Latest Advancements in Modelling and Simulation for High Pressure Die Castings
Innovations and modifications in the techniques of high pressure die casting or tooling are forced by trends in part design, part load as well as by costs and times for development and manufacturing processes. All current trends require continuous improvement in planning of part performance and production processes. The quality of parts and ...
Prediction of distortion in thin-walled die castings
With the production of thin-walled, complex structural components made of aluminium and magnesium alloys, the foundry industry has succeeded in substituting many classical sheet metal components by castings. These structural components do not only feature complex geometries but also superior strength and ductility properties, which make for a ...
Automatic computerized optimization in die casting processes
The simulation of die filling and solidification processes was first applied in foundries more than 20 years ago. Although casting simulation is still a young technology, it has gained wide acceptance. More than 150 foundries in Germany use simulation programs. In addition to larger foundries and direct automotive suppliers, simulation has beco...
Two for One – transferring proven filling characteristics from a single to a two cavity die casting die
The demands on the productivity and robustness on the high pressure die casting process for high quality components are continuously rising. At the same time, financial considerations mean that an exact and reliable planning of the die layout and production process is required.
Using Stress Simulation to tackle Distortion and Cracking in Castings
The use of stress simulation in casting design and manufacturer has found wide spread use in not only the automotive industry but also more general engineering castings. The development of light-weight body structures in the automotive industry has lead to a new generation of large thin walled complex aluminium and magnesium castings with demand...
