Early Challenges and Developments in Zinc Die Casting
نویسنده
چکیده
Since zinc die casting’s conception over 100 years ago, many new and improved developments have taken place to progress the industry and offer component designers a costeffective alternative to higher priced alloys and processes. The zinc industry has continued to develop new alloys in response to some of the challenges that face it. One such development is EZACTM, Eastern Alloys’ high strength, creep resistant alloy. Now component designers can incorporate the economical advantages of zinc die casting for designs requiring higher strength, hardness and creep performance.

Study 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...

متن کاملLow Cost, High Performance, High Volume Heatsinks
Higher-powered electronics are being integrated into automobiles rapidly. With these electronics comes a problem of how to cool this equipment economically. Heatsink costs have not benefited nor adapted to the high volume nature of automotive electronics. Specially shaped heatsinks are much more efficient for a given size than aluminum extrusion-based ones, most prevalent used in automobiles. H...
متن کاملThe effect of injection parameters on dimensional accuracy of wax patterns for investment casting
Thermal expansion and hot deformation are two phenomena causing dimensional errors in investment casting. This error occurs in dimensions between the die and wax pattern. Therefore, the wax's thermo-physical and thermo-mechanical properties, the metal die features, and the process parameters affect the dimensions of the wax pattern. Some important effective process parameters are the injection ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Metallothionein Gene Expression in Peripheral Lymphocytes and Blood Cadmium Level among Die Casting Male Workers
Cadmium were found in the die casting factory as by product of zinc alloy that used in the manufacturing of die cast. Metallothionein (MT) a carrier protein plays an important role in the detoxification process of cadmium in human. The usefulness of MT gene expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) as a biomarker of cadmium exposure and susceptibility could be determine by reverse trans...
