What Is Die Casting Simulation Software?
 |
| Die Casting Simulation Software |
Die casting simulation software is used in the analysis of the casting solidification in the die, the flow of the metal, pressure-induced during the die casting process, vacuum requirements, type of pump required for appropriate vacuum, the right amount of pressure required during casting, sleeve length, sleeve shot, appropriate metal quantity, turbulence-induced during the injection of the molten metal in the die.
This analysis and study are done with the objective of producing sound casting that will reduce defective casting and improve the quality of the casting process, increasing the efficiency of the casting production process.
This analysis is done with the die-casting simulation software for low-pressure die casting, high-pressure die casting, gravity die casting, hot chamber die casting and cold chamber die casting which increases the profitability of the foundry and builds trust in the supplier, manufacturers customers and vendors.
Following is the list of die-casting simulation software used for the simulation of high-quality die castings.
Die castings are manufactured using the die-casting process in the foundry.

Die Casting Simulation Software Analysis
Die-casting simulation software is used for the analysis and design of the following things in the casting process:
- Analysis of low to high pressure in the mould and impact on the mould cavity, molten metal, core, casting quality and defects in casting.
- Analysis of the velocity, temperature, solidification and flow of metal in the die cavity.
- Study of surface texture, metal fusion and soldering of molten metal to the die surface.
- Prediction of die-casting defects such as hotspots, thin section warpage, distortion of casting sections, metal shrinkage, cavities, air pockets and misruns.
- Assist foundry casting engineers to increase the production rate and reduce the cycle time of the die-casting cycle.
- Study of pressure in the die cavity, vacuum, flow of metal in the sleeve, pressure range and backpressure included during the high-pressure die casting process.
- Thermal analysis of the die section reduces pre-solidification of the casting sections improving the efficiency of the cooling sections in the metal mould die.
- The software helps in the designing of the cooling channels that contribute to the uniform cooling of all casting sections.
- Helps in deciding solidification time, cycle time, material, die mould cavity design, insert placement, location of the chills, gating system and volume of the molten metal.
- Study of the biscuit part of the casting, the grip of robots on the casting,
- Analysis and effect of the die moulding material spray on the die cavity, application of die paste and application of air spray on the die mould.
- This software helps training, improve skills and increase transparency in the manufacturing process for engineers.
