In this work, a different wall-thickness 5-step (with thicknesses as 3, 5, 8, 12, 20 mm) casting
mold was designed, and squeeze casting of magnesium alloy AM60 was performed under …

An analytical model is proposed to predict the time varying thermal conductance at the
casting–die interface during solidification of light alloys during High pressure Die Casting …

The objective of this research was to determine the surface temperature of a high pressure
die casting die during casting conditions. This was achieved by instrumentation of an insert …

When simulating the High Pressure Die Casting 'HPDC'process, the heat transfer coefficient
'HTC'between the casting and the die is critical to accurately predict the quality of the …

Contraction and distortion of a casting during cooling within a mould can force their
respective surfaces together, with the associated increased interfacial pressure resulting in …

An analytical model has been developed to quantify and predict the Thermal Contact
Resistance (TCR) at the liquid–solid interface. Contact topography and interface …

A comprehensive study of failures on a used insert of a die for high pressure die casting of
aluminium alloy AlSi9Cu3Fe was conducted. The analysed insert was made of hot work tool …

Increasing aluminium levels in high pressure die cast Mg–Al alloys results in an increase in
the volume fraction of eutectic Mg17Al12 with a change in its morphology from fully divorced …

This paper is concerned with the measurement of thermal properties and in-cavity pressures
in cold chamber high-pressure die casting. The influence of in-cavity pressure on the casting …

As an effective tool, simulation helps do the analysis and optimization in advance and
undertake preventive action. A critical portion of casting simulation is the heat transfer at the …
