Porosity1 in your die castings causes leaks and structural failures. These hidden voids force you to scrap expensive parts, threatening your entire project timeline and creating massive production headaches. Solving porosity requires a combination of strategies: optimizing mold venting2 and a vacuum system3, tightly controlling injection parameters4 and metal temperature5, using high-quality degassed aluminum6, and […]
Shipping a part with a hidden defect can destroy your project and reputation. Without the right inspection tools, critical flaws in dimensions, material, or porosity can go undetected until they fail in the field. A robust inspection process for die castings relies on a toolkit of specialized equipment. This includes a CMM for dimensional accuracy,
Peeling defects1 can scrap an entire batch of high-value parts, causing huge delays. This hidden issue threatens your project timeline and budget, putting your reputation on the line. Peeling is caused by poor layer adhesion2, often from incorrect mold temperatures3, contaminated release agents4, or improper melt flow5. Prevention requires strict process control6, optimized mold design7n](https://upmold.com/die-casting-die-mold-design/)[^8]
Receiving a batch of die-cast parts that look great but fail after painting is a disaster. The coating peels off because of invisible residues, causing costly rework, delivery delays, and tough conversations with your end customer. The most common methods include shot blasting and deburring for cleaning, followed by surface treatments like powder coating for
The lightweight of EV Battery Housing In addition to the lightweight of the body structure, the battery pack itself also needs to be lightweight. The lightweight of the battery housing is one of the directions of efforts. Especially for battery packs of pure electric vehicles, the pursuit of high mileage on the premise of the
Choosing the wrong aluminum alloy can lead to production nightmares and costly part failures. These hidden issues threaten your project timeline, your budget, and ultimately, your reputation with the end customer. ADC12 is the go-to alloy because it provides a superior balance of castability, mechanical strength, and cost-effectiveness. It flows well in high-pressure die casting,
