A feasibility study of the partial squeeze and vacuum die casting process

چکیده
A feasibility study of the partial squeeze and vacuum die casting process was performed to make defect-free casting products with excellent mechanical properties. The trial die casting process in this study was industrially implemented for producing a reaction shaft support made of a hyper eutectic Al±15%Si alloy. To combine the squeezing and vacuum effect, the plunger injection system was designed and attached to a chill vent type vacuum machinery system. The combination of the vacuum effect before injection and the squeezing effect after injection resulted in excellent defect-free die casting products. The uniform distribution of ®ne acicular eutectic and proeutectic silicon obtained from the trial process also provided excellent mechanical properties. # 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

Enhancing Wear Resistance of Squeeze Cast AC2A Aluminum Alloy
The effect of squeeze casting process parameters on wear behavior of AC2A aluminium alloy was primarily investigated in this experimental study. Five process parameters, namely squeeze pressure, pouring temperature, die temperature, die material and compression time, each at four levels were chosen and sixteen experimental runs based on L16 orthogonal array were performed. From analysis of vari...
متن کاملModern High Pressure Die-casting Processes for Aluminium Castings
There are about 33 processes commercially available for the production of aluminium castings. About 70% of the castings are produced using conventional high-pressure die-casting process. It’s main drawbacks are 1) Air and gas blow holes 2) Unable to weld 3) unable to heat treat to enhance mechanical properties. To overcome these, many modern processes have been invented. A few of them are 1) Hi...
متن کاملA TRANSIENT TWO-DIMENTIONAL INVERSE ESTIMATION OF THE METAL-MOLD HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT DURING SQUEEZE CASTING of AL-4.5WT%CU
In this paper, a transient, two-dimensional and nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem in solidification process is considered. Genetic algorithm is applied for the identification of the interfacial heat transfer coefficients during squeeze casting of commercial aluminum alloy (Al-4.5wt%Cu) by assuming a priori information regarding the functional form of the unknown heat transfer coefficien...
متن کاملStudy of multilayer and multi-component coatings deposited using cathodic Arc technique on H-13 hot work steel for die-casting applications
Die casting process is used since long, but even today problems like erosion, corrosion, soldering and sticking affect die life. These dies undergo thermal cyclic loads from 70 oC to 600 oC during processing. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) hard coating can play an important role in such extreme applications. In the present work, we report the use of Chromium based multila...
