Abstract

The advancement of science and processing technology is highly essential for the development of human civilization for a better life. Mass production leads to the availability of goods at a lesser price. Aluminium die-cast components are widely used in the automobile, aerospace, and consumer goods market. Proper process parameters are required to produce components with minimum rejections and scrap. This paper studies optimum injection parameters to produce components without defects. The common defects encountered in high pressure die casting process (HPDC) are cold shut, flow line, blowholes, pinholes, shrinkage, gas entrapment porosity, etc. So, it is necessary to run a manufacturing process that gives high productivity and profit to the organization. This research analyses the effect of slow speed, fast speed, and intensification features which greatly affect the casting quality. Optimum value for the injection parameters such 1st phase length, 1st phase velocity, 2nd phase length, 2nd phase velocity, 3rd phase cavity pressure & holding time are estimated to reduce the rejection of components due to defects.

Keywords: Casting defects, Cavity pressure, Fill time, Gate area, Injection velocity
