High Integrity Die Casting Processes provides a comprehensive look at theconcepts behind advanced die casting technologies, including vacuum die casting, squeeze casting, and several variants of semi-solid metalworking. Practical applications for these processes are illustrated in numerous case studies.
This single-source reference tool presents the latest material in five sections:
* Basic concepts of die casting and molten metal flow
* High integrity die casting processes with case studies
* Product design considerations
* Controlling quality and avoiding defects
* Future advances under development
Key coverage includes a survey of liquid metal flow, strategies to overcome the limitations of conventional die casting, and potential defects unique to high integritydie casting processes. Also featured are methods for minimizing porosity,reducing cost by design, practical applied statistical process control techniques,designing for manufacturability, and containment methods for potential processing defects. Several chapters present detailed real-world examples illustrating the broad range of applications possible using high integrity die casting processes.
