Title: Advances in Technology of Soluble Cores for Die Castings – Core Research Objective: To develop and analyze new soluble core technologies, particularly salt cores, as a replacement for conventional metal cores in high-pressure die casting. The research aims to determine the factors affecting the properties (strength, porosity, solubility) of salt cores—including the type of salt, binder
Aluminum high-pressure die casting is a widely used manufacturing process known for its high efficiency and precision. However, producing parts with undercut shapes—features that interfere with the mold opening direction—poses significant challenges. Traditional solutions, such as slide cores or multi-part molds, increase complexity, costs, and limit design flexibility. Application of Salt Core Technology for Undercut

Jingkai Zhang1, Yang Li1, Lai Song1, Weihua Liu1 & Xue Zou1 Abstract This study analyzes the effects of different pouring temperatures and mold temperatures on the crack behavior of NaCl–Na2SO4 composite water-soluble salt cores (WSSC). Firstly, calculate the solid fraction during the solidification process of the salt core using the Newton baseline method. Then predict the sensitivity of the salt core
Jessica Barabasch,Joyce Schmatz,Jop Klaver,Alexander Schwedt,and Janos L. Urai Abstract Constitutive laws to predict long-term deformation of solution-mined caverns and radioactive-waste repositories in rock salt play an important role in the energy transition. Much of this deformation is at differential stresses of a few megapascals, while the vast majority of laboratory measurements are at much higher differential
Katsunari Oikawa, Kazuhiro Sakakibara, Youji Yamada, Koichi Anzai Abstract The NaCl–Na2CO3 salt mixture is proposed as a water-soluble core material for aluminum die-casting processes. The mechanical properties and microstructures of NaCl–Na2CO3 samples prepared by gravity casting were investigated. The salt mixtures had superior properties compared to those of the pure salts. Plastic deformation occurred during compression tests at high temperatures
