Planning and implementation of series-ready cast components requires sound knowledge of the casting process from all parties involved. Supplier selection, (casting-oriented) component development, quality planning and assurance, plant engineering and production organization are just a few examples that have a significant impact on series production.

In this seminar, we teach the basics of the casting process "light metal die casting", which is often used for mass production. The aim is to enable more effective work with such components made of aluminum or magnesium.

Part 1: Basics of process technology

2 days

A Metallurgy

Fundamentals of metallic matrix and solidification, alloys (Al and Mg), mechanical properties, melt treatment, process control.

B Elements of the casting machine

Machine components, control technology, special designs, peripheral devices.

C Design and functions of the mold

Design and materials of the mold, bleed technology, parted molding lines, venting, temperature control and mold care.

D Technology of the die casting process

Dosing, mold filling, solidification, heat balance, ejection, mold spraying, temperature influences and process technology Vacuum die casting.

Part 2: Quality standards

2 days

E Casting defect analysis

Strategies to eliminate defects. Main fault types: cavities, bubbles, oxides, cold run, friction points, washouts, cracks.

F Casting suited component geometry

Mold partition, gating position, drafts, section thickness and transitions, tolerances, surface.

Workshop

Procedure and tools using the example of a module mounting. Casting position, calculation, simulation and geometry adjustment.
