Mesh resolution consideration for the viability prediction of lost salt cores in the high pressure die casting process

B. Fuchs and C. KörnerPublished Online:February 10, 2014pp 24-30 Abstract High pressure die casting is limited in its geometry since a lost core technology as with sand or low pressure casting is not state-of-the art. Using lost cores made from sodium chloride may be a solution for high pressure die casting. Due to the high dynamical forces
