Characterization of Local Cavity Pressures in Squeeze Casting of Magnesium Alloy AM50

Abstract:

In this study, the experimental measurement of the pressure distribution in a cylindrical die cavity for squeeze casting of magnesium alloy AM50A was carried out. Piezo-electric quartz pressure transducers were integrated into a die cavity for real-time pressure measurements. The experimental results revealed that local cavity pressures at various locations changed with time in the duration of squeeze casting solidification and cooling. The pressure transfer rate varied considerably within the casting geometry. The distribution of local cavity pressures was inhomogeneous in the cavity.
