INNOVATIVE COOLING SOLUTIONS OF HPDC TECHNOLOGY

This introductory paper is the research content of the paper [“INNOVATIVE COOLING SOLUTIONS OF HPDC TECHNOLOGY”] published by [Multidiszciplináris Tudományok]. 1. Overview: 2. Abstract In High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), the so-called sliders are moving components of the mould, that can form cavities, holes, and undercuts. Sliders differ greatly from fixed- and moving mould halves

Conformal cooling as a support tool for eliminating local defects in high-pressure die casting series production

Conformal cooling as a support tool for eliminating local defects in high-pressure die casting series production

Vladislav Andronov, Zdeněk Pitrmuc, Jan Zajíc, Pavel Šotka, Libor Beránek & Martin Bock  Abstract This study addresses a critical issue in mass-producing gearbox housing MQ200GA at Škoda Auto a.s. The combination of SW ProCAST simulations and metal 3D printing (laser powder bed fusion—L-PBF) overcomes challenges posed by full mold printing. Instead, the authors adapt the conformal cooling design, introducing specific channel
