High Pressure Die Casting: Solidification
Red represents the completely
solidified metal. The thin ribs of
the part cool the fastest with the
thicker regions not yet solid.
FLOW-3D Cast helps engineers investigate the formation of internal porosity that can affect the quality of the final part. Also, FLOW-3D Cast enables the investigation of segregation in binary alloys. Finally, a detailed temperature history helps determine whether chills or cooling lines need to be added or modified, and whether the initial metal temperature should be changed.
FLOW-3D Cast enables engineers to investigate the formation of internal porosities, thermally induced stresses, and segregation in binary alloys. Also, a detailed temperature history helps determine whether chills or cooling lines need to be added or modified, and whether the initial metal temperature should be changed.
More information on FLOW-3D Cast’s models for evaluating solidification and shrinkage, can be found in the Casting Defect Prediction section.
Temperature distribution at the end of the fill cycle shows
metal cooling where contacting die. The thin components
cool rapidly.
