Simulation of die casting

If you use simulations in the pre-development phase, you can avoid design errors in cast parts very early. The simulation of the casting process demonstrates sources of error in filling the mold and the solidification of the part.

Simulation of mold filling behavior and the solidification of the component in die casting


Mold filling simulation
The mold filling simulation simulates the flow of melt in the die casting mold and provides information on filling behavior, temperature field and potential cold-flow points. The determination of the optimum mold temperature is a key criterion for the quality of castings.Solidification simulation

On the basis of a mold filling simulation - it can be a solidification simulation are performed to verify the component geometry. In the simulation, the cooling processes of die-cast form, considered by tempering-channels as well as from the parts in the form and when removed. By analysis, wall thickness and material collections are optimized.

G.W.P. provides simulations as part of engineering services and manufacturing inquiries.

The die casting process
Diecasting is an industrial casting process for manufacturing cast parts of aluminum, zinc, magnesium or brass. The molten metal is pressed under high pressure into the die where it hardens and is then automatically ejected. A diecasting die can contain several cavities. Depending on the die, series ranging from approximately 300 to 400,000 molded parts can be produced due to the high output of the dies. Diecasting allows parts to be manufactured with very thin walls and smooth surfaces and edges. Due to the high strength, very good dimensional accuracy and reproducibility, diecasting is the optimum casting procedure for complex components and demanding applications, both in terms of quality and economy.
