Aluminum die casting design

1.    There are a variety of casting methods to produce aluminum die casting and magnesium alloy casting, because of the low melting point of aluminum and magnesium alloy. So in the design of their structures, you should consider which kind of casting method to cast this casting at first, in order to consider the relative structural manufacturability.
2.    The aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy casting should try to use thin wall structure, and strive to the balance of wall thickness. This is helpful to prevent shrinkage cavity shrinking and improve the strength of the metal castings. But you can also thicken some part for the unbalance of wall thickness to set feeding aluminum and magnesium alloy casting. This can help filling shrinkage to guarantee the quality.
3.    The aluminum and the magnesium alloy is easy for oxidation and suction. The density is small, so as to make the static pressure of the metal fluid is small and be difficult to exhaust. Therefore, aluminum and magnesium alloy casting is easy to generate hole and oxidation slag, reduce the mechanical properties and gas tightness. So designing the casting structure should avoid big plane, and the transition should be gentle, and avoid causing the turbulence of metal liquid.
4.    Because of the low melting point of the aluminum and the magnesium alloy, to those castings that have some certain gas tightness requirements, you should avoid using core support to fixed core when design.
5.    The compression strength of magnesium alloy is higher than its tensile strength. So you should adopt asymmetrical section and box to undertake the compressive stress.
6.    Pay attention to adopting the method of double metal die casting and potting casting to solve the problems in the structural design of the aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy.
7.    The corrosion resistant of magnesium alloy is poor. Often use surface treatment to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy castings.

Die Casting Process

The characteristic of die casting

Pressure casting or casting, is a molten gold poured into the pressure chamber, to the high speed filling steel mold cavity, and the alloy liquid under pressure solidification and casting method. Die casting is distinguished from other casting method is mainly characterized by the high pressure and high speed. Metal liquid is under pressure to fill the cavity, and at higher pressure solidification under common pressure, 15 to 100MPa. The liquid metal to the high speed filling cavity, usually in the 10 – 50 meters / second, some still can exceed 80 m / s, ( through the gate into the cavity of the line speed gate speed ), thus the filling time is very short, about 0.01 – 0.2 seconds ( must be considered casting size different ) can fill the cavity. Die casting machine, die casting alloy and die casting is a casting production of the three elements, are indispensable. Read more

Alloy Die Casting

Aluminum Alloy Die Casting Alloy 380 is the most common of the aluminum die casting alloys. It offers the best combination of casting and product properties. It is used for a wide variety of products such as garden equipment, chassis for electronic equipment, engine brackets, housings for automotive alternators, starters and water pumps, home appliances, furniture, office eqipment hand tools and power tools. Alloys 383 and 384 are alternatives to 380 that are specified when very intricate components require improved die filling characteristics and improved resistance to hot cracking. Alloy 360 offers high corrosion resistance and superior strength at elevated temperatures than 380. Other properties are essentially equivalent. Alloy 413 offers the best die fill characteristics making it Read more

Aluminum Die Casting

Aluminum Die Casting Description:
Aluminum Die Casting, Die casting is similar to Permanent mold castings except that the metal is injected into the mold under high pressure of 10-210Mpa (1,450-30,500) psi . This results in a more uniform part, generally good surface finish and good dimensional accuracy, as good as 0.2 % of casting dimension. For many parts, post-machining can be totally eliminated, or very light machining may be required to bring dimensions to size. die casting,aluminum casting can be done using a cold chamber or hot chamber process.

Die casting alloy

Die casting alloy

Die casting the alloy is mainly nonferrous alloys, as black metal ( steel, iron ) as the mold materials, being less frequently used. And non-ferrous alloy die casting with aluminum alloy is used widely, the zinc alloy. To briefly introduce the situation of die casting non-ferrous metals.

( 1), die casting non-ferrous alloy classification hindered contraction of mixed shrinkage free shrinkage of lead alloy – the 0.2-0.3% 0.3-0.4% 0.4-0.5% of low melting point alloy tin alloy zinc alloy — 0.3-0.4% 0.4-0.6% 0.6-0.8% — 0.3-0.5% 0.5-0.7% 0.7-0.9% aluminum silicon casting non-ferrous alloy aluminum alloy alcu aluminium-magnesium system – 0.5-0.7% 0.7-0.9% 0.9-1.1% high melting point alloy aluminum zinc magnesium alloy – 0.5-0.7% 0.7-0.9% 0.9-1.1% copper alloy Read more
