Model testing of flow phenomena in the squeeze chamber of a cold-chamber diecasting machine

摘要

A review of the studies carried out on this subject so far was made, and the available mathematical models applicable at Phase I of the diecasing process were presented. Own model testing of the examined process phase was described. The tests were conducted on a laboratory station designed and constructed to serve this purpose. Basing on the obtained results, the fundamental Garber's model was modified and extended further to include the coefficient of liquid metal viscosity.
