This paper presents the design and simulation on investment casting mold for metal matrix composite material. The study was investigating the design parameters for the casting mold and simulated the temperature and pressure on the mold. Compressor impeller selected as the product of the study. Among the various types of casting techniques, investment casting process is the most suitable process to produce the compressor impeller. The alternative design of casting mold of investment casting was generated using CAD software. Concept scoring was prepared to select the suitable design for the investment casting process. Material selection of compressor is Aluminum Silicon Carbide. Stainless steel AISI H13 is selected as the material for the mold. The parameter for the mold design is included branch, gating, sprue and runner. The analysis was presented to the mold by using ANSYS simulation tool to determine the temperature and pressure of the mold. In addition, three case studies were presented and compared the static pressure in different velocity and temperature of the mold design. The result showed the runner and the branch size were important to produce the molten metal flow into the mold pattern. As a result, the design of investment casting mold was proposed.

Additive manufacturing is a technology that is influencing every facet of manufacturing such as casting. 3D printing in particular has the potential to revolutionize castings in terms of precision and time taken in production. Patternless molds increase the efficiency of the casting process for large scale manufactured components. Therefore, ceramic based molds can be utilized for low temperature alloy parts such as mounting brackets. Nowadays, 3D printing technologies allow the direct printing of these molds. This is possible with the aid of CAD modelling of the casting mold which allows instant printing of patternless molds. The aim of this work is to introduce an approach to prepare a 3D design for a casting mold that can be manufactured using 3D printing technology. Mold design was made using Solidworks software according to standardized calculations from which cope and drag components were extracted. Candidates for potential mold material are highlighted along with advantages & limitations of utilizing 3D printing methodology.

The gating system design for a die-casting die is a non-trivial task that involves a number of steps and computations, in which many factors related to part design, material, and process need to be accounted. In case of a multi-cavity die-casting die, the non-triviality of the gating system design increases manifold. The main contribution of this article is to develop a computer-aided system for design of gating system for multi-cavity die-casting dies. The proposed system applies design knowledge and rules, accounting for various influencing factors to design gating system elements and generate their computer-aided design models in an efficient manner. To demonstrate the capabilities of the developed system, the results for an industrial case study part are presented. We expect that the proposed system would help reduce manufacturing cost and lead time, alongside bridging gaps between design and manufacturing of the die-casting process.

This paper introduces a die-casting mold design process. On the basis of the shape of Car oil pump support, central of castings’ side face was selected as the mold joint; due to the design requirements of pouring system, we chosen bias running system. Castings’ size was calculated by requirement of die casting machine, then accomplished designs of molding and structure’s components. Because through holes which on the side face of castings are not deep, angular pin core puller is competent, at last, the final assembly of the mold and the simulation is completed.

Die casting is a high productive method to produce non ferrous castings such as Al, Mg alloy. And die temperature field paid important effects on the casting quality and die life. Die temperature field was controlled mainly by water cooling channel in die. In this paper, some factors influenced the die temperature such as the temperature of cooling water, the location of cooling water channel, the diameter of cooling water channel, the amount of cooling water channel were discussed and analyzed by FEM. These results are very practical in die casting process.

Die Casting Process

The slanted-guide-pillar core-pulling mechanism is the most commonly used side core-pulling mechanism in die-casting die. But when filling the die with pressure, aluminum leak frequently happens between lower motion-stopping surface of sliding block and side surface of moving die insert, since the clearance is bigger between side core and core hole. In many improved approaches, changing the lower motion-stopping surface of sliding block into upper motion-stopping surface of it or reducing the lower motion-stopping surface area is the simplest and reliable measure. The sliding block’s setback which occurs in die-casting process can be eliminated effectively and the workload of maintaining die can be reduced by this measure.
