How to Prevent Porosity in Casting Using Squeeze Casting Process
Porosity is a common defect in die castings. Gas porosity and shrinkage porosity are mainly two types of porosity in casting. Squeeze casting is a powerful manufacturing technique that effectively prevents porosity in castings. The combination of pressure and heat during solidification leads to denser and more reliable components. The specially designed feeding method along […]
Squeeze Casting VS High Pressure Die Casting-2 Advantages of Squeeze Casting Process Over High Pressure Die Casting
Squeeze casting has many advantages over high-pressure die casting(HPDC). Here we are discussing indirect aluminum squeeze casting, a process much closer to aluminum high-pressure die casting. Alum squeeze casting can effectively avoid die casting defects and get high-property casting products. Squeeze Casting Advantages 1—Higher Mechanical Strength Alum squeeze casting products have a higher mechanical […]
What Are the Defects of the Aluminum Die Casting Process?
The aluminum die casting process is the most popular way to make castings because it works well to produce a large number of castings. Unfortunately, parameters and non-standard operations can cause many kinds of defects.Here, we will discuss the different aluminum die casting defects causes and solutions.Internal and superficial are the two categories of aluminum die casting defects.
Common Surface Treatment Methods of Aluminum Alloy Die Castings
For aluminum alloy die casting parts, there are lots of surface treatment methods, below are some common methods: 1. Powder Spraying (Powder Coating) Powder spraying is to spray powder coating on the surface of the workpiece with powder spraying equipment. Under the action of static electricity, the powder will be uniformly adsorbed on the […]
Common Used Die Casting Aluminum Alloys
Common used die-casting aluminum alloys are mainly divided into three categories: Al-Si Alloy: YL102/ A413/305/ADC1/ALSI12 Al-Si-Cu Alloy: YL112/A380/306/ADC10/ALSI8CU3, YL113/A383/383/ADC12 Al-Si-Mg Alloy: YL101/A360/309/ADC3/ALSI10MG For aluminum-silicon alloys and aluminum-silicon-copper alloys, under normal circumstances, the silicon content is between 6% and 12%, which mainly improves the fluidity of the alloy; the copper content is second, which mainly enhances […]
Casting Classification
There are many process methods for making metal materials into desired products, such as casting, forging, extrusion, rolling, drawing, stamping, cutting, powder metallurgy, and so on. Among them, casting is the most basic, most commonly used, and the most extensive process. The molten metal is poured into a hollow mold made of high-temperature resistant materials, […]
Learn More About Plstic Thermoforming
Blister products are processed with plastic. The production principle of the product is to heat and soften the flat plastic hard sheet material, then adsorb it on the surface of the mold with a vacuum, and then cool it to form. Blister products are widely used. It is mainly used in electronics and electrical appliances. […]
The Role of the Main Elements of Die Casting Aluminum Alloy
Si Element The Si content of cast aluminum is mainly concentrated at 5%-11%, and the elongation of hypereutectic aluminum alloys exceeding 11% is greatly reduced, which is not suitable for die-casting aluminum. As far as elongation is concerned, the Si% content decreases greatly from the range of 0-3%; then it tends to ease until 11% […]
The 4 Steps to Ensuring an Effective High Pressure Die Casting
High-pressure die casting is also known as HPDC or traditional die casting. This is a unique metal casting process where molten metals like zinc, Steel, Aluminum, Lead, Copper, etc., are injected into properly created three-dimensional cavities or mold. The metal we plan on using is first melted down using extreme heat and made sure that […]
