The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar – Engineering Die Casting Dies: Dimensional Repeatability. This looks at defining what the customer wants and gives a standard approach to what the process can normally achieve, with such things as dimensional tolerances and flatness. It covers defining what your plant can achieve on a day-by-day basis using a small amount of math.

The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar - Engineering Dies: Thermal Design - Why Bother. This covers WHY the thermal design is important. It introduces the simple, but important variables such as surface area and the amount of heat that needs to be controlled. It has been clearly shown that using excess die spray to control die temperature usually results in lower die life, higher variation in quality day-to-day and increases gas porosity. Thermal design is important but can be simple.

High Integrity Die Casting Melting, Melt Treatment, and Transfer
The material presented in this video are some highlights from NADCA’s online webinar - High Integrity Die Casting: Melting, Melt Treatment, and Transfer for High Integrity Die Casting. In this webinar best practices of melting, melt treatment and transfer for aluminum high integrity die casting of structural components will be presented and discussed. Many oxide and other inclusions originate from inappropriate practices with the liquid aluminum before it is cast. They cause quality issues / high scrap rates and reduced properties. This webinar explains how to avoid them by using best practices like filtering, degassing, fluxing, skimming, settling, quiescent transfer, etc.
