A study of an industrial counter pressure casting process for automotive parts

1. Overview: 2. Abstract: Counter pressure casting (CPC) is emerging in the automotive manufacturing industry as an alternative to low-pressure die casting (LPDC) due to its reported superior capabilities in aluminum parts production. This study presents the first comprehensive investigation of how CPC’s characteristic feature (applied chamber pressure) influences the fluid flow and heat transport
