    Analysis of the Impact of the Construction of a Gate on the Macroscopic Structure of a Casting and Its Influence on the Mechanical Properties of Castings

  • Original language description

    The macroscopic structure of a casting has a direct impact on its mechanical properties. The porosity and homogeneity of a casting closely correlate with its tear strength characteristics. In order to achieve the best mechanical properties, it is necessary to eliminate internal defects in a casting. The elimination of such defects can be achieved through the suitable adjustment of the input parameters of high pressure die casting machines prior to starting the actual casting cycle. This method is useful for companies that produce castings on the basis of supplied pressure forms, whereby it is impossible to influence the design of the gating systems. A much more appropriate way to influence the homogeneity of a casting is to design the gating system so that possible shortcomings are already underpinned and excluded in the design and development phases. By adjusting various elements of the gating systems it is possible to achieve significant improvements in the properties of a casting. The construction of the gate has the biggest influence on the final homogeneity of a casting. The gate is the point at which the modulation of the melt flow rate takes place for the filling of the die cavity. The mode in which the cavity is filled and the speed of the melt flow rate are the main determinants of the final characteristics and properties of a casting. This paper presents an analysis of the macroscopic structures of castings produced under various gate construction modifications and their effect on the mechanical properties of those castings. Conclusions, which are drawn on the basis of the detailed analysis, describe the correlation between the macroscopic structures and the mechanical properties of castings with precautionary measures that are used and implemented directly in production.
