SLM tooling for die casting with conformal cooling channels

Automatic design of conformal cooling circuits for rapid tooling

This paper presents an automatic method for designing conformal cooling circuit, which is an essential component that directly affects the quality and timing for the products fabricated by rapid tooling. To reduce the time of cooling and control the uniformity of temperature and volumetric shrinkage, industry expects to have cooling channels that are conformal to the shape of products. We achie...

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...
