Advancements in High-Pressure Aluminum Die Casting Technology
Many recent innovations and technological advancements are occurring in high-pressure aluminum die casting. These advancements have led to improved functionality and quality of aluminum die casting, as well as an increase in cost-efficiency. The design and process control of high-pressure die-casting machines has gone through advancements, including a change in design and control systems. Sensors are included within die-casting machines, allowing for adjustments to the process and decreasing the margin of error.
As high-pressure die-casting has technological advancements, so does the whole of the manufacturing industry. Using improved tooling and molds improves production runs by decreasing time and cost margins. Aluminum’s presence within die casting provides a lightweight solution, creating new avenues for production. The manufacturing industry is revolutionized as advanced machines, software, robotics, and materials enter the High-Pressure Aluminum die-casting process.
Updated Software and Sustainability
Aluminum alloy allows for a lightweight choice of material to reduce emissions used during the die-casting process. The reduced emissions, with the increasing use of recycled aluminum alloys, are involved with the ever-growing sustainability practices integrated into the manufacturing industry.
Simulation software – advanced computer simulations – also contribute to increased sustainability as it lowers the risk of human error and the need for repeated processes. Simulation software optimizes the casting process by integrating the design before production begins. The design, conflict resolution, and cost-effectiveness are all increased by the new advancements in aluminum die-casting technology.
New Methods of Casting
The die-casting process has made environmental, design-based, and technological advancements, while also introducing new methods of casting that assist in these increased levels of functionality. These methods include:
- Electromagnetic Pump Low-Pressure Casting
- Extrusion Die Casting Technology
- Vacuum-Assisted Die Casting
- And More!
Electromagnetic pump low-pressure casting involves an electromagnetic force that is used on liquid metal. After the force makes contact with the metal, the aluminum liquid is turned into its intended design. The electromagnetic force moves through software-given instructions, which lowers the chance of human error.
Extrusion die casting is a good alternative to traditional die-casting as it is compatible with pressure casting, casting and forging, and semi-solid casting. Vacuum-assisted die-casting technology involves pushing air from the die before casting, which improves the properties and surface finish of the final product. The initial removal of gas allows for the cavity to condense under pressure, making the intended die-casting part.
