Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).<\/li>\n<li>Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.<\/li>\n<li>Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.<\/li>\n<li>Aluminum hardware brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.<\/li>\n<li>Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.<\/li>\n<li>Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.<\/li>\n<li>Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.<\/li>\n<li>Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.<\/li>\n<li>Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.<\/li>\n<li>One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.<\/li>\n<li>Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are looking for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cast-parts.com\/diecasting_parts.html\" title=\"Die Casting Parts\" target=\"_blank\">Die Casting Parts<\/a> look at this website.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cast-parts.com\/castings\/\" title=\"Die Castings Blog\">Die Castings Blog<\/a> gives information on how to get a Aluminum Die Castings and Zinc Die Castings.
