Abstract

Dies for aluminium alloys die-casting fail because of a great number of different and simultaneously operating factors. Some of them may be controlled to some extent by the die-casting experts. In the process of the die-casting the primary source of loading is cyclic variation of the temperature; the influence of other loads is relatively insignificant. The replacement of a die is expensive in both: money and production time. The die design, the material selection and the process thermal stress which is the consequence of the working conditions, the inhomogeneous and to low initial temperature of the die, contribute to the cracks formation. The size and location of cooling channels relative to the surface of the die, which affect the thermal stresses of dies. This work focus on thermal analysis of Aluminium alloy pressure die casting process and analyses the effect of coolant channel location on temperature distribution using ANSYS Workbench 17.1 finite-element package.
