Die casting of magnesium

Aluminium Foam and Magnesium Compound Casting Produced by High-Pressure Die Casting

Nowadays, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are two of the main focal points in vehicle design, promoting the reduction in the weight of vehicles by using lighter materials. The aim of the work is to evaluate the influence of different aluminium foams and injection parameters in order to obtain compound castings with a compromise between the obtained properties and weight by high-pr...

Die Steels and Improved Productivity in Die Casting

Computer-Aided System for Multi-Cavity Die-Casting Die-Design

Die-design for the die-casting process is a time consuming and complex activity that requires domain knowledge and vast experience of the die-designer besides information about manufacturing resources, part geometry, delivery time and cost preferences, etc. Complexity of the die-design activity further increases in case of a multi-cavity die. Currently available die-design systems lack in the l...

Materials on Dies for Pressure Die Casting

In the contribution the stress of die materials of thermal fatigue is defi ned and material life is derived theoretically and compared with the measured values. The important properties of the die materials as thermal conductivity, coeffi cient of thermal expansivity, modulus of elasticity and mechanical properties are described. Binding to it single die materials as carbon steels and chrome-tu...
