Hypoeutectic Silumin to Pressure Die Casting with Vanadium and Tungsten

The Most Common Foundry Errors of Pressure Die Castings Made from Hypoeutectic Silumin*

Primljeno (Received): 2011-11-07 Prihvaćeno (Accepted): 2012-03-15 Original scientific paper Abstract: Pressure die casting is the method used for forcing molten metal into mould cavities under high pressure and at high speed (10 100 m.s). Pressure die casting is a highly productive method of casting parts with low dimensions tolerance and high surface quality. From the point of view of product...

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...

Semisolid Processing of Al/β-SiC Composites by Mechanical Stirring Casting and High Pressure Die Casting

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...

High pressure die casting of Fe-based metallic glass

Soft ferromagnetic Fe-based bulk metallic glass key-shaped specimens with a maximum and minimum width of 25.4 and 5 mm, respectively, were successfully produced using a high pressure die casting (HPDC) method, The influence of die material, alloy temperature and flow rate on the microstructure, thermal stability and soft ferromagnetic properties has been studied. The results suggest that a stee...
