TOWARDS THE MODELING OF FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTIVE LOST CORE DEFORMATION IN HIGH-PRESSURE DIE CASTING
1 Introduction High-pressure die casting(HPDC) is an important process for manufacturing high volume and low cost automotive components,such as automatic transmission housings and gear box components 1,2.Liquid metal,generally aluminium or magnesium,is injected through complex gate and runner systems and into the die at high speed,typically between 50 and 100 ms-1,and under very high pressures up to 100 MPa.However,it has up to date proven difficult to employ lost salt cores within the process 3.The basic idea of using salt cores is to create undercuts or hollow sections with them,which may then later act as cooling or oil-flow channels 4,5,6.Given this process constraint in design freedom for the CAD-engineer,the idea of using salt as the material for lost cores has been put forward by machine manufacturers,as well as automotive companies 7,8.One way to determine whether this is indeed viable is to employ numerical simulation 9.
