High Pressure Die Casting Process Analysis
ProCAST simulation of filling, solidification and porosity in aluminium and zinc die casting.
Market demands on cost and time now call for a scientific approach to design: the part design must be studied together with the analysis of metal flow, heat flow and residual stresses.
Our simulation service is aimed at designers, die makers, foundries and everyone who, day after day, pursues the ever more challenging quality and productivity targets set by the market.
Process simulation with ProCAST is essential to manage the die casting of metal alloys scientifically, allowing the parameters involved (process, die and part geometry, etc.) to be adjusted.
Based on the results it becomes easy to change the die geometry and decide the parameters to use on the machine.
Benefits
- Far fewer adjustments during die tryout.
- Shorter time to design the mold.
- Optimization and verification of the runner system.
- Accelerated development of the process parameters.
- Reduced time to market.
- Lower production costs.
- More competitive, higher-quality products.
