(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 10, 2013 ) GuangDong, China -- Manufacturing is more complex today than ever before and it’s important for companies to understand the processes in order to make the right decision on outsourced manufacturing partners.
China-based manufacturing firm, P&A International is helping its customers understand the fundamentals of the manufacturing processes at http://www.pa-international.com.
“In order to optimise their manufacturing costs and make the right decision, it’s critical companies understand the processes they are outsourcing,” said the spokesperson.
“Many people don’t understand the major differences between designing for die castings and designing for other processes, the different die casting technology available, or the importance of the physical properties of aluminium in aluminium diecasting.”
Die-casting is a custom manufacturing process that produces engineered metal parts by injecting molten metal under very high pressure into reusable molds, called dies, made from premium tool steel. The dies can be designed to cast very complex shapes and sharply defined product features with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability, often with no post-casting machining required to meet part specifications.
Die Casting China company, P&A International demonstrates that unusually smooth surfaces can be produced as-cast, as well as a variety of textured surfaces. Die castings are suitable for a range of cosmetic finishes to match other mated parts or add extra durability in use. Advanced high-pressure diecasting, with some machines operating at die clamping forces exceeding 4500 pounds per square inch, is capable of producing net- or near-net-shape castings of high integrity and dimensional precision at very high cycle speeds.
A range of metals can be die cast, but the majority of die castings are non-ferrous parts in aluminum, magnesium and zinc. A complete die-casting cycle can vary from less than one second for small components weighing less than an ounce, to no more than two to three minutes for a casting of several pounds.
P&A International spokesperson says that to achieve maximum benefits from this process and achieve the best custom die casting result, it is critical that designers collaborate with the die caster maker at an early stage of the product design and development.
“Consulting with the die caster during the design phase will help to prevent the issues affecting tooling and production, while identifying the various trade-offs that could affect overall costs,” said the spokesperson.
“The process advantages make Die casting the most efficient technology available for producing a wide range of commercial, industrial and consumer products in durable, rigid metal. By better understanding the process, companies can optimize their manufacturing process to positively impact quality and significantly lower costs.”
