Session description
Every process engineer knows that most of the issues are related to thermal reasons. The thermal factors in die casting include the temperature of the alloy used for casting, the temperature of the die itself, and the temperature of the die-casting machine. Each of these must be kept in an optimum temperature range to ensure the highest part quality. For example, if the mold temperature is too cold, the temperature of the metal could drop too quickly as it flows into the mold and cause defects, such as greater porosity or misruns on the casting surface. It is therefore clear that checking the surface temperature of the mold becomes even more essential during the giga/mega era where the cost of a single part has increased so far and the mold are becoming huge. Let's discuss how thermography ...
