Low Pressure Die Casting Technology

This three-day seminar provides fundamental knowledge of low pressure die casting (LPDC) through both theoretical instruction and practical exercises.

Content

Theoretical Part

Fundamentals of the LPDC process, process variants, and casting curve calculation
LPDC alloys (applications, metallurgy, melt treatment, DIN 1706)
Design for die casting
Core production and sand testing
Simulation as a tool for a stable LPDC process; thermal design of LPDC dies

Practical Part

Melt preparation and routine quality analyses (UDIP, K-Mold, thermal analysis)
Casting of LPDC components on the ÖGI LPDC machine
Process optimization and methods for detecting and preventing casting defects
Metallographic examination of produced components; radioscopy
Sand testing in the ÖGI moulding material laboratory
Evaluation and discussion of results

Target Group

Project managers, shift supervisors, design engineers, machine setters, career changers, casting users
