Die Casting Mold
Challenge: Porosity in thick sections; thermal fatigue reducing die life; tight tolerance on mating surfaces for electronic housing.
Solution: H13 heat-treated die steel (48HRC), simulation-optimized gating to reduce turbulence, and vacuum-assisted die casting for porosity control.
Result: Porosity reduced by 70% vs. conventional method, die life 50K+ shots, flatness 0.1mm on mating surface.
