Die Casting Process

AZ91D magnesium alloy used as the automotive cooling system’s pump impeller material, using the finite element analysis software ProCAST to numerical simulation for the temperature field and the flow field of die-casting process, analyzed the defects causes of magnesium alloy die-casting, and then determined the gating system. Based on the results of numerical simulation analysis, the design of ingate of the gating system set on central department is reasonable. It's benefit for smooth filling of liquid metal and uniforming the temperature field distribution, so as to reduce casting porosity, cold shut and shrinkage defects.

Die Casting Process

It is obvious that automotive industry worldwide is predicting significant growth in the use of magnesium alloys for weight reduction to decrease fuel consumption and emission. About a half decade ago, the price of magnesium alloys was more than twice that of aluminum alloys on a weight basis. Currently, magnesium alloys cost about one and a half times that of aluminum alloys on a weight basis, and thus the price of magnesium alloys is the same as or lower than that of aluminum alloys on a per volume basis. However, in considering the performance of magnesium components (not their specific mechanical properties) and recycling aspect of magnesium alloys, it is required to realize niche applications of magnesium alloys, which meet the cost requirement on performance basis and/or offer more than weight reduction. There are many other factors that make magnesium a good choice: component consolidation, improved safety for driver and passengers, and improved noise vibration and harshness (NVH), to name a few. As one of these efforts to adopt magnesium alloys in automotive component, this paper describes the research strategy of cold chamber type 2-cavity die casting of AM50 magnesium alloy for developing the steering column lock housing module with emphasis on cost driving factors and necessities for cost reduction, explaining why AM50 magnesium alloy is chosen with design and die casting process optimization.

According to semi-solid slurry rheological behavior, an apparent viscosity model of A356 alloy developed based on the Carreau model was established to simulate filling process of rheo-diecasting about automobile shock absorber parts and to compare with conventional liquid filling process. Numerical simulation results showed that the filling process of rheo-diecasting was smooth but difficult to splash, which reduced the tendency of the alloy oxidation and inclusion. Meanwhile, a certain percentage of the primary solid particles precipitated before filling and solidification shrinkage of semi-solid slurry were small. This benefited to reduce or eliminate shrinkage defects of the castings. Compared with conventional liquid die casting process, rheo-diecasting process had unique advantages in reducing the internal defects and improving mechanical properties of castings.

Pressure Die Casting

The technology of computer numerical simulation on casting process is an important frontal field of material science and technology. The numerical simulations of camera shell in the pressure die casting process were carried out. The distributions of temperature and solidification time in the filling process were obtained. Based on the simulated results and the Niyama criterion G/ R , the positions of slack were predicted, which were agreement with the practical result. Consequently, an improved scheme was presented, in which the workpiece defects were obviously reduced. So it’s significant for the application of numerical simulation on improving the quality of the casting, shortening the period of producing, reducing the cost and guiding the engineer for taking reasonable method to optimize the technological design.

Filling and solidification for aluminum alloy packing block in die casting were simulated by numerical simulation. Distribution and change of temperature field as well as velocity field were visualized. The desirable processing parameters can be obtained with pouring temperature of 620°C and mould temperature of 180°C as well as shot velocity of 4m/s. The qualified products were obtained on the basis of the optimized die-casting parameters.
