In any casting process it becomes tough to judge the exact cause of casting defects because they are quite perceptive in nature. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to identify the process parameters that considerably affect the quality of the casting product. In the case of gravity die casting process, some common parameters have been listed below to assess their contribution in affecting the gravity die casting process.
These parameters are common to any gravity die casting process. However, some of them are critical and need better understanding.
Preheating is very important in gravity die casting, helping to remove the formation of temperature gradients during the process. Preheating needs to be done in a particular range. If the preheat temperature is above the range, then it could affect die coating and ultimately product surface finish.
To obtain a smooth surface finish of the casted product, dies are coated in the casting process. If the molten metal directly comes in contact with the mold, then a direct chilling effect occurs. Calcium carbide, silicon mixtures, and graphite are typically used as coating materials. Proper coat thickness and suitable materials are necessary in order to produce good quality cast products.
Our research and development team at Omnidex has optimized suitable process parameters, with the research and experience of years. Now, we are running our gravity die casting systems at the appropriate parameters for every kind of material so that our customers can get defect-free products.
