This chapter presents the application of a neural network to the industrial process modeling of high-pressure die casting (HPDC). The large number of inter- and intradependent process parameters makes it difficult to obtain an accurate physical model of the HPDC process that is paramount to understanding the effects of process parameters on casting defects such as porosity. The first stage of the work was to obtain an accurate model of the die-casting process using a feed-forward multilayer perceptron (MLP) from the process condition monitoring data. The second stage of the work was to find out the effect of different process parameters on the level of porosity in castings by performing sensitivity analysis. The results obtained are in agreement with the current knowledge of the effects of different process parameters on porosity defects, demonstrating the ability of the MLP to model the die-casting process accurately.

Pressure Die Casting

In spite of die castings being amongst the highest volume items manufactured by the metalworking industry, the influence of high pressure die casting (HPDC) process parameters on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remains largely unreported. In this article, the authors discuss the effect of some HPDC process parameters on GHG emissions using cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) for both aluminium and magnesium alloys. Although the impacts reduced with increasing yields in both cases, it was determined that the GHG impact of magnesium alloy HPDC was more sensitive to HPDC yield irrespective of the ratio of primary/secondary alloys in the melt charge. The reasons for this include a greater dependence of magnesium alloy HPDC on high-emitting primary processing and the use of the highly potent GHG SF6 for melting. For magnesium alloy HPDC, a decrease in quality assurance (QA) rejects and cycle times also reduced GHG emissions, although their influences were found to be an order lower than that of yield.

In recent years, high-pressure die-casting magnesium components have been gaining currency worldwide because of the excellent properties that magnesium alloys can offer to meet new product requirements. With the increasing application of magnesium parts worldwide, many research and development projects have been carried out to advance HPDC technology. However, truly optimized mold design and production of defect free castings remains a challenge for die casters. For many HPDC magnesium products, especially those specified for porosity-free and high cosmetic requirement, the challenge not only comes form a lack of a deeper understanding of how molten magnesium alloys fill the mold cavity and form defects, but also from improper preliminary part design. This study proposes a virtual prototyping system that integrates several effective soft and hardware tools for both the part and mold-design engineer to evaluate part manufacturability. Also, investigated in this study are the major causes of those defects that are the predominant cause of rejection of thin walled, leak-free magnesium parts requiring highly cosmetic finishes.

Semisolid Casting

Today, tool life in high pressure die casting (HPDC) is of growing interest. A common agreement is that die life is primarily decided by the thermal load and temperature gradients in the die materials. Conformal cooling with the growth of additive manufacturing has raised interest as a means of extending die life. In the current paper, conformal cooling channels’ performance and effect on the thermal cycle in high-pressure die casting and rheocasting are investigated for conventional HPDC and semisolid processing. It was found that conformal cooling aids die temperature reduction, and the use of die spray may be reduced and support the die-life extension. For the die filling, the increased temperature was possibly counterproductive. Instead, it was found that the main focus for conformal cooling should be focused to manage temperature around the in-let bushing and possibly the runner system. Due to the possible higher inlet pressures for semisolid casting, particular benefits could be seen.
