| Abstract Scope |
A main challenge in the high-pressure die casting (HPDC) process is the limited the rate of heat removal needed to extract latent heat from the molten metal. Inefficient internal cooling systems – which consist of simple circuits of drilled holes into the dies - require the use of external cooling of the die surface, thereby increasing process time, thermal fatiguing the die, which shorten processing lifetime of the steel dies. Shiloh Industries has developed an innovative two-phase micro-channel cooling system to overcome this challenge. In this study, HPDC computer models will be used to assess the effect of the two-phase cooling for a generic die cast component. Heat transfer correlations for two-phase cooling were obtained from parametric simulations of the HPDC process that can be used by the casting industry to evaluate, design, and further implement this new technology. |
