Use Of High Temperature Die Material & Hot Dies For High Pressure Die Casting Pure Copper & Copper Alloys

Abstract Little use has been made of pressure die casting for the manufacture of copper or copper alloy parts due in large part to poor economics resulting from short die life in casting these high melting metals. A research program initiated in 1997 was driven by the promise of a signifi cant increase in the

Strength of Salt Core Composed of Alkali Carbonate and Alkali Chloride Mixtures Made by Casting Technique

Jun Yaokawa, Daisuke Miura, Koichi Anzai, Youji Yamada, Hiroshi Yoshii Abstract The strength of four binary systems NaCl–Na2CO3, KCl–K2CO3, KCl–NaCl and K2CO3–Na2CO3 was investigated in order to develop expendable salt core for high pressure die casting processes. Four point bending test was conducted to determine the strength of specimens made from molten salts by using the permanent mold casting technique.

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

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

Properties Optimization and Strengthening Mechanism of KNO3–KCl Water-Soluble Composite Salt Core for Hollow Zinc Alloy Die Castings

Xiaolong Gong,  Fuchu Liu,  Xinwang Liu,  Wenming Jiang &  Zitian Fan  International Journal of Metalcasting (2022)Cite this article Abstract A composite inorganic salt core with good water solubility and formability was proposed using potassium nitrate (KNO3) and potassium chloride (KCl) as base materials. The KNO3–KCl molar ratio has been optimized for the KNO3–KCl composite salt core, and

Advances in Technology of Soluble Cores for Die Castings

AUTHORS P. Jelínek1, E. Adámková1, F. Mikšovský1, J. Beňo1 ABSTRACT A number of technologies is developed that substitute simple metal cores in the high-pressure casting technology. Soluble cores, namely on the salt basis, represent the highest prospect. The contribution gives the results of the production of salt cores by high-pressure squeezing and shooting with using a binder. Special attention
