Aircraft or better known as Airplanes are large, very large. They are large because they are designed to carry things, lots of things. Airplanes carry mail, gifts, shipments, food, packages, baggage, and people. Airplanes are the fastest transportation for “things” and people today. Airplanes are fast because they travel through the air. Because airplanes are big and travel through the air, airplane construction materials need to lightweight and strong. Aluminum is used for most airplane components because it is lightweight and strong. The overall airplane part weight is kept down so the airplane will be able to carry more “things”. Therefore, aluminum is used a lot.
Die casting is the preferred manufacturing process for making Aluminum Aircraft Parts. The reason is that the aluminum die casting process has a lot of advantages over other high-volume aircraft part manufacturing processes.
Aluminum Aircraft Parts Produced as Die Castings:
Die Casting is less expensive because more than 500 or 1,000 parts can be produced each day.
Die Casting hold tolerance typically to +/- 0.002″ after the die casting tool is approved.
Aluminum weighs 1/3 by volume of a similar part in steel.
Aluminum die casting parts are very strong.
Die Castings are produced near “net shape”, reducing additional manufacturing costs.
Die Casting Tooling reliably manufactures parts repeatably over several thousand parts.
Aluminum die castings do not break down over time as other materials break down.
Aluminum die castings have an aesthetically pleasing surface finish.
Die Casting parts look good after paint or polish.

The Advantages of Aluminum Chassis Castings Over Steel. High pressure die casting is the process used to make aluminum die cast parts and chassis castings. This process is now becoming more and more popular in several major manufacturing industries because of its many advantages.
Aluminum is a great metal to work with. Unlike other metals, it has plenty of strengths. The metal can be found almost everywhere in the planet. Supply will not run out, so it is easy to acquire and not heavy on your pockets.
Faster production rate. In fact, production quantities can be done within a few days instead of several weeks!
Fewer failures and returns to the OEM
Weight is lighter by two and a half times for lesser shipping costs
Less finishing costs
Raw parts manufacturing costs are much less
Better looking parts
You can produce aluminum die casts according to your preference and specifications, such as the trim, clean, machine, inspect, powder coat and the package of your aluminum cast parts.
All in all, the use of aluminum castings over still helps you reduce weight, boost strength, and save you more money.
How many parts can we make a day? 500 Die Casting Parts a Day.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes many types of die casting parts. In most cases we make a part a minute. The larger or heavier a die casting part, the slower the production rate. Some of these parts are large roof tile mold castings that are 17″ long.
Aluminum Roof Tile Mold
These roof tile molds are produced one part every two or three minutes or about 250 parts a day in a single shift.
Some of these parts are small clips used in lighting fixtures that are only 1/8″ long. In one case, we make over 3,000 water pump housings in a single day.
Water Pump Housing
Some of our customers order fewer than 500 parts so we produce their purchase order in a single day. Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company to purchase your aluminum parts or zinc parts today. Buy thousands or fewer than 100 parts. Call 818-982-9200.
The Uses of Aluminum Lighting Fixtures. Aluminum lighting fixture parts are electrical devices mainly used for creating artificial light and illumination for homes and buildings. They are used either for indoor or outdoor lighting fixtures. Before the invention of aluminum die casting, lighting fixtures are created through welding techniques, making the system expensive and time consuming. Now, the science of aluminum die casting makes the process easier and a whole lot faster.
Usually, Aluminum lighting fixture parts consist of: a light source (lamp), a light reflector, an aperture (with or without lens), an outer shell or housing for alignment and protection, an electric ballast and connection to a power source. They are often used at the automotive lighting industry, marine lighting, medical lighting and aerospace lighting.
Furthermore, Aluminum lighting fixture parts are lightweight, durable and long lasting, making them ideal for several uses. They are often used to strengthen construction both on the inside and outside many establishments. They allow easier construction for different lighting techniques. This makes them very versatile, and can be used for many purposes: medical offices, parking garage lighting, bullet lights, street traffic lights, walk lights, outdoor coach light fixtures and high temperature light fixtures. They are also available in a wide array of shapes and sizes, ensuring better output and production of different lighting systems.
