How to Improve the Flatness of Aluminum Die Cast Components
摘要
The aluminumAluminum die castingDie casting process is the most common way to make castingsCasting as it works well to produce a high volume of castingsCasting. Unfortunately, parameters and non-standard operations can cause various kinds of defects. This work has been carried out at a “Die Foundry” where flatness deviations of a cap castingCasting used in the telecom industry has been analyzed. The analysis has considered both external and internal factors in the foundry process. The results show that the cooling has a significant impact on the flatness of the cap castingCasting. A series of tests were made focused on the cooling of the cap castingCasting and the results showed that caps castingCasting chilled in a fixtureFixture may well solve the problem of flatness deviations.
