Analysis design of the gating system on high-pressure die casting process for production effectiveness

摘要

The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of production time for the manufacture of radiator components by performing gating system design optimization. The production data obtained is used as data to examine cases that occur on the production floor. The method of analysis is used to perform simulations on the design of the gating system that already exists, and then compare the results with the new design. The existing gating system design has two cavities while the new design has one cavity. Based on the simulation results, the two cavity gating system has a cooling time of 5 seconds longer than gating one cavity. As a result of longer cooling time, the product can be attached to the mould so difficult removable and can lead to defective products. The percentage of air trapped in the new design is 3.12%, whereas, from the previous design 19.29%, this can cause a reduction in potential defects in porosity in the product.
