Read more Delivering at the Speed of Light & Overcoming Big Obstacles In the world of aluminum die casting, tiny tweaks and small changes are all in a day’s work. Add an engineering change here, a quality inspection there. After all, one of the most-touted benefits of die casting is fast production rates and speeds. Under normal circumstances, that’s true. What happens, though, when things aren’t so normal? What happens when there’s a change in unit forecasting and zero units in stock? What happens when the primary overseas supplier is unable to deliver?

Different companies are going down their unique paths. Companies, large and small, as well as many start-ups, are engaged in Battery technologies, motor technologies, and transmissions. There is a lot of work being done in hydrogen fuel, fuel cell, and other technologies. Published 2/17/21 Read more Mold-Tooling Core Pin Designs The key to a successful die casting is an excellent tool design. One of the hardest components to design and maintain for good tool life is a core pin. A “core” is the separate and replaceable part of the die that forms an internal feature of the casting. Core pins come in all shapes and sizes, but the most commonly used shape design is circular. Core pins may be fixed to the die cavity or to a slide, actuated through the mechanical opening/closing of the die, or by hydraulic cylinder or other means. While core pins are the backbone of good tool design, when not properly designed, it can result in severe downtime and inefficient productivity.
