- Aluminum die casting is
a process where molten aluminum alloy is injected into a casting die
under high pressure and at a controlled temperature. The mold has two
sections, the “cover” half and the “ejector” half.
- Die casting is the
process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities
(which are machined into dies). Most die castings are made from
nonferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead,
and tin based alloys[1], but ferrous metal die castings are
possible.
- Die-casting is similar
to permanent mold casting except that the metal is injected into the
mold under high pressure of 10-210Mpa (1,450-30,500) psi. This results
in a more uniform part, generally good surface finish and good
dimensional accuracy, as good as 0.2 % of casting dimension.
- Casting liquid
aluminium alloys into metal moulds using processes such as gravity, low
pressure and high pressure die casting is a cost effective means of
producing complex shapes that require minimal machining.
- The most frequent
failures of aluminium alloys die-casting dies can generally be divided
into four basic groups 1 : heat checking, corner cracking, sharp radii
or sharp edges cracking, and cracking due to wear or erosion.
- Three different types
of gating design, finger, tangential and split type with 6 vertical
runners, were simulated and the results showed that sound thin-walled
die casting was possible with tangential and split type gating design
because those gates allowed aluminum melt to flow into the thin cavity
uniformly and split type gating system was preferable gating design
comparing to tangential type gating system at the point of view of
soundness of casting and distortion generated after solidification.
- BDW technologies was
the first die-caster to mass-produce large surface structural components
successfully, and has since remained the undisputed leader in this
sector.
- This versatile
technique is generally used for high-volume production & In the "low
pressure" sand casting technique, the melted metal is forced to enter
the mould by low pressure difference. This more complicated process
allows the production of cast products with thinner wall
thickness.
- Silicon-based aluminum
casting alloys are known to be one of the most widely used alloy systems
mainly due to their superior casting characteristics and unique
combination of mechanical and physical properties.
- The die casting
industry continues to be an important supplier to original
equipmentmanufacturers (OEMs) around the world.
Molten metal
processing is inherently energy intensive and roughly 25% of the cost of
die-cast products can be traced to some form of energy
consumption.
- The proper selection
and maintenance of melting and holding equipment are clearly important
factors in minimizing energy consumption in die-casting
operations.
