Diagnostics of Aluminum Alloys Melting Temperature in High Pressure Casting

Abstract:

The high pressure casting process is a well-established way for the manufacture of non-ferrous components. Temperature is important technological parameter of production that affects the structure and quality of castings. Using continual exact measurement of alloy temperature is the best approach for predicting structures quality problems.Temperature measurement system also would help to acquire feedback from the manufacturing process so as to prevent possible defects in next phases of manufacturing. For this measurement we used thermocouple type „K“ in protective tube from graphite. It is necessary for correct process to know true values of temperature. For diagnostics we used procedures of SPC (StatisticalProcess Control) and Microsoft Excel 2007 graphic tools.
