Nitrogen energy storage for die casting machine

Is structural rolling & die casting suitable for mass production?

In addition, the proposed process chain of structural rolling and die casting is suitable for mass production. It is generally known that the mechanical properties as well as the flowability of AlSi alloys in high-pressure die casting can be influenced not only via the geometry of the casting but also via the process parameters.

Do die casting machines consume a lot of energy?

Die casting machines, which are the core equipment of the machinery manufacturing industry, consume great amounts of energy.

How does a die casting machine work?

Therefore, die casting machines mostly use pressure accumulators for driving the plunger and/or charging the casting metal with pressure. By opening the shot valve, the drive piston of the casting unit is charged with pressure moving the casting piston in the shot chamber.

Why is energy consumption prediction important for die casting machines?

The energy consumption prediction of die casting machines can support energy consumption quota, process parameter energy-saving optimization, energy-saving design, and energy efficiency evaluation; thus, it is of great significance for Industry 4.0 and green manufacturing.

What alloys are used in die casting?

Aluminium alloys, zinc alloys, magnesium alloys, and copper alloys are widely used in the die casting process . Ferrous alloys are not used in the die casting process owing to their high melting temperature . The pouring temperature for zinc is 410–430 °C, for aluminium and magnesium it is 650–700 °C, and for copper it is 1050–1100 °C .

What is high pressure die casting?

High-pressure die casting is a mass production process in which an aluminium liquid alloy is forced into the metallic die at high pressure and velocity . The casting is removed from the die after solidification of an alloy . Aluminium alloys, zinc alloys, magnesium alloys, and copper alloys are widely used in the die casting process .
