Disposable Core for 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...

Die Steels and Improved Productivity in Die Casting

Application of TPM indicators for analyzing work time of machines used in the pressure die casting

The article presents the application of total productive maintenance (TPM) to analyze the working time indicators of casting machines with particular emphasis on failures and unplanned downtime to reduce the proportion of emergency operation for preventive maintenance and diagnostics. The article presents that the influence of individual factors of complex machinery maintenance (TPM) is ...
