Experimental Investigation of Porosity Formation During the Slow Injection Phase in High-Pressure Die-Casting Processes

Abstract: The air entrapment mechanisms in die-casting injection chambers that may produce porosity in manufactured parts are analyzed in this work using visualization techniques of the flow in a transparent injection chamber model, using water as working fluid. In particular, results for the free-surface profile evolution and for the volume of air remaining in the chamber at the instant at which the water begins to flow through the runner are analyzed for different maximum plunger speeds and initial filling fractions. … Show more

“…For this reason, a better understanding of the interaction between all these process parameters and their effect on product quality and on process performance and costs is a current core field of research. In a first group of works [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], one can find experimental studies that analyse the influence of a limited set of process variables on casting quality. Dargusch et al [ 8 ] implemented a series of pressure sensors in the cavity to measure the influence of the intensification pressure and casting velocity on the porosity level of the parts.…”

“…Moreover, Laws et al [ 9 ] developed a study where the process parameters of initial melt temperature, injection pressure, and injection velocity were analysed from the empirical data, finding an optimum operational window. In a similar way, several authors have also conducted quantitative measurements or used image analysis techniques to study the influence of injection pressure and melt temperature on casting porosity [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…Elsewhere, researchers have focused on aluminum and magnesium alloys, which are more commonly used for automotive structural parts. The simulation results are primarily concerned with the fill pattern [22], air entrapment in the shot sleeve [23,24], shrinkage defects in the hot spots [25,26], and microstructural defects affecting the tensile properties [27,28]. With the exception of a single attempt to optimize the process parameters and avoid long fill times [29], few simulation studies have a direct relation to the cold flow defects.…”
