known as cold forging. Cold forming is a manufacturing procedure in which a metal is shaped at an ambient temperature to produce metal components in a definite shape. The techniques usually involved in this procedure are bending, cold drawing, cold heading, coining extrusion, thread rolling and others.

Some benefits of cold forming are enhancements in the component properties of the product because the grain structure of the material is being elongated during the formation process wherein it is forced to follow the structure and as a result its’ strength is increased. Another benefit of cold forming is that the aesthetic finish of the components gives out a brighter facade and formed with a consistent high tolerance. These somehow reduce the necessity of complex finishing and polishing.

These are only some of the different kinds of casting. Other types of casting aside from die-casting, cold forming and sand casting of metals are plaster casting, shell molding, investment casting, permanent mold casting, centrifugal casting, continuous casting and casting of plaster, concrete, or plastic resin. Each type of technique has specific and unique routine that allows you to produce superior outcome and high-quality by-products to best suite all your casting needs for your manufacturing use.

What Is Casting?

Metal casting is an ancient technique that has a variety of applications and purposes. Civilizations from the dawn of time to present day have used metal working as a way of creating artistic, religious, and practical items. The process of metal casting involves melting metals at high temperatures and using molds to then shape the metal into new items. The furnaces used in metal casting helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution, without which the course of history would be dramatically different. Metal casting is just one form of metal working that has seen a recent surge in popularity as resources are becoming more affordable and communities are springing up to share information, ideas, and projects.

There are three main forms of Casting Mold failure

1 thermal fatigue crack damage failure

Thermal fatigue cracking failure of die casting production, mold repeatedly stimulated cooling and heating effect, the molding surface and internal deformation are involved, and the repeated cycles of thermal stress, leading to tissue structure of two injury and loss of toughness, causing cracks appeared, and continue to expand, once a crack expanding, and molten metal liquid impact, coupled with repeated mechanical stress crack accelerated expansion. Therefore, on one hand casting mold must be fully preheat starting. In addition, in the production of the die casting die in must be kept in a certain temperature range, so as to avoid the early cracking. At the same time, to ensure the mold production and manufacturing of internal no problem. Because of the practical production, the majority of the ineffectiveness of the die thermal fatigue cracking.
