Case Study of Large Three-Dimensional-Printed Slider with Conformal Cooling for High-Pressure Die Casting
Original language description
Metal three-dimensional (3D) printing technology brings several benefits to the field of high-pressure die casting of aluminum, which enhances its development. The associated conformal cooling application is already commonly used where there is a need to improve the quality of castings, increase tool life, or reduce the production cycle. However, will this technology withstand the production of a large part (~270 x 270 x 200 mm), which will be used directly in the serial production of engine blocks? This article describes a slider with a conformal cooling case study, which was redesigned and manufactured using the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) method. After the slider was put into serial production of 1.0 TSI three-cylinder engine blocks, this tool was thoroughly monitored based on the temperature field by comparing the results of a simulation in SW ProCAST with reality, and furthermore examining the influence of the tool on the quality of castings. There was also an evaluation of repairs performed on the tool in the ŠKODA AUTO tool shop and the foundry. These data were compared with a serial tool. Finally, the costs to produce the slider in conventional and 3D-printed variants are compared with an outline of other possible steps for optimizing these costs. The study results show that relatively large parts can be printed and used in serial production even today. It was also confirmed that conformal cooling influenced improving tool life, and the number of repairs in ŠKODA AUTO production also decreased.
