Studies on the Cooling Effects of Water Cooling Channels in Die Casting Die in Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Die casting is a high productive method to produce non ferrous castings such as Al, Mg alloy. And die temperature field paid important effects on the casting quality and die life. Die temperature field was controlled mainly by water cooling channel in die. In this paper, some factors influenced the die temperature such as the temperature of cooling water, the location of cooling water channel, the diameter of cooling water channel, the amount of cooling water channel were discussed and analyzed by FEM. These results are very practical in die casting process.
