This paper focuses on the determination of the heat flow density (HFD) and interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) during the high pressure die casting (HPDC) process of AM50 alloy. A specially designed “step shape” casting is used during the die casting experiment. Based on the temperature measurements inside the die, HFD and IHTC are successfully determined. Calculation results indicate that HFD and IHTC at the metal-die interface increases sharply right after the fast injection process until approaching their maximum values, and after that their values decrease to a much lower level until the dies are opened. Casting thickness has a great influence on both of the HFD and IHTC. Process parameters, such as the intensification pressure, the piston velocity, have little influences on HFD while on the other hand the die temperature has a great influence on the HFD. The IHTC seems to be independent upon all those process parameters so the IHTC peak values maintain at a particular level when the casting thickness is fixed.

During the casting process of green sand mold, air gaps will form between the metal and sand mold. The air gaps will make it difficult to analyze the heat transfer at the mold/metal interface. Generally, an interfacial heat transfer coefficient is employed to evaluate the heat flux transferred across the air gaps. Though the interfacial heat transfer coefficient is highly important, its value is not easily obtained by using the direct experimental or theoretical method. With temperature-measured data, some inverse methods can be used to predict the coefficient. However, the latent heat released and undercooling during the solidification of the molten metal and the moisture of the green sand mold complicate the associated temperature calculations. To overcome this difficulty, a lump capacitance method is proposed in this study to calculate the interfacial heat transfer coefficient for the casting process in green sand mold. Thermalcouples are utilized to measure the temperatures of sand mold and metal. The geometry of casting is cylindrical and the castings are A356 alloy and Sn-20 wt. % Pb alloy. With the predicted interfacial coefficients, the temperature field of the metal was solved numerically. Based on the solidification time, the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. This verified the feasibility of the proposed method and it can be applied in the future study or design of a casting process.
