High Pressure Die Casting Webinar Series

Posted Wed October 19, 2016 @12:29PM

High pressure die casting (HPDC) simulations are typically quite complex. To accurately model the entire physical process one needs to account for heat transfer, melting and solidification, air entrainment, surface defect tracking and cavitation.

In this three-part webinar series, Flow Science will simulate the entire HPDC process in FLOW-3D Cast. We will also demonstrate the power of the new process-oriented workspace that implements the necessary physical models and numerical defaults while setting up the stages of thermal die cycling, filling, solidification and cooling.

Dies are commonly used to produce thousands of castings. Ensuring consistent die temperatures is essential to prevent defects throughout the casting process and also to prevent warping of die pieces that can lead to dimensional inaccuracies in the final casting product. Prior to making the castings, thermal die cycling simulations are carried out in order to ensure consistent die temperatures. In the first part of our webinar series, we look at the wall temperatures of the die under the combined effects of die heating, spray cooling, air blow-off and cooling channels.
