Die casting design is a process used to manufacture metal parts with precise dimensions and complex shapes.
Die casting design need consider many factors. It includes the parting surface of the mold, the gate system, the cooling system, and the core pulling structure. These design factors have an important impact on the casting quality. The details are as below:
1. Die casting design of molds
The design of die casting mold usually requires a combination of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) technologies. Through these professional software to optimize mold’s structure and process parameters.
For example, finite element analysis (FEM) can be used to evaluate the deformation and stress. That may occur during the use of the mold, thereby improving the mold design.
2. Design mold cooling system
The cooling system design of the mold is particularly important. Because it directly affects the cooling speed and quality of the casting.
The location and layout of the cooling channels need to be carefully calculated and optimized. Thus to ensure uniform temperature distribution in the mold, reduce stress concentration and casting defects.
3. design gates and runners
In addition, the gates and runners are also a key parts of die casting .
Reasonable gate position and runner design can effectively control the flow path of molten metal, and reduce the generation of pores and other defects. In modern die casting, automation and modular methods are being widely used to improve die casting efficiency and reduce trial and error costs.
Haichen die casting machine
Haichen is one Chinese die casting machine for more than 10years. We produce both high pressure cold chamber die casting machine and hot chamber die casting machine.They have durable and highly precise features. Haichen also produce die casting machine auxiliary equipment. Such as conveyor, vacuum machine, mold temperature controller, industrial robot, sprayer and so on.
Die casting design is a complex and multidisciplinary process that requires comprehensive consideration of knowledge from multiple fields such as materials science, mechanical engineering, thermodynamics and computer simulation to achieve efficient and high-quality production goals.
