Kinetic Die Casting Company sales@kineticdc.com is experienced in Solving Quality Problems of Porosity in Die Casting Parts. Porosity in die casting parts is an important issue in metal-working. Porosity, in the science of materials, refers to the presence of gaps or bubbles inside a metal structure. High porosity tends to weaken the final product. Metal parts production companies are given certificates depending on strength, durability and reliability of their products. Hence, this defect must be minimized.
To fully understand this concept, you must be aware of the metal-shaping process behind it. Die casting is a method that uses high pressure to shape a molten metal alloy. For example, zinc is heated on a furnace to reach its melting point. Then, it will be shot to fill the gap between two die halves. That gap is the mold, which contains the shape and details of the final product. As the lump of zinc solidifies, pressure of up to 175 mega Pascal is exerted through the dies. If gases are accidentally mixed during this speedy process, they will result in porosity in die casting parts.
Most of the time, it is impossible to achieve a 100% pure metal piece if die casting is used. Porosity in die casting parts can be minimized by thoroughly cleaning the dies before operations. Pressures and temperatures must also be matched with the type of metal and intended purpose of the part.
