Classification of Porosity in Die Castings

Classification of Porosity in Die Castings. Porosity in casting aluminum alloys directly affects the reliability and quality of products which incorporating die cast metals into their design. Die Casting Manufacturing companies rely on advanced technologies and methodologies to minimize porosity so as to avoid additional overhead.

The types of porosity in die castings vary in terms of their characteristics. The three basic classifications however are continuous, blind and totally enclosed, which are manifested in four general types namely micro, micro/macro, funnel and macro.

Continuous Porosity

The first instance of continuous porosity in metal castings is the presence of leak path from a particular enclosed section towards another. The Micro Manifestation shows a slow single-point leak.

The second instance of continuous porosity is the presence of collective defects which are interconnected in many areas. The Micro/Macro Manifestation of such characteristic is multiple leak points at a slow rate.

The third instance of continuous porosity is the presence of externally visible defects with micro-sectional defects. The Funnel Manifestation is a slow single-point leak.

The fourth instance of continuous porosity is the gross visible defects in the surface of metal castings, shows extreme leaking in the Macro level.

Blind Porosity

The first circumstance is the absence of visible defects on the surface of die cast metals while micro manifestation displays a weeping of contaminants towards the surface. A wet or darkened region is also visible. On the other hand, the said casting holds pressure.

The second circumstance is the absence of visible imperfections on the surface. There are however darkened parts of the casting surface. The Micro/Macro Manifestations include gushing of machining fluid towards the surface. The castings on this instance still hold pressure.

The third circumstance is the visible die cast porosity and pitting on the surface. The Funnel Manifestation includes discoloration of the surface and weeping of machining liquids.

The fourth circumstance of blind porosity is the display of visible porosity holes on the surface of the metals and the roughness of the said surface. The Macro Manifestation includes surface discoloration and the presence of contaminants.

Totally Enclosed Porosity

Defects and impurities are not visible on the surface which is often caused by material shrinkage or gas accumulation. Shrink porosity is characterized by irregular shape and rough surface. Gas porosity is displays a smooth and regular shaped castings.

Maximum Protection

Maximum Protection. Steel is the preferred material to be used as protection for any item. It is relatively cheap but is very sturdy compared to other materials. The only problem encountered with using steel is the weight of the material. Steel, especially compounded ones, is very heavy compared to other materials. This makes it difficult to carry around even if the item contained inside is small. For this reason, it is best to use an aluminum box instead of a steel box with a die cast tool.

Aluminum boxes are containers that are as durable as steel boxes but possess only half their weight. These boxes are used to store items of any kind and value although they are more commonly used to store electronic items. The reason for this is that aluminum boxes prevent the electronic items from malfunctioning due to external magnetic energy. They come in different sizes to cater to the different types of electronic devices. They also come in different colors to give way to the preference of individuals. They can be purchased in DIY stores, hardware stores, and online stores.

Aluminum boxes usually come as DIY kits so that owners are able to customize the enclosure to fit their devices. This is not often the case however since device manufacturers make their own enclosures to fit their devices. In cases where an aluminium box does not fit a device perfectly, contacting manufacturing plants is the most advisable option. Manufacturing plants tend to have schematics of popular devices which means that they can create an aluminium box that will fit the device perfectly.

Tooling Used For Aluminum Die Casting

Tooling Used For Aluminum Die Casting. Tooling is a major requirement in aluminum die casting. During the process of casting, the softened molten metal is injected through custom tooling. The die is then cut into two halves. There is the cover metal die which is mounted on the stationary based platen and the ejector type die, which is actually mounted to a movable platen. Such a design provides the die with the ability to close or open along parting lines. Once the hole is closed, the two die halves will form a type of internal cavity which is filled with hot molten metal in order to form its final casting.

The cavity is formed through 2 inserts. The two inserts are the core and cavity inserts. They are inserted into the cover or ejector die. The cover die provides movement or flow of the molten metal through the injection area. Through a small opening and the cavity, the molten metal will be able to move easily. The ejector die also includes a support plate and a small enclosure called the ejector box, which is well mounted onto the area of the platen. When the clamping separates the 2 halves of the die, the clamping bar will be pushing the ejector plate into the ejector box. The clamps will then push the pins of the ejector to the molded part. The added pressure will eject the clamp from its core insert. In order to perfect the process, multiple cavity die is often utilized and in this type of process the two halves of the die will form several types of identical cavities.

An Enclosure for Electronics

An Enclosure for Electronics. Electronic items need a special type of enclosure because, unlike common items, they are prone to damages other than those caused by physical contact. They can be rendered unusable if placed near or subjected to a source of magnetic energy. This is because electronic items use electrical energy to create magnetic energy in order to function. An external source of magnetic energy would “confuse” their system, so to speak, and would prevent them from functioning normally. This is why electronic items are stored inside aluminum boxes.

Aluminum boxes are containers that prevent external sources of magnetic energy from reaching an electronic item. These boxes use the fundamental principle of physics that magnetic energy travels only on the exterior of an enclosed object. Usually, aluminum boxes can be seen in hardware stores or DIY stores. However, the problem with these boxes is that they come in pre-determined sizes. Electronic items need to be secured in place as they are being carried around to reduce the chances that they will acquire damage. It is therefore advised to contact a manufacturing plant in order to find an aluminum box that has the exact specifications for the electronic item.

Manufacturing company create these boxes only if they manufacture aluminum based products. Customers need to contact the manufacturing plant and then give the specifications that they desire. The plant will then give a quote for the total cost of the order. Depending on the manufacturing plant, orders may either be accepted individually or in bulk.

Value for Kinetic Casting Production

Value for Kinetic Casting Production. Casting is known as a metal-forming process for producing various kinds of engineered metal parts. Manufacturing is done by injecting molten metal that has been pressurized into the steel die. After the metal injection process, the die casting machine clamps down the mold and forms several die casting parts. Enclosure parts, military items, speaker items, consumer metal parts, appliance items, and transportation parts are good examples.

Diecasting dies or die casting molds are extremely resilient, and are also capable of producing complicated shapes that are packed with an impressive level of accuracy and repeatability. Die casting parts, such as hardware and military parts are also popular for their smooth, sharply defined or textured surfaces. Most of these parts have a consistent dimension.

Manufacturing parts like zinc box components,military components, speaker components, metal casting components, automotive items, and transportation parts using the die casting system is known to be the most organized manner of converting raw materials into finished products. Businesses use die casting for mass producing small to medium size parts. This is the major reason why most of these parts can be found in different industrial, commercial and consumer products.

Diecastings are manufacturing using non-ferrous items like copper, lead, aluminum, magnesium, tin, pewter, and zinc-based alloys. Even many zinc enclosure items,airplane parts, lighting fixture parts, consumer metal items, motor parts, and transportation parts are made of these elements. Some parts require machining, while there are some which can be producing without machining. The duration of an entire die casting process varies. Some small parts can be finished in less than a second. On the other hand, larger components can be completed in two to three minutes.
